Outdoor Activities for Kids Book

There is a wonderful world of nature waiting to be explored just outside every home, and Outdoor Activities for Kids investigates the opportunities that this world offers. No matter where one is - at the beach, in the park, at home, or on a country walk - the surrounding world is brimming with fantastic things to enjoy, see, make, and do.

Outdoor Activities for Kids helps readers learn about nature and guides them in discovering many hidden secrets of the natural environment. The projects included in this wonderful volume teach readers basic facts about the environment; for example, turn over a log or a stone and see a world of tiny creatures at home in the damp, dark soil, or dip a fishing net into a pond or stream and view a wondrous world of varied plant and animal life. Readers can also take a plaster east of animal prints and try to guess what type of animal made them, as well as learn how and why plants grow and how to allow many types of plant life to flourish. Readers will also construct a worm farm, build an insect hotel, make a garden in an old pair of boots, plant a tree, and grow a pineapple.

This interesting, inventive, and creative text offers project ideas for all seasons and ages; whether the reader lives in the city or in the country, this book will be sure to delight.
