Product Description

The Nature Connection" is an interactive workbook chock-full of creative exercises for kids ages 8 to 13. Leslie begins simply by encouraging children to look out the window & record what they observe: What colour is the sky? What shapes are the clouds? Are there any birds? What kind? Are there signs of what season it is? Once outdoors kids are prompted to record the sounds they hear the ground plants they see the direction of the wind the shape & direction of their own shadows & how each of these change from day to day season to season. " The Nature Connection" offers dozens of fun things to do during every season: write a poem; make a sketch; tell a story; record the daily sunrise & sunset times for the next month; draw a local map & mark the spots where trees rocks animals & other nature sights reside (and identify each one); keep a moon journal; learn the constellations; or collect leaves & bring them home to sketch & identify. Sure to engage the whole family in outdoor fun & year-round nature activities " The Nature Connection" will also stand as a permanent record of a child's unique sightings & experience with nature."
