The Nature of Play

Suggesting an antidote to our era of ever-present screens and passive play, our new book, The Nature of Play, offers simple, seasonal activities encouraging children (and the adults who love them) to play with and among nature – whether they live among skyscrapers or fields.

Included! Banish boredom by:

• Learning how to find your way using nature’s signs
• Making a fire – and then cooking delicious food over it
• Going stargazing and spotting constellations
• Creating a beautiful mobile to celebrate the seasons
• Hosting a special summertime party
• Tuning up your bike

Days spent wandering and wondering are what childhoods should be made of – and The Nature of Play is packed with plentiful ideas for simple, fascinating and fun ways to do just that – rain or shine.
