According to recent research, one third of children today have never built a den or climbed a tree and that's a terrible indictment on us all! We need children to feel confident and happy playing outside the home (and above all away from computer screens and TVs!).Chris Holland who has been teaching, instructing and mentoring youngsters in bushcraft and nature awareness through the National Curriculum in schools and by play and Forest School addresses this problem of lack of nature awareness with his book I Love my World.
This is a guidebook for anyone who'd like to be more proactive in introducing children to nature – parents, play leaders, teachers, aunties, uncles and grandparents.
Each activity in I love my World – from Elephant Walk to The Sneaking Circle – is clearly described in three sections: Ready, Get Set and Go! and each one gives the appropriate age range, the number of children and the approximate duration.
This is the perfect book for weekends and holidays, guaranteed to encourage you to inspire the next generation and help them connect with the world around them.
