Description
The Nature Activity Book by Rachel Haydon invites young learners on an ongoing outdoor adventure. Packed with 99 hands-on ideas, from making nature journals and spotting seasonal changes to simple experiments and te ao Māori-inspired projects.
Children learn through doing while getting curious about the world around them. Each activity encourages drawing, observing, reflecting and acting in nature, making it a great companion for back-yards, parks and quiet moments outside. This book turns wondering into action, helping kids build both confidence and connection with te taiao (the natural world).
