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.
