Turn your backyard into your own outdoor school with this seasonal guide to nature-based learning and play!
Features even more fun games, skill-building activities, and nature crafts for kids, so you can get your young ones outside—come rain, shine, or snow.
The Forest School ethos of nature-based play and learning encourages children to develop confidence, self-esteem, and emotional intelligence. Building on the success of the bestselling Play the Forest School Way, here is a brilliant selection of brand-new games, crafts, and activities that will help kids develop life skills and explore the natural world all year round. Structured around the 4 seasons, each chapter is full of step-by-step games and activities that harmonize with the weather and seasonal nature patterns, including nods to seasonal festivals such as Easter and Christmas. Activities include:
 
• Spring: Nettle Soup; Wood-cookie-Man; Earth Day Birthday Cake; Dandelion and Lime Tea
• Summer: Bark Masks; Blackberry Ink and Feather Quill Pens; Nature Watch; Animal Tag
• Autumn: Evergreen Paintbrush; Baked Apples; Den Building; Leaf Stitching
• Winter: Elf Carving; Compass Treasure Hunt; Charcoal Pencils; Animal Track Casts
 
At Forest School, children return to the same location again and again, building a lasting connection with a specific part of the natural world. Each of the four seasonal chapters in A Year of Forest School includes a description of an extended session (combining active and quieter activities, plus an idea for foraging/cooking), capturing this key part of Forest School play and providing inspiration for parties, themed learning days, and outdoor adventures.
