Description

Wonder can be found everywhere, in the simplest of places and in many of the activities we undertake every day - you just need to know how and where to look. And, of course, wonder is amplified tenfold when you head outdoors. The outdoors is where imagination and discovery collide in the most spectacular fashion. Mother Nature's secrets are just begging to be discovered and, what's more, she is a brilliant, patient teacher and children willing students. Everything outdoors is full of wonder. This book lists some ideas on how to encourage children to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, the magic in the mundane and enchantment in the everyday. All the activities, either indoor or outside, are simple and inexpensive, and rely mostly on the ready imagination of children. If readers are guided by their knowledge of their own child, together they can find a little wonder in everything they do. So go on. Open the door, step outside and find some magic.
