21 Things to Do With a Tree

Description

A fresh and fun outdoors activity book to learn about and make friends with your very own (chosen) tree! 

First, select the friendly wooden giant that you want to get to know, then meet and explore it more fully with 21 games and activities, all taking place in the great outdoors.

Hug your tree, rub its bark, ask your tree how old it is and meet the animals that make their homes in its branches.

You can also take a bath with your tree (a forest bath that is!), play games together, and make forest art.

​This playful approach to an outdoor activity book supports learning, helps foster a vital bond with nature and stimulates creative and imaginative play for children of 6 and over.
