Naturally Nurtured Nature School, posted by environmental educator Dawn Willis I am beyond impressed with the activity book 'Nature Explorers'! This wonderful resource not only offers simple, realistic nature activities across arts and science, but is enriched with prompts, cool facts, further reading, and storytelling activities... As a forest school owner and teacher and a former educator at the Museum of Arts & Sciences, I know firsthand how much kids can learn when engaging with nature through creative projects. What I love most is how seamlessly this book incorporates multiple subjects into fun activities—kids hardly realize how much they're learning! Nature Explorers is by far the best nature book resource we've used at our forest school. It's packed with neat prompts, crafts, and easy-to-follow facts that keep kids engaged. The Kindle version is perfect for reading on phones, but the paperback is fantastic for hands-on learning and makes an excellent gift for adventurous kids or homeschooling moms. Highly recommended! Stacy Beller Stryer, MD, board-certified pediatrician and Associate Medical Director at Parks Rx America: This book is a wonderful resource for learning how to introduce outdoor activities to children. As a pediatrician, nature lover and educator on benefits of nature for health, I highly recommend this book for both parents and teachers. The activities are all simple and easy to execute, and emphasize nature. Learning outdoors improves creative problem solving and communication skills, and is also more fun! The book also has fun facts interspersed throughout the book that can stimulate lots of questions from children. This is definitely a worthwhile book!
