Nature has an important role in Montessorian pedagogy. According to
Maria Montessori, taking care of animals and plants is highly
satisfying for the child: knowing that someone needs him/her and
that his/her work gives rise to life is a great incentive for
his/her sense of responsibility, but also for his/her emotional
development, and ability to imagine and control the actions and
emotions that are part of the world of childhood. The activities in
this book are intended for children from 2 to 10 years, with the
aim of recovering the natural bond between the child and the world
of nature. They are subdivided into 4 areas, according to what
Maria Montessori observed to be the most important aspects in the
child's relationship with nature. The activities are designed
partly for the home, but are always inspired, where possible, by
experience in the open air, in the garden, in the vegetable garden,
in the alley behind the home, or in the playground.

plastic bag. With a positive outlook and a generous dollop of
humour, Your Planet Needs You! shows that taking care of our
environment can be both fun and rewarding. You can be the change!
