There are times when keeping your young children occupied and
entertained can be a real challenge, no matter how super-organized
or imaginative your parenting skills. This is where The Big Book of
100 Outdoor Activities, a bumper book of boredom-busting fun, comes
in. The aim is to provide parents with loads of simple and quick
activities and creative ideas, to engage and entertain their
children and encourage them to learn more about their natural
environment. Activities are grouped into eight handy sections:
Wildlife Spotting In the Garden Messy Makes Arts and Crafts Games
Rainy Day Activities Outdoor Cooking Music Dressing up Each one is
packed with things to do that range from spur-of-the-moment
creative play, involving little or no preparation, to mini projects
with step-by-step instructions. These are just a few of the
ingenious ideas: making a baking soda rocket, painting with fruit,
growing your own pizza toppings, feather printing and making a bug
hotel to cooking smores, pressing flowers, leaf rubbing and
wildlife spotting.
12 step-by-step dinosaur origami projects for children, including
paper to make them with. Suitable for children from age 5 and
upwards, Mari Ono's dinosaur origami projects are the perfect
introduction to paper-folding for kids. Including a Velociraptor,
Triceratops and, of course, a ferocious T-Rex, all the projects are
fun to make and play with, and there are amazing dinosaur facts
throughout, so children can learn while they craft! There are
simple step-by-step instructions and clear photographs, as well as
helpful arrows showing where to fold. Each design has a skill
rating, so children can start with an easy one and then move on to
something a bit more challenging until they are easily impressing
friends with their paper-folding skills! Specially designed pieces
of origami paper are included with the book, so children can start
crafting straight away.
