Earthwise is full of practical ideas for nature crafts and seasonal
activities to encourage young children to be aware of their
environment. The activities are carefully written and beautifully
illustrated, and will encourage children to develop a respect for
nature, the earth and all living creatures. Children will learn
about their dependence on the earth's produce (by taking stalks of
wheat and turning them into bread-flour); how to create and not
just consume (by making their own gifts); how to make butter and
grow food (even in the city); and how to make outdoor playhouses
from natural materials. The book also contains seasonal suggestions
for making a more Earth-friendly home and classroom, and a
comprehensive list of resources and suppliers.

Rob (video number 24), this is a gloriously silly rhyming story
