'An uplifting philosophy on childhood and life, and an absolute
treasure trove of information for anyone who believes nature and
childhood are perfect companions. Sally Schweizer manages to
combine magic with common sense in this wonderful book, which is
authentic from cover to cover. What she writes with such lively
enthusiasm, she has also lived.' - Sally Jenkinson, author of The
Genius of Play We are always hearing how our children's cultural
landscape is plagued by inactivity, obesity, violent computer games
and obsessive TV-viewing. But it doesn't have to be like that.
Sally Schweizer presents a world of possibilities for children in
urban or rural areas, throwing open the doors to the great
experience of life in the open air. Packed with anecdotes, games
and practical activities, Under the Sky is a vibrant resource for
parents, teachers and carers. So what can you do outside? Well, how
about singing, whittling sticks, chatting, climbing, digging and
making dens? You can build, run, watch small creatures, count tree
rings, listen to stories, perform puppet plays, learn woodwork, or
investigate the many forms of bark. In the outdoors you can enjoy
quiet conversations or make a big noise, be alone or be with
others. And that's just for starters...Under the Sky is an
invaluable guide for anyone wishing to cultivate children's play
and imagination. It features ideas for planning expeditions and
adventures, for toys and equipment, and activities for all four
seasons and all four elements! It includes plans, tips and advice
on child-friendly outdoor design, materials, surfaces, seating,
gardening, pets, wildlife - even campfires, picnics and train
journeys...Under the Sky also contains a chapter showing how
educators can work towards formal Early Years government goals.
