Publisher's Synopsis
The Green Explorer makes outdoor education approachable to everyone. Nature for children isn't about memorizing facts. Instead, children can learn to engage their observation skills, imaginations, thinking skills, and senses of adventure when they go outdoors. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, teacher, childcare provider, scout leader, camp counselor, or an environmental educator, these tried-and-true activities help engage young nature explorers with their surroundings. Take a walk through your neighborhood or a local park, explore a city's green space, stroll along the shore of a beach, or hike along a state or national forest's trail. In The Green Explorer, you'll find eighty nature activities that you can use over-and-over throughout the year to create a connection to nature that can last a lifetime.
