I Love Dirt!: 52 Activities to Help You and Your Kids Discover the Wonders of Nature Review
I had read the reviews that others had posted so I was not sure about this book; however, this is just what I was looking for. I am not nor have I ever been one who loves to commune with nature, so the simple ideas of what to go outside and do have been just what I needed to get my kids and I communicating and learning more about nature. I have had fun combining two or three of the ideas while walking around with my six year old and I have had fun working on getting my almost two year old to stop and actually see what is around her. I thank the author of this book for getting us outside playing and learning.
I Love Dirt!: 52 Activities to Help You and Your Kids Discover the Wonders of Nature Overview

i love dirt too! - Narelle - Frankston, Melbourne, Australia.
Great little manual, very user friendly with meaningful little suggested activities and key questions to ask young children, to help them make sense of their natural world. I recommend it to the families I work with and their children 0-5 yrs. Thank you, from Narelle. [...]
