A Field Guide to Autumn : Play and learn in nature
- The latest instalment in this charming series inspired by the Forest School movement, teaching young children how to engage with nature from season to season.
Inspired by the Forest School movement, the ‘Field Guide to...’ series encourages children to learn in, with and about nature, and to discover the beauty and wonder of each season. Designed as guides to take out into the wild, books in the series prompt readers to explore the natural environment using their senses, curiosity and creativity, while also introducing them to the science behind the seasons.
This new instalment in the series is a pocket-sized introduction to autumn. Building on children’s natural curiosity about the world around them, it aims to establish a connection with nature at an early age that will go on to last a lifetime! Go berry picking, make art out of fallen leaves, identify mushrooms, and build a woodland den. Discover why the weather changes in autumn and how animals prepare for winter.
The book features lyrical poems, hands-on crafts and activities, scientific facts, and identifier pages to help children spot different spiders, leaves and fungi. Whether a child’s access to nature is in the form of an urban park, a private garden, a field, or a forest, there is so much to discover and experience.
