This delightful illustrated book is a guide to introducing children to the great outdoors through fun activities in nature.

The book is divided into seasons, with activities appropriate to each. For example, in spring, children can explore aquatic life in ponds and streams, collect material to make birds' nests or look out for growing bulbs; in autumn they can collect berries or make collages with fallen leaves.
