Have you ever wanted to spy on fairies in the garden, meet a unicorn or share a picnic with a mermaid?
Wild Things, published by Lonely Planet Kids this April, and written by the authors of the hugely successful Stick Book, will show how, with a little imagination, a few wild materials and some basic tools, you can.
Packed with over 100 magical outdoor activities, this fantastical guidebook will develop children’s wild senses and skills, and help them unlock the magical power of nature.
With Wild Things, children can discover mythical creatures in forests, meadows and fields, in ponds, rivers and at the seaside – as well as everyday places close to home such as school playgrounds, local parks, or among the pots on the patio. From tracking dragons to creating shadow giants, children can find Wild Things wherever they look, all year round.
Bursting with brilliant ideas, inspiring photography and beautiful illustrations, Wild Things shows children how to:
- Create
flower fairies and leaf elves, and craft fairy fashions from colourful petals - Brew
magic potions from berries and herbs - Build
unicorns from snow - Make
mini-worlds from wild materials and clay - Bring
tree monsters to life - Find
a troll bridge - Discover
spooky natural nightlights
And lots more!
So, are you ready to uncover the enchantment of amazing, make-believe worlds? It’s time to turn off the virtual world and switch on your imagination as you get outside, brush up on your magic skills and take a giant leap into the world of the Wild Things.
About the Authors:
Jo Schofield and Fiona Danks have written a selection of books packed full of activities to inspire children and families to get outdoors, have fun and discover the wonders of the natural world.
