"Play the Forest School Way" by Peter Houghton and Jane Worroll

The rise of the grassroots Forest School movement in recent years is part of a groundswell of concern about the wellbeing of our children and lack of exposure to risk.

This outdoor adventure manual is packed full of ideas, from making nature jewelry and whittling a bow and arrow, to building a shelter and foraging for food, it also celebrates the Forest School philosophy of encouraging self-esteem, confidence, and social skills through engagement with nature. The activities contain variations for varied age groups, small groups like play dates or birthday parties, as well as things to do with just one or two children. Parents are encouraged to guide the play but the activity instructions are written in a simple style with fun illustrations so that kids can take the lead as well.
