Let’s play outdoors – Catherine Ard

Let’s play outdoors, exploring nature for children by Catherine Ard is a book that helps children discover through play how beautiful and fascinating nature is and what it has to offer.

This book encourages children to get out of the house and into nature and take a closer look. Whether it’s the garden, the park or the nearby forest, these are fascinating spaces that are just waiting to be discovered and conquered by curious young minds. Huts can be built from by budding architects from stones, branches and leaves, a dead tree harbours all kinds of insects and if you listen, you can get to know the typical sounds of the animals!

Let’s play outdoors! contains many suggestions that promote a respectful, playful curiosity about animals, plants and nature. The suggested activities inspire independent learning about animals, plants, and the weather, as well as how to look after the world.

Beautifully illustrated by Carla McRae, let’s play outdoors is the perfect book for a new generation of children. And offers parents, who want to teach their children to consciously and sensibly deal with their environment, support in showing children how to interact with their surroundings in a meaningful way.

The let’s play outdoors book is published by Little Gestalten and contains lovely illustrations by Carla McRae. It is recommended for all children, especially those aged 5 – 7 years old.
