Wild child, nature craft projects for kids, by Australian brand Your Wild Books is full of engaging activities for children aged 2-10 years encouraging open ended play and nature connection!
Beautiful, practical and easy to use, this children’s crafting book includes 20 nature play activities, some slightly more advanced activities than those from the book Wild Imagination. It features more than 150 stunning full colour photographs, accompanied by simple and easy-to-follow instructions.
The wild child activities can be adapted to suit your children’s age and interest. Some activities may require adult assistance for younger nature warriors, but there are often alternatives presented for how you can provide a more or less challenging activity.
Children and adults alike will discover new ideas for outdoor play, and also find ways to bring nature indoors – perfect for those times when stuck inside.
The activities are open-ended, meaning that children can use their imaginations and create dozens of things from one activity prompt. The book shows actual creations made by children and does not encourage all crafts to turn out looking the same. Instead the activities can boost creativity, problem solving and persistence. Nature play also improves fine motor skills, physical strength and coordination.
Wild child allows to easily adapt the activities to suit your location. For example, if you don’t have a pine cone, you can just use what you can find. This also reduces the need for craft purchases, making the activities very inexpensive to implement.
Inside the book you will find more than 20 nature play and crafting activities that are practical and easy to implement, including:
Leaf crowns
Nature wings
Boats and rafts
Stick frames
Nature weaving
Bug journal
Pick up sticks
Light catcher
Leaf art and many more.
The hardcover, full colour book measures 16 x 24cm and is printed on sustainably sourced paper. It’s the perfect backpack size and easy to manage by little hands.
This book is also a wonderful resource for early years and primary teachers, home schoolers, parents and grandparents seeking more nature play ideas! It’s also perfect for taking camping and for school holiday play ideas.

About Your Wild Books
Your Wild Books, founded by author Brooke Davis in 2019, is an Australian brand that helps children to discover new ideas for outdoor play, and find ways to bring nature indoors! Activities laid out in the Your Wild Books invite children to use their imaginations, think outside the box and to create with natural materials.
Previous to publishing her first book in 2019, Brooke founded and ran the award-winning outdoor nature play program called Wild Imagination. She has published seven books and has plans for many more. She hopes her books will spread the joy of nature play and inspire children to develop an authentic and long-lasting connection with nature.
The Your Wild Books are printed in Australia using vegetable based inks and FSC certified paper that is manufactured locally from responsibly managed forests.
They donate 1% of all sales to charity partners, such as to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation, who do important work with regional Aboriginal communities to build literacy and create books in local languages.
