Description

Young children will be immersed in imaginative, messy play and crafts, while older ones can work on more complex activities like stone tool making and sourcing water. Whether in an organized setting, a group of friends or a family outing, the fun-filled games will build confidence, bonding and result in happy children. Entertaining anecdotes from the authors' own experience of surviving in the wild can be read aloud to children, bringing to life the thrilling reality of sleeping in a cave or show more savoring your first-ever foraged meal. Learn how to light a fire without matches, build a shelter to sleep in, cook on a fire, hunt for bugs and much more. From essential bushcraft basics and Stone Age survival skills to joyful outdoor play, this book is packed with ideas to bring children closer to nature and all its magical offerings. show less

So much playing with fire, knives, axes. So many photographs of kids having these adventures, step by step. The comparison that leapt to my mind was The Dangerous Book for Boys (/Girls), but this book is much more practical and attractive. And definitely dangerous enough to satisfy the children who participate in these activities! One of my grandchildren at age 4 declared his ambition: "when I grow up, I will do dangerous things and cook!". He's 10 now and I look forward to his growing up a bit more in his forest adventures.
