Remember kick the can? Flashlight tag? Scavenger hunts? Your probably do, but chances are your children don’t. In this plugged-in, time-strapped modern world, activities like building a tire swing, camping, hiking and fishing aren’t everyday fare for kids. Author Jennifer Ward is leading the movement to get kids outdoors again. In Let’s Go Outside! Outdoor Activities and Projects to Get You and Your Kids Closer to Nature – for ages 8-12, she’s focused on helping parents with older children. Not only is spending time in nature good for physical and mental health, Ward says, but it also helps kids foster a love of nature that will mold them into tomorrow’s environmental stewards. This book includes activities to match every child’s strengths and personality including Five Fine Forts and Ten Types of Tag. Enjoy the benefits of sunshine and fresh air; take your preteen back to nature – and toward a happier and healthier life.
