This book offers activities and workshops for early years settings that encourage children to explore light, air, water and earth through their senses, movement and creativity.

At its heart is an approach to outdoor education that goes beyond simply moving classroom activities outside, recognising nature as a vibrant learning environment full of possibilities. Even a playground, a puddle or a small garden can become a space for discovery, play and learning, where children can observe natural phenomena, develop hypotheses and experiment.
