"Forest School, a grassroots global maximization of children's social, emotional, and developmental potential." -Retailing Insight Jane Worroll is a qualified Level 3 Forest School leader, running, with Peter Houghton, year-round Forest School sessions for children in London and elsewhere. She has worked outside for the majority of her adult life, in gardening, tree surgery and, for 12 years, as a Countryside Ranger, a role that included habitat management, monitoring protected species and leading volunteers. She has a degree in ecology as well as an MSc in environmental conservation.Peter Houghton is also a qualified Level 3 Forest School leader. At a charity supporting vulnerable inner-city children and young people, he worked as an artist (in woodwork and other media) and as a key worker, as well as leading Forest School sessions. He is qualified and experienced in historical and ornamental woodcarving and in green woodwork.
The rise of the Forest School movement in recent years is part of a groundswell of concern about the wellbeing of our children, with many media scare stories about child obesity, "nature deficit disorder" (as described in Last Child in the Woods) and lack of exposure to risk.
This woodland adventure book brings the activities and--learning through nature--ethos of Forest School to the parents of nursery and primary school-age children. It's packed full of ideas, from making nature jewellery and whittling a bow and arrow to building a shelter and foraging for food; it also celebrates the Forest School philosophy of encouraging self-esteem, confidence and social skills through engagement with nature. As well as sharing Forest School's brilliant ideas for activities, this book encourages parents to follow aspects of the Forest School approach in the way they handle play sessions; in, for example, getting adults to engage actively while being careful to let the kids lead; in framing sessions with small rituals).
Activity variations target different age groups, and there are ideas for small groups (for play dates, for example, or children's birthday parties) as well as things to do with just one or two children. While the book is aimed at parents, who are encouraged to guide the play, the activity instructions are written in a simple style so that children can read them too, and the illustrations are also intended to be enjoyed by children. With a fun, child-friendly design, this book offers an immersive experience for all the family. The book is designed to be robust enough to withstand outdoor handling while also being attractive as a gift for "green" parents, with charming illustrations and a retro design that together create a magical feel and chime with the back-to-nature content.
Full of fun, practical projects and games! This book is perfect for those who are already familiar with the forest school philosophy and are looking for a resource with games and project ideas. We’ve done some of the crafts in our own backyard and look forward to doing even more on our forest adventures this summer!Lovely book This is an absolutely beautiful book. Not only the content, but the book itself! It has wonderful little sketchings throughout that are just delightful.I would highly recommend it to anyone who has children or works with them. It has so many fun ideas on how to encourage kids to engage with nature and their outdoor environments. The activities are also written in a lesson plan format, so very helpful for teachers. Most of the activities could be modified for yards, parks, or schoolyards.Love this book so much Love this book so much. We are going to use it for our nature group. The activities are great and we LOVE that it shows the ages each one is suggested for. Great book.
