Kids will get inspired by the variety of ideas and will also learn more about the imporance of and our connection with nature.
The book uses full colour photos showing kids growing and making and working. The photos are most of the content with callouts and lists containing instructions in bite-size ways for kids. There’s a glossary and appendix at the back and a table of contents at the front, making it easy to find a project based on your child’s interests or a project you might already be working on in the backyard.
