Nature craft projects for tamariki: A gorgeous and inspiring collection of more than 50 nature-inspired projects for tamariki of all ages.

A book of nature craft and gardening activities for children (and frazzled parents) to encourage ‘green time’ instead of screen time.

Activities that utilise the native flora of Aotearoa and honour and respect our natural world by creating crafts that can easily be deconstructed and returned to the natural environment when the activity is complete.

Research shows that being in nature is good for us and that we should aim for at least one hour of time outside per day.

The activities in this book are mainly aimed at urban kids who may not have heaps of outdoor space. Many of them won’t require a lot of materials either, e.g., nature wristbands only requires some double-sided tape, then whatever you can find outside in leaf, pebble or petal form.

Beautiful, inspiring photography will depict a diverse range of children doing activities, with step-by-step photos as well where helpful.

Perfect for parents of young children and teachers. Ideal for ages 2–10.
