Some of the best craft supplies are already sitting outside.
Wild Child by Your Wild Books is packed with nature-based projects that turn leaves, sticks and other found treasures into open-ended creative play. It is the second book in the Nature Craft Series and includes slightly more advanced ideas than Wild Imagination, while still being easy to adapt for different ages.
Inside are more than 20 activities with simple instructions and around 150 full-colour photos to help kids and grown-ups see how each project comes together.
The ideas are designed to be flexible, inexpensive and easy to adjust depending on what you can find nearby, making the book just as useful in the backyard as it is at a campsite or during the school holidays.
Some projects can be tackled independently by older kids, while younger children may need a helping hand depending on the activity.
