100 Forest School Activities

100 Forest School Activities is a bumper book that teaches kids how to thrive outside, through outdoor crafts, bushcraft skills and nature-based play.

This lively collection of outdoor activities is an essential guide for connecting with the natural world, whatever the weather. Packed with ideas for elementary schoolers to teens, there are projects for rainy days, imaginative outdoor games, bushcraft basics, gloriously messy crafts and activities to increase children’s awareness of nature. Forest School encourages children to get up close to nature in a fun yet informative way. Through controlled risk taking in a natural environment, it improves children’s confidence and self-esteem while boosting their social skills and resilience. It’s also the perfect antidote to too much screen time and classroom-induced fatigue.
