Structured around the four seasons of the year, each chapter is packed full of step-by-step Forest School games and activities that harmonize with the weather and what’s happening in nature at that time of year, with a nod to seasonal festivals such as Easter and Christmas. In spring, for example, you could make a mud birthday cake to celebrate Earth Day on 22 April, or (inspired by bird song) craft sistrums from sticks and bottle tops, or make a clay hare and enjoy dandelion tea and a chocolate egg hunt at a spring day out. At Forest School, children return to the same location again and again, building a lasting connection with a specific part of the natural world, and this book in its year-round approach will bring this aspect of Forest School play to the fore. Each of the four seasonal chapters includes a description of an extended session (combining active and quieter activities plus, for some, an idea for foraging\/cooking) to guide Forest School leaders planning themed days and parents looking for party inspiration or nature days out.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-desc book-trim\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe Forest School ethos of nature-based play and learning that encourages children to develop confidence, self-esteem and emotional intelligence is exactly what’s needed in an era when childhood problems such as obesity and anxiety are on the rise.

Filling the dimples with wood balls (or beads, snacks, stones, shells, etc) matches the number of items to the written numeral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a child is learning numbers, just showing them the number 12 doesn’t mean they understand what it represents. By using this board, your child then sees the relationship between what the number looks like and how many objects are included with it. Even after your child has learned numbers, they can use the board for more activities. Here are some ideas for learning through play…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDISCOVER: Grouped into columns of five, your child will easily recognise the number through a glance rather than counting one by one. Number 11 is two groups of five plus one more. Or ten and one more. Following the same thinking, see how 14 is ten and four more? What's the difference between the top row and bottom row? The additional row of five for every number. So now you see how 12 plus 5 equals 17. Top row plus five equals number beneath it. What about adding the bottom with the top from either side: 11+20=31, 12+19=31, 13+18=31, 14+17=31, and 15+16=31? Isn’t is fun finding all the different combinations?!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTRACE: Demonstrate for your child where to begin tracing and which lines to follow. Use your fingers or the tracing stick. Practice with your dominant hand and for fun, try tracing with your non-dominant hand. With eyes closed, have your child randomly find a number to trace on the board and identify what it is based on the feeling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFILL: Place small items into the grooves to fill up each number, another way to focus in on their shapes and keep little hands busy. An activity of concentration, follow through, and creativity. Use dry foods such as beans, corn, grain, flaxseeds, herbs, and rice. Use nature such as flower petals, leaves, sticks, stones, sand, and shells. Use snacks such as cereal, raisins, pretzels, crackers. Use art materials such as bells, beads, pompoms, pipe cleaners, and jewels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRUB: Place a sheet of paper over the board (either side) and use a crayon to rub the paper, creating an impression of the board onto the paper. Then trace inside the lines on the paper or color in the dots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMOLD: Press play dough into the board to create impressions of the numbers and dimples. Numbers will come out backwards, but then use scissors to cut around them and have numbers to move around for playing. Roll balls of dough to place in the counting side. Then squash each ball with the tracing stick as you count them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMost important of all, have fun!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- - - - - - - - -\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes coloured wool balls.

Stack or fold the fabric so there are two layers and stick a pin through the middle to hold the layers together while you’re cutting. Trace the bowl or cardboard square onto the top layer with chalk. Keeping both pieces of fabric pinned together, carefully cut the shapes out. Taking your time here will make sewing easier, and you won’t have to fix rough edges later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2. Measure an arm’s length of embroidery floss, thread your needle, and knot the end. Starting in between the two layers, push your needle up through the top piece of fabric and pull the thread through until the knot is snugly against the underside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3. Stitch around the edge of both layers using a nice, even backstitch. It is important to make your stitches very close together so the filling won’t pop out, especially if you’re using rice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4. When you have about 1 inch left open, stop sewing but don’t tie off your thread yet; just lay the needle and thread out of the way or push the needle into the fabric to keep it safe. Use the unstitched hole to fill the bag with rice, beans, or the filling of your choice. A kitchen funnel makes this easy, but you can roll up a piece of paper to make a funnel if you like, or just use a small spoon and some patience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5. When the bag is full, finish stitching until you meet up with where you started, then tie off your thread and snip it close to the fabric. If it’s important to you to conceal the knot, you can push the needle between the two layers before knotting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTip: Materials for Hand Warmers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re planning to offer your beanbags up (or use them yourself) as hand warmers, use wool felt for the outside.

It contains beeswax as a main ingredient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe warmth of hands working the wax can be enough to warm the wax to make it more malleable, but a good tip is to ahead of time put the modelling wax in a plastic bag and sit it in a bowl of warm water to soften it up a little before giving it to young children to work on. Other suggestions are to let it sit on a warm windowsill in the sunlight for a little while to heat it just a little.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can be nice to tell children a little story while they keep it cupped in their hands or next to their skin under their shirts to warm it, or while they are doing the initial work on softening the wax in their own hands. Then once they have worked it over a bit and made it more malleable, they can dig into creating forms. Some teachers or parents choose to make the wax into a little ball for their children initially, while it can also be satisfying for a child to work the flat rectangular sheet into a ball shape themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLittle works of art maintain their beauty and charm and can be reshaped again and again.
