Connecting Children to the Wonder of Nature


There's a whole world outdoors waiting to embrace young children--with their curiosity, imagination, and enthusiasm--and to impart its treasures. Experiencing Nature With Young Children invites you to explore this world with children from birth to age 8 in ways that will:

  • Awaken their enjoyment and appreciation of nature
  • Nurture their emotional development
  • Enhance their cognitive growth
  • Spark their creativity
  • Help them discover how we all--people, animals, plants--are connected
  • Engage families and communities in preserving nature


Along the way, children will learn to love nature and its inhabitants. And in learning to love, they will learn to care--helping to ensure that our natural environment will be well looked-after by the next generation. Part ballad to nature, part irresistible invitation to teachers, this book will awaken and renew your own joy in nature--and move you to experience it with young children.
