A practical book for everyone who wants to explore the experience of nature with children aged 3 and up! Children are explorers: they desire their own creative opportunities and want to discover and understand their world on their own. What animals can be found in a river? How different can stones be, and how do you distinguish between them? What shapes and patterns can be found in nature when you look closely? Children joyfully and energetically pursue such questions when they receive the right prompts. "Children Want to Be Outdoors" supports you in this and includes a variety of practical ideas, such as creating a water museum or an animal restaurant. Numerous photos and detailed project reports illustrate the suggestions, ensuring you are well-prepared for various activities in nature. The book conveys the significance of nature.
