Children love to engage in a dialogue with nature. This book presents many surprisingly simple and effective ways that parents or educators can implement together with children: games in and with nature, creating mandalas, meditations for children, experiencing and discovering trees anew, observing animals, or becoming a part of nature through imaginative journeys. The authors encourage readers to explore the many small wonders of nature together through the numerous exercises in this practical book - transforming a "boring outing" into a grand adventure that balances creative activity with healing silence. Children learn playfully through the exercises in this book that they can not only romp, shout, and run in nature, but that experiencing silence and themselves is a wonderful and enjoyable thing, especially when shared with parents or caregivers.
