Pocket Guide: Seeds to Trees: Introduce Young Children to Nature Through Trees and Forests
()
About this ebook
The Pocket Guide includes four hands-on experiences that introduce nature to children ages 3–6 through exploration and discovery of trees and forests. It is designed for adult leaders, educators, and families to use with young children in groups up to 8. Guide children in finding shapes outside, help children focus on the sounds of nature, explore parts of trees through touch, and discover the products we get from trees. The activities help young learners understand forest concepts through hands-on play, props, and stories. They work well on their own as well as collectively. Adapt the activities to meet the unique needs of the children you work with, the natural environment in your area, and the materials that you have available. The Pocket Guide also includes suggestions for leading outdoor experiences, and tips for how to work with youth of different ages and collaborate with schools and teachers for field tours.
