Description:

Oh, what fun a child can have by jumping in mud puddles, collecting bugs, and listening to the birds! And yet, many children today have become so occupied with TV, computers, and video games, that unstructured, outdoor play is sadly becoming a thing of the past. Organized by season, and appropriate for both urban and country settings, each activity is accompanied by a fun fact to help further a child's understanding of the natural world and open up a conversation.
