Why use a nature activity book?
While a family nature walk can be a fun and exciting adventure without carrying around an activity book, using a nature activity book can have many advantages and benefits.
- By having something fun to do, it can help to motivate and focus children during the walk, reducing the likelihood of boredom and moaning.
- Working through the activities helps them tune in to their surroundings by actually looking for birds, animals, insects, trees and flowers to complete their tasks.
- Having the book at hand allows them to easily identity and recognise elements within the book which might otherwise have escaped their notice.
About our nature activity books
Our books are all created by wildlife artist and mum to one (soon to be two), Leila Bassir. They are all designed to be:
- Family friendy
- Child friendly
- Fun
- Colourful
- Easy to use
- Encourage family nature walks
Originally created for her own baby daughter, they are all still regularly tried and tested by her. ‘My daughter is a tough critic’, says Leila. ‘But, if the book stays in her hands, engages her and keeps being picked up off her book shelf or buggy for excited dashes to identify finds in the garden or out and about on our walks, then I know it is ready to be published.’
Most of the books all incorporate as many varied nature activities as possible, including:
- Nature study
- Scavenger hunts
- Nature journal
- Quizzes and colouring pages
‘I want them to be fun and exciting to use’, says Leila. ‘They should inspire a love and enjoyment of being out in nature.’
