Guide Review - Little Hands Nature Book
The "Little Hands Nature Book" by Williamson Publishing Company is designed for children ages 2 to 6 and their families. It encourages early learning skills such as color identification, compare and contrast, feelings, shapes and self-expression through hands-on activities. Older children will enjoy the activities and will be able to take them one step further and work more on their own.
Children will go on a firefly picnic, be a nature detective, listen to birds' songs, make a homegrown sunflower birdfeeder and explore a caterpillar's tiny world. They will learn about shadows and sun clocks, how rocks become grains of sand, and where frogs go in summer. This hands-on book stimulates kids' curiosity and helps them to discover their own creativity.
I like the layout of the book. The instructions are clear and the illustrations are attractive. Throughout the book, you'll find 'More Nture Fun!' sections with ideas to extend the learning experience of the activity. You'll also find 'Wise Owl' sections that give nature tidbits and more activities.
