Worried the kids in your life are spending too much time plugged-in indoors? Introduce (or reintroduce) them to the messy, dirty, wonderful joys of the natural world with this treasure trove of "55+ science and art activities to reconnect children with nature." From creating framed nature art from (thoughtfully collected) natural objects and learning to identify native species of plants to crafting a homemade flower press and creating leaf luminaries, all the activities featured in A Little Bit of Dirt include reasonable supply lists (you can probably find most items around the house), straightforward directions, and prompts to help kids discuss what they learned. Batteries and Wi-Fi not included…or needed! For ages 4 to 8.
