  This activity book contains outdoor projects for children of eight years and upwards. Step-by-step photographs and clear instructions guide children through tried and tested projects, showing them how to build a shelter or den, make a simple compass, and construct a rainfall gauge. The book also teaches simple outdoor skills, such as using a map, tying knots, and cooking a simple campfire meal. Tips and hints on how to track and spot animals, observe plants and trees, and understand the weather should encourage children to enjoy the outdoors with confidence and enthusiasm. The easy-to-carry format means that the book can be used at home, in the garden, or in the wild.
