  This book features over 100 fun, practical ideas to help you enjoy and learn about the natural world outside. Projects are divided into seasons to give you something to do all year round. Step-by-step photographs show how to achieve each project, and full safety instructions are given throughout. This fascinating book is divided into seasons and has lots of ideas for indoor and winter projects, so you'll have things to do even when its too cold to play outside, whether you live in the city or the country. Turning over a log or a stone in the garden will uncover a world of tiny creatures that are at home in the damp and dark, and dipping into a pond with a fishing net can give you a closer look at the varied animal and plant life that lives there. Take plaster casts of animal footprints and try guessing who's feet have made them, or brush up your gardening skills and learn how plants become big and strong. And there are dozens of projects to grow and nurture things, getting to know the soil, seeds and propagation while planting and tending herbs, flowers, fruit and vegetables.
