  This book is part of a series packed with a wide range of activities associated with seasons of the year. It encourages awareness of summer by suggesting interesting and enjoyable things to do or make in relation to all aspects of summer. The author describes changes in the natural world and explains the origins of summer festivals, such as Whitsun and Yam Festivals, as well as traditions such as well-dressing. Each topic is developed through a suggested project, all of which are carefully explained and accompanied by easy to follow step-by-step instructions. Readers can learn to make a sundial, a flower press, a corn dolly, a stick scrambler, model animals, leaf rubbings and stencils, a shell box and a spirit mask. The text is supported by carefully chosen colour photographs showing summer around the world and by full-colour artwork. The author has also written Projects for Spring and Projects for Winter in this series.
