Earthways: Simple Environmental Activities for Young Children

Earthways is filled with hands-on nature crafts and seasonal activities to enhance environmental awareness. The activities are carefully written and beautifully illustrated. Children play with the elements of earth, air and water. They develop respect for nature, for the earth and for all living creatures. They experience the awe and wonder of the world around them. Children learn firsthand about their dependence on the earth. They can learn how to take stalks of wheat and turn them into flour for making bread, how to be a creator and not just a consumer by making gifts, how to make butter and grow food (even in the city), and how to make outdoor playhouses. Seasonal suggestions for creating a more earth-friendly home and classroom are also included, in addition to a comprehensive resource list.
