Discover a treasure trove of outdoor activities in this captivating follow-up to the bestselling 'Play the Forest School Way'. This ingenious guide presents a cornucopia of games, crafts, and pursuits designed to nurture children's skills and foster a deep connection with nature throughout the year.

Cleverly organised around the four seasons, each chapter brims with step-by-step Forest School activities that harmonise with the weather and natural rhythms, whilst also acknowledging seasonal festivities. From crafting mud birthday cakes for Earth Day in spring to fashioning leaf mobiles and baking apples over a campfire in autumn, this book offers a veritable smorgasbord of outdoor adventures.

At the heart of the Forest School philosophy lies the concept of repeated visits to a specific natural locale, allowing children to forge a lasting bond with their environment. This year-round approach beautifully encapsulates this ethos, providing a roadmap for Forest School leaders and parents alike to plan themed excursions and parties.

In an age where childhood obesity and anxiety are alarmingly prevalent, the Forest School methodology of nature-based play and learning proves to be a much-needed tonic. By encouraging the development of confidence, self-esteem, and emotional intelligence, this approach addresses the pressing needs of modern childhood.

Interwoven throughout are captivating anecdotes from the authors' own Forest School experiences, passionately advocating for children's access to nature and illuminating the myriad benefits of outdoor engagement, even within urban environments.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
