The Big Book of Nature Art, authored by the renowned Yuval Zommer, presents an engaging collection of twenty-two straightforward craft projects that utilise natural and repurposed materials. This delightful book offers young children an eco-friendly avenue to creatively engage with the natural world.
Drawing from his extensive experience in conducting children's art workshops, Zommer has curated a selection of nature-inspired artistic endeavours that can be completed in just four uncomplicated steps. The book incorporates the author's advice on stress-free methods for fostering creativity in youngsters, whilst using a combination of natural elements and everyday household items.
Each artistic activity is designed with convenience in mind, requiring no more than five minutes for both setup and tidying, ensuring an enjoyable experience for all participants. The book encourages children to recognise the artistic potential in both natural treasures and commonplace objects, ranging from twigs, seed pods, and leaves to toilet roll tubes, pencil shavings, and kitchen string.
Young nature enthusiasts will relish the opportunity to craft an array of charming creations, including avian-themed paper plates, insects fashioned from leaves, owls made from coffee cups, tree bark bats, and miniature creepy-crawlies constructed from seed pods. Additionally, they can design captivating habitats for their creatures, such as aquatic environments and subterranean passages.

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.’
