Maker Monday: "50 nature Projects for Kids" by Cecilia Fitzsimons

The outdoors is full of wonderful places to explore and things to discover. Childhood is an especially great time to study and learn through play. In the book "50 Nature Projects for Kids," author Cecilia Fitzsimons has put together a wonderful collection of activities and projects to help your child learn about the natural world. From snail tracking to building your own ant farm, each project is truly kid-friendly and possible for anyone with access to the outdoors. The beautiful photography throughout the book, highlighting each activity, is great for visual learners. My favorite project is "Collecting Spiders' Webs." It's pretty amazing! So check out the book, grab your family, and start creating! Great for preschool on up (with assistance on some projects).
