Experiencing Nature With Young Children: Awakening Delight, Curiosity, and a Sense of Stewardship in Bloomington, MN

Connecting Children to the Wonder of Nature
There’s a whole world outdoors waiting to embrace young children—with their curiosity, imagination, and enthusiasm—and to impart its treasures. Experiencing Nature With Young Children invites you to explore this world with children from birth to age 8 in ways that will:
Awaken their enjoyment and appreciation of nature
Nurture their emotional development
Enhance their cognitive growth
Spark their creativity
Help them discover how we all—people, animals, plants—are connected
Engage families and communities in preserving nature
Along the way, children will learn to love nature and its inhabitants. And in learning to love, they will learn to care—helping to ensure that our natural environment will be well looked-after by the next generation. Part ballad to nature, part irresistible invitation to teachers, this book will awaken and renew your own joy in nature—and move you to experience it with young children.
