By Claire Linfield

Designed for curious kids ages 4–7, this hands-on activity book encourages children to unplug from screens and connect with the natural world — one adventure at a time. Whether you're camping, at the cottage, or exploring your own backyard, kids earn colourful badges by completing exciting activities designed with young learners in mind. No expensive equipment required — just curiosity, imagination, and a willingness to head outside.

  • Explore nature through observation and discovery
  • Learn basic outdoor safety and first aid
  • Create simple nature-inspired crafts
  • Move, play, and build confidence outdoors
  • Watch wildlife, weather, trees, water, and the night sky
  • Record discoveries through drawing and creative activities
