This site has ideas for the natural explorer in all of us. The activities and resources I have chosen are for families and teachers to engage with the great outdoors. There are lots of different ideas so that they may appeal to all kinds of explorers. I hope you find some that you will enjoy.
In each idea there are links to help you implement and extend the activities including practical and story books, the theory behind the idea.
So what are some of the ways to explore?
