The Outdoor Toddler Activity Book - by Krissy Bonning-Gould (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Encourage learning through play with fun outdoor activities for kids ages 1 to 3

Outdoor play promotes creativity, strengthens muscles, enhances social and emotional development, and makes learning fun. This book is packed with dozens of engaging and educational toddler activities that emphasize early learning and get kids excited about being outside.

Each chapter is devoted to a specific type of toddler-friendly play: messy play, active games, nature-based activities, water activities, and outdoor arts and crafts.

• Skill-building exercises―Help your little one build up important skills like problem-solving, mindfulness, shapes and letters, sorting, patterns, and many more.
• Activity tips and tricks―Find suggestions for making the most out of each activity and "Caution!" labels for exercises that require increased supervision.

Add more intentional play, meaningful connection, learning opportunities, and plain old fun to your toddler's days with help from The Outdoor Toddler Activity Book.

"As a toddler teacher, I have a handful of resources for learning activities, but there really isn't much available for toddler-friendly outdoor play and learning. I especially love how the activities include open-ended play and exploration along with gently guided learning. What a great resource for any toddler teacher or parent!"--Sheryl Cooper, Toddler Teacher, Founder of Teaching2and3YearOlds.com
