So what is the perfect blueprint to the best childhood ever? What does it take to get children into the outdoors and curious about nature? Have you ever noticed how many different types of clouds you’ll see in the sky? How can you make a bee friendly garden? (hint: they love the colour purple!) What about kitchen crafts and science? Can you bring the outdoors in on a stormy day? Absolutely! Join Linda Drummond, author of How to Raise Outdoor Kids, with Play Australia’s Kieran Brophy, as she shares the Intrigue, curiosity-piquing of the outdoors and an action plan to do just that!
How to Raise Outdoor Kids features expert scientific opinion from astronomers, microbiologists, ornithologists and so many more. We know kids have heaps of questions, so there’s plenty of answers within the pages, and fuel for many, many more, but on this occasion, join us for an afternoon chat and source some inspiration to inject into the childhoods of those little ones around us.
