We like The Norfolk Coast by Jon Gibbs. || A joyous celebration of childhood and the great, wild outdoors, this book is packed with ideas to keep children busy... Open the doors, switch off the TV and push the kids outside! || So much more than an outdoors make-and-do manual. It's more of an imaginative invitation to enjoy nature. || Packed to bursting with wonderful photographs and simple instructions on how to make things using natural materials.Oxfordshire authors Fiona Danks and Jo Schofield have obviously had great fun in preparing the book. || Full of a welter of activities to get adults and children to really enjoy and explore the outdoors. The combination of practical skills, using what's to hand; creativity and imagination is most inspiring and I'm sure this book will be a boon for any-one who enjoys being in a group in the big outdoors. The book is sturdily produced on quality paper, stitched in the old fashioned way so that it opens flat, with lots of colour photos and clear instructions and explanations. A really beautiful book to own and use. || Another fantastic book in the series with inspiring pictures and ideas to encourage you to have a go at something new outside. || An absolute goldmine of creative activities that makes me want to get outside NOW and do it all.
