    I love "Bringing The Outside In: Ideas for Creating Nature-Based Classroom Experiences for Young Children" by Sandra Duncan and Jody Martin.

    Hi Agnes, 

    There are so many awesome nature resource books out there. I'm a huge nature advocate for children.  Whenever possible, I would take the children outside to get some fresh air. I do yoga and meditation on the grass. Please email me if you need ideas. I would love to help you.

    A few books I would recommend for you to start with would be... 'A Little Bit of Dirt 55+ Science and Art Activities to Reconnect Children with Nature' by Asia Citro, MEd. The second book is 'The Stick Book' loads of things you can make or do with a stick. By Jo Schofield and Fiona Danks.

    Never stop exploring!
