Lens on Outdoor Learning

The outdoors is filled with rich learning experiences for young children. Packed with colourful photographs and detailed stories about children exploring and experiencing nature, Lens on Outdoor Learning will inspire you to facilitate and encourage children's learning as they spend time in nature. Each story describes how children naturally explore and create their own learning experiences outdoors. Using images, children's dialogue and actions, you will see how the natural world supports joyful and meaningful learning that connects to the approaches to learning standards.

"This book will inspire you to throw open your doors and head outside with your children to jump in puddles, crunch leaves, find worms, and sniff flowers—all with the knowledge that you are helping to spark a deep sense of wonder at the mysteries and beauty of life."
Rusty Keeler, author of Natural Playscapes: Creating Outdoor Play Environments for the Soul

"Lens on Outdoor Learning is a terrific resource for teachers and parents who want to enrich young and curious minds, and their own minds too."

Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder
