Wild Things (Lonely Planet Kids)

This book is great for stirring up imaginative play. The pictures are great!! My book did not come in damaged but you can tell the spine of the book is weak and will not hold up to a lot of wear but the quality of the pictures and pages are great. Some customers have stated that the pictures are scary but if your child is into fantasy at all then I doubt they will find any of it scary. Great Book!!!

I wrote a review of this book and it wasn’t accepted, not sure why, but I’ll write a second one. This book is so beautiful and amazing and every parent of a wildling, homeschool, unschooled, nature loving kid should have this book on their shelf. We made masks from a tutorial in the book and apparently they weren’t appropriate to share with the review but the book is totally and absolutely a must for your collection. Buy it and come back and tell me how much you love it :).

Love this book. It's great for inspiring kids to observe nature more closely and be creative in their adventuring. The pictures are gorgeous, the ideas are just enough instruction without dictating what kids should do. It contains some winter activities as well as warm weather ones. My 6 year old has already been inspired so many times by this. Looking forward to years of fun with this book.

I love this book so much! If I could rate it higher than a 5 I would. If you and your family love fairy tales, make believe and magic you will have so much fun with this book. So many ideas for some wonderfully creative things to do outside while honoring the plants, animals and planet. Honestly, it's just wonderful.

The book itself is awesome, but arrived horribly damaged that it has to be returned. The spine was damaged which was the worst part of the damage, pages were all bent in the corner throughout the book. The spine damage makes it pretty unusable. I'm shocked that the seller would send this out in this condition. I will buy another and try again though because the ideas are fun and simply magical! The ideas in the book are fun and whimsical and for all seasons. A lot of the ideas you may have to go somewhere to explore like a forest or national park if you dont live in a natural area. But some you can do at home from the store like BlackBerry dragons blood or making monster prints in your back yard. So there is a variety. But this would be a fun camping companion! EDIT: Ordered a 2nd copy which came in perfect condition. And am in love with the ideas from the book.

Enjoyed this set of brain starters. If you have young people in your life this is a great interactivity idea book. Remind kids that are looking at this book that they should let their imagination run free. Nature is extra magic because it be never duplicates its self. Thanks loved the activities♥♥♠♣♦🌟🌠💥🎣🗿🌞🌌🌎 ADVENTURE

This is an amazing book! If your children love the outdoors, even better. The authors’ creativity is outstanding and there are so many fun and magical ideas and projects to consider and try. I highly recommend it. Also, the photos are great.

If you're looking for magic around you to show your kids, buy this book. It reminds me a lot of my childhood. And it is awesome to go explore with your kids. Even the trolls part, was not scary for my kids! They were curious to know more about it and used more their imagination whenever we go explore. A++++++ book!

Packed with wonderful ideas for creative play. I leave it out for my children to dip into and see the evolution of the ideas on the pages into their own imaginative creations.

I love this book so much. So many awesome activities for kids. I purchased this for nieces and nephews and my friends kids. They loved it! So many ideas to keep their imaginations going!

Great quick go to book for ideas. Beautifully illustrated with some lovely activities Some original, some not, some ideas taken from their other great books, some easily found on the internet. I find this book handy for a quick reference if you don't want to trawl the internet. I like how the book is sectioned in to themes such as mythical creatures, elves and fairies with (simple) ideas to make magical outdoor experiences with children. I work outdoors a lot and recently used some of these ideas for looking for signs of dragons in the woods. I'd never thought to look at where dragons might have scratched their nails on the bark (although we'd searched for stony dragon eggs before I bought this book). Such a simple idea yet I'd never thought to do it. Children were really inspired to look for more signs of dragons and I never thought to actually turn whole fallen trees in to dragons by adding stones stuck on with clay to make teeth. We usually just make faces on trees with clay. So, this book really gets you thinking about doing things a different way, to what you might do normally. Originally, I was going to give it a 4 because I didn't feel many of the ideas were original or that I hadn't thought of them or used them before but I really liked how the writers had extended these ideas so you can take them further and not just say- oh look, that tree looks like a dragon. I can now say, that tree looks like a dragon, lets make it look even more like a dragon by sticking some stone teeth on it with clay! This would be a great book for people with little or no experience of making playing outdoors more fun. but it's also not bad for the more experienced outdoor practitioner either, who may be looking to refresh some outdoor topics or themes that you may have done many times over. The more I read this book, the more I like it and discover things I hadn't noticed before.

Libro molto carino, sia le foto che le attività proposte. C’è solo in lingua inglese ma è di facile comprensione

Pretty decent collection ideas with a nice array or photos. I'm not sure if it was worth the price point as many of the 100 things are quite simple, but it has been fun to work through.
