National Geographic Kids Get Outside Guide: All Things Adventure, Exploration, and Fun!

This is a great book for youngsters especially when you're self isolating. My daughter loves it.

The projects look like lots of fun for grownups and kids. There are lots of different places and things to do from one's own backyard in all seasons, cities in all seasons, to the park, the seashore, and deciduous forests. It shows how to make a telescope and a barometer. It talks about reptiles, shells, animal tracking and clouds. Highly recommend.

birthday gift for 9 year old boy - he LOVES it. Went right outside and made a sail. Keeps looking through it and finding fun things to do -and his mother loves it, too.

What a wonderful little book. My seven year old daughter loves the projects inside.

When I was approached to review some National Geographic Kids books, this book was the first one that caught my eyes from the ones offered. I immediately liked the cover and thought that would be perfect for the RV when we go camping. Turns out the book is perfect to entertain the kids everywhere we go – whether camping or in the backyard.This book contains many projects or ideas that they can do and learn during the warmer days. It contains fun facts, lists, and sidebars that will supplement the activities to help put information into geographic, scientific, and/or historical context. In a way it is a great book to encourage your kids to spend more time outdoors and explore their surroundings. There are five sections in the book – each containing numerous activities to do. The Let’s Get Wet section will offer activities to do near the water. The Journey Through the Trees will focus on everything that can be done with plants and the animals living in the forest. The Explore Your Backyard section will encourage your kids to be creative in their own backyard. The Nature Around Town section will allow your kids to discover nature in your city whether at the park or elsewhere. We are fortunate to have numerous green spaces in our city as well as lots of walking trails that we can go explore. Finally, the Let’s Go to the Park will offer activities to do in the parks whether in your town or in your province/state.Needless to say, when the book arrived in our home, my six year old daughter took it to check out the activities found in it. She quickly came to me to request some sticky notes in order to mark down some activities she wanted to do this summer. Her first picks are Make a Leaf or Bark Rubbing and Make Rock Art. For my part, I personally like the page titled Name that Shell as well as the activity to Make a Solar Oven (which I definitively intend to do with the kids this summer and cook some smores in it…).This book is definitively packed with fun activities which will spice up your summer time with your kids. I highly recommend it!

It's time to take our kid's minds, bodies and spirits back. Our kids are turning electronics into their passion and we need to show them that being outdoors, running, exploring, creating and observing nature with all it's complexities, beauty and splendour is very, very important to their health and well-being.This fabulous book is done in excellence as we have come to expect from National Geographic. It is full of magnificent photos, sidebars, fun tips, information and facts that will boost your child's knowledge and make him aware of the world around him. It is designed in such a fun, kid-friendly way that your child will want to dive into the book and will have no alternative but to learn interesting facts and then go forth and celebrate the great outdoors.The book has very cool ideas for adventures in forests, fields, on beaches, on playgrounds, in city parks, and right in your own back yard. I especially like that their are many suggestions and instructions to create crafts, engage in activities and above all discover the fascination of nature by taking the time to explore and engage in it. I highly, highly recommend this book.
