Trees & Me contains hundreds of ideas for fun, easy-to-do, hands-on experiences to connect young children to nature, with a focus on trees and forests. Through both outdoor and indoor activities, children explore nature through their five senses, experience trees throughout all four seasons, and connect with their community. The 12 hands-on Trees & Me activities are designed for families and teachers to use with children ages 1-6 in a range of settings, including preschools, childcare centers, and nature centers, at home, or with families and friends spending time together. Special instructions tailor many experiences to children under 3 years of age. Families and caregivers, childcare providers, and early childhood educators can easily adapt the activities as necessary to meet each child's unique needs, the environment where they live, and the materials available. Children learn concepts necessary to succeed in school, including age-appropriate literacy, math, and critical thinking skills. They make music, create things, and gain physical dexterity. They are empowered to work independently and in groups. Through dramatic play and skill practice, they explore careers which plants ideas for a child's future.What's more, research indicates that early exposure to nature and the outdoors improves emotional and physical well-being, enhances learning, promotes positive social behavior, and makes children more likely to care about their environment throughout their lives. Each activity contains background information for adults, preparation, materials, and time requirements, plus explicit connections with early learning standards in science, English language arts, math, and social studies, as well as programs such as NAEYC and Head Start. Art is integrated throughout every activity and STEM is practiced through ten essential skills, , effectively integrating the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and math. Each activity suggests concrete ways that families and friends can enhance the learning experience at home, including helping out in the community. The guide also provides reading and music suggestions, and valuable appendices, such as tested techniques for engaging early learners, tips for outdoor learning, bringing nature inside, and woodworking, that not only support the activities, but also serve as a resource in a range of situations.

As a child, my fondest memories were exploring in forests, playing in creek beds, finding groves of mushrooms, digging in the dirt, and building houses in trees. Our connections and interactions with nature as we grow, evolve and shape our bodies, personality, interests, and passions in life. Scientific research now shows how nature positively impacts our biology, mental health, learning and connections to the world and people around us. Research also shows a decline in children's health, learning, sense of self and creativity, that is correlated with the excessive use of technology, and reduced time spent outdoors playing. Now more than ever, we must believe in the importance of sharing the gifts of nature, and the love of nature with the world - so they will care for what is most important - the earth we live on, the nature of our planet, and our health and wellbeing. This book has been written to give teachers and parents, a solid foundation in the reasoning for nature connection, and a toolkit full of ideas, and tactics that will make nature connection with children, stimulating, educationally rewarding, and life-enriching for both the adult and the child. The book condenses the scientific research on technology, nature, and how they impact childhood development and learning. In a busy modern world that is ever changing, it is important that parents and teachers are up to date and armed with the most relevant knowledge, to deal with the culture, the world that we are in, the current challenges we face in science, education, and in the roles of parents, mentors and teachers. It is an easy to read, practical guide, that can help shape the way things are done in and out of the classroom, to stimulate the creation of solid foundations for our children's connection to nature to flourish. After all, children deserve to have a lifelong, loving and deep connection to the natural world around them so they can discover the magic of Life.

Field-tested across the country, this comprehensive curriculum expands and extends the role science has traditionally played in the early childhood classroom. The first in a new series, Discovering Nature with Young Children explores the wide-ranging elements that make up the natural world around us. The curriculum replaces simple fact-feeding practices with the development of long-term scientific reasoning, including literacy skills and numeracy skills, such as hypothesis, inference, prediction, and estimation. A companion to the curriculum, this trainer’s guide serves as an indispensable handbook for trainers and administrators interested in introducing staff to the curriculum—from planning to implementation. Special sections outline the curriculum and introduce scientific reasoning to adults, and eight workshops detail the complete curriculum for staff members. The guide also includes strategies for supporting teachers over time through mentoring and guided discussions.

Outdoor and Nature Play in Early Childhood Education is timely because of the new national and international research that reinforces the importance of outdoor play in the lives of children--for their health, wellness, dispositions, and connectedness to their childhood space and place. Outdoor play is so important to children's daily living that we have written this book to present the core concepts about outdoor play that will support teachers in collectively examining outdoor play within their environments and beyond. The text is rooted in the work of well-known theorists who have made invaluable contributions to early childhood education and who advocated for children to have access to play and learning outdoors. The text situates the discussion on the benefits of outdoor play and the breadth and depth of learning that occurs during outdoor play in a Canadian and local context.
