"The ultimate antidote to screen time: outdoor play with your kids! The activities are designed to help children to get a sense of their place in nature and understand what they can to do help protect it. For air, make kites and whistles out of sticks, or learn to how to predict the weather by reading the clouds. For fire, build a rocket stove, trace the sun's path with a homemade sun dial, or craft a collecting basket, fill it with firewood and then make a fire. For earth, make a mud slide, try mud painting on cloth or sculpt a forest troll. For water, make natural dye and potions, or build dams in a stream to see how the water course changes. [Jane Worroll is a qualified level 3 'Forest school' leader, running her own London-based 'Forest school.' ; Peter Houghton is an artist and a master woodcarver]."

Houghton, Peter (Teacher)
