A Fieldguide for Grandmas spending quality time with their grandchildren, 130 inspiring activities to do in nature, in the kitchen, and in the art room spark creativity and form a memorable bond. Over 100 delightful projects for grandmothers to do with grandchildren in nature, in the kitchen, in the garden, and in the art room. From making and baking in a solar oven, to growing a "kitchen garbage garden," to making a faerie house, every activity is geared toward kindling the creative spark and reconnecting kids to nature. As a grandmother of four, a naturalist, and advisor on designing children's gardens in Botanical Gardens throughout the country, Lovejoy brings a special hands-on expertise to this book. Rachel Carson wrote that "If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult to share it…" Sharon Lovejoy's writing inspires readers to be that adult to a child-and shows us how.
