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.

Nature has monumental power on children’s growth and development. Recent studies show that as children spend less time in nature, they miss out on the profound benefits that outdoor play and learning experiences provide. Nature Sparks is filled with inspiration and instruction to help educators and caregivers of children ages three to eight reclaim and strengthen connections to the outdoors. This resource supplies ideas to create a nature-oriented classroom and curriculum, incorporates Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences to encourage children’s individual talents as they experience the natural world, and includes more than fifty sensory-integrated activities, crafts, and instructional strategies.

That children need nature for health and well-being is widely accepted, but what type of nature? Specifically, what type of nature is not only necessary but realistically available in the complex and rapidly changing worlds that children currently live in? This book examines child-nature definitions through two related concepts: the need for connecting to nature and the processes by which opportunities for such contact can be enhanced. It analyses the available nature from a scientific perspective of habitats, species and environments, together with the role of planning, to identify how children in cities can and do connect with nature. This book challenges the notion of a universal child and childhood by recognizing children’s diverse life worlds and experiences which guide them into different and complex ways of interacting with the natural world. Unfortunately not all children have the freedom to access the nature that is present in the cities where they live. This book addresses the challenge of designing biodiverse cities in which nature is readily accessible to children.

Children are inherently connected to nature and fascinated by living things; there is a significant body of research discussing the benefits of children interacting with nature on a regular basis. Due to a variety of factors, including increased academic pressures in schools, overscheduling of extracurricular activities, increased reliance on technology for entertainment, and fear of children being left alone outdoors, children are spending more time indoors than ever before in our history. Connection to nature and inspiring wonder are an integral part of the Montessori Philosophy and Method. The Montessori Method also stresses that immersion in nature is imperative for proper physical and psychological development. In Montessori classrooms, there is an intrinsic connection between nature and many of the primary materials. In an action research project with a class of 39 children ages 4-6, a Montessori guide studied ways to integrate nature exploration via a Montessori primary curriculum, inside and outside of the classroom. The guide incorporated daily outdoor exploration in or around the woods, seasonal nature-related activities, access to Montessori botany and zoology and materials, live insect and small animal observation opportunities, daily read alouds related to nature, and gardening in a greenhouse. Data was collected through two parent surveys, children's nature journals, photos of the children interacting with nature inside and outside, and anecdotal records. The research showed that by providing regular access to the outdoors along with multiple opportunities inside the classroom to explore nature and nature-related materials, the children became more connected with nature. For the future, the research suggests that increasing children's interactions with nature will influence environmentally responsible lifestyles and support children's development as young naturalists.
