Unplug from technology and plug in to nature through the wonder of your senses.

The Book of Nature Connection is packed with fun activities for using all our senses to engage with nature in a deep and nourishing way.

From "extenda-ears" and acorn whistles to bird calls, camouflage games, and scent scavenger hunts, enjoy over 70 diverse, engaging, sensory activities for all ages that promote mindfulness and nature connection.

With activities grouped by the main sensesβ€”hearing, sight, smell, touch, and tasteβ€”plus sensory walks and group games, The Book of Nature Connection is both a powerful learning toolkit and the cure for sensory anaesthesia brought on by screen time and lives lived indoors.

Whisper with birds, be dazzled by nature's kaleidoscope of colours, taste the freshness of each season, learn to savour the scented world of evergreens, hug a tree and feel the bark against your cheek. Spending time in nature with all senses tuned and primed helps us feel like we belong to the natural worldβ€”and in belonging, we come to feel more connected, nourished, and alive.

Ideal for educators, camp and youth leaders, caregivers and parents, and anyone looking to reconnect and become a nature sommelier!
