MY THOUGHTS.....

In today's society, it's very easy for children to depend on cable television, social media, and YouTube for their entertainment. This doesn't have to be! Author Greta Eskridge has joined with illustrator Emily Paik to create a book that deserves to be used again and again. There are 100 ideas in 100 Days of Adventure, and these suggestions are for projects that can be done during one of the four seasons. Some are simple and need no advance planning, and others will take some work, but all of them are guaranteed F-U-N. Some projects are costly but most of them are for families on a budget, such as hiking, rock collecting, a nature scavenger hunt, and painting snow with food coloring. Doing them as a family will create priceless memories, and best of all, children will be learning while they're having fun!

My eight-year-old granddaughter begins her summer vacation in a few weeks so I'm thrilled that this book is available. The illustrations are perfect, the directions are easy to understand, and there are projects for every age group, including adults! Do yourself a favor and grab a copy of 100 Days of Adventure: Nature Activities, Creative Projects, and Field Trips for Every Season. It will be some of the best money you've ever spent because this book is an absolute treasure trove of fun and educational projects!

I received a copy of this book from FrontGate Media. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
