Stefanie Pfister is a craft professional living in Germany. She works for a bestselling craft magazine.
'This inspiring book for parents and teachers working with children
from four upwards, is packed with indoor and outdoor crafts and
activities. It encourages an exploration of nature, from streams
and moss, to butterflies and dandelions. It encourages children to
explore the natural world through play and creation, and includes
many ideas of summer games such as hopscotch. I enjoyed the many
ideas for building dens - whether sunshades, wigwams or little
houses for bugs. It is full of photos and clear illustrations.'
