Play Wild

Play Wild encourages tamariki to develop a foraging mindset by making use of what they can find. This gorgeous book is jam-packed full of activities that only require a few materials, such as nature wristbands in which you need double-sided tape and then whatever you can find outside in leaf, flower or pebble form.

From twig crowns to tiny gardens, Matariki lanterns to using flowers to send a secret message, this pukapuka has something for everyone.

With a good mix of projects for children of all ages and attention spans, tamariki will learn about many of Aotearoa native plants along the way.
