I can't tell you how much I loved this book! It was so wonderful and the illustrations are lovely! Angela Ferraro - Fanning and AnneliesDraws did a great job and I hope they do more Little Homesteader books for the other seasons. The recipes are easy to follow and will keep young children engaged. I can't wait to purchase copies of Little Homesteader: A Winter Treasury of Recipes, Crafts, and Wisdom for myself and our library.

Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Ivy Kids for this ARC!

This was a super cute children's book about what to do for fun in the winter time. The activities include making hot cocoa, tracking animals, composting, and more! My favorite activity was making maple syrup or syrup from sap of other tree species. I had no idea that you can make syrup from a variety of trees! I would totally buy this, if only I knew any children to give it to.

This is a super cute children's craft and activity book for the winter season. This is perfect for a home school child or just as a book for family winter activities. Children and their parents/caregivers can learn together as they read and/or do the activities. As a suburban mom who enjoys learning these types of skills and sharing them with my own children, I know that this book will be enjoyed by those who live in rural, suburban and urban areas. There is something for everyone to try and something for everyone to learn about. I also love the diverse depictions of the children. This book teaches a lot of sustainable living activities that are a nice break from screen time. Also, I can't wait to test out the Frozen Cocoa recipe!

This is such a sweet book with so many beautiful illustrations! It has practical information like how to grow a citrus tree, how to tap a tree for sap, and how to make three different hot chocolates. I’m looking forward to the printed version of this so my family can snuggle around it and plan some fun adventures together during the winter. Loved this little book!

This winter treasury of recipes, crafts, and wisdom is the perfect way to keep your family busy this holiday season!

Paired with cute illustrations, there are recipes for cocoa, homemade bread, candied oranges, and more, with fun activities such as salt dough ornaments or solstice lanterns mixed in. You can learn how to tap a tree, which trees to tap, and how to make candy from the syrup. There's also a few pages that focus on winter gardening, animals and their tracks, and different types of evergreens!

This book is a great resource for families looking for more hands-on activities to keep them occupied during the long winter days stuck inside. With a little supervision and help, these activities and recipes can be fun at almost any age and can even make great homemade gifts for the holidays!

A perfect book to curl up with on those cold winter days. Beautifully illustrated, this book shares the love of winter by offering nature facts, recipes, craft ideas, and other fun seasonal activities and knowledge from an accessible homesteading perspective -- but even city dwellers will get a lot out of the ideas here. The writing has a cozy tone which, combined with the gorgeous artwork, is sure to warm hearts and inspire readers to appreciate and embrace the winter season. Highly recommended for general library purchase.

Little Homesteader is a wonderful activity book full of thoughtful and accessible recipes, projects and things to do for young children. What a beautifully written and illustrated book that almost all children will be enchanted by. Everything is simple and close to nature, encouraging children to tune into the season. Even though it is USA targeted it would be globally loved. Excellent.

This is such a beautifully illustrated book and it would make a fantastic gift for the young reader in your life. It is chock full of ideas for wintertime, like various hot cocoa recipes to make, instructions for a citrus garland, and regrowing kitchen scraps. Even as an adult, I enjoyed reading through it, and I would look forward to sharing it with my kids and picking some fun activities to do together.

This book is hands down the most PRECIOUS book I’ve seen all year. I cannot wait for it to actually hit shelves because I’ll be buying it! The illustrations are unlawfully adorable. It has step by step instructions for fun and simple, but creative, activities for the season. And it’s just so Hygge I can barely handle it!
If you have kiddos, definitely look for this when it comes out. Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me the pleasure of viewing a sample early!

A Winter Treasury of Recipes, Crafts, and Wisdom is a great winter-themed book for kids, filled with recipes, crafts, and information about animals and nature. This book is absolutely adorable and perfect for anyone looking to do some fun crafts with young ones over the winter. This book was so cute, it almost makes me wish winter could come sooner!

If you are looking for a bright-colored, cute, and easy to do crafts to do with your children or any child of your family or friends.

All of the cute little illustrations made this book such a holiday treat to read and hopefully I will be able to do at least two of these arts and crafts with my nephew. Having all the details/instructions written but also with illustrations made it easy on the eyes and understandable. The crafts ideas are a great way to come together and create new traditions and memories.

This is a sweet little book for kids stuck indoors during the long cold months of winter. It features recipes for hot drinks, maple syrup sweets, breads and salt dough, plus nature crafts and some outdoorsy skills like studying animal tracks and identifying trees in the depths of winter. It even goes into tapping trees for syrup (and which trees are tastiest) (note for Southern hemisphere readers - don't do this)!

All of the ideas are simple, old-fasioned, down-to-earth ideas designed to keep kids off screens and engaging with their surroundings again. From using kitchen scraps to regrow plants or make compost to learning about hibernation or learning to knit, this book covers a wide range of topics.

Aimed at younger readers (6-9 or thereabouts), this is a lovely book to help families while away the winter hours.

NOTE: Much of the content requires adult involvement.

~~Many thanks to NetGalley for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review~~

This is an adorable book. I'm actually sort of looking forward to winter to try some of these activities with my kids now! The illustrations are cute and colorful, and the activities are varied enough that you're sure to find something that everybody will enjoy. The educational aspect is nice as well!

This book is a great activity book for children in the winter. It includes winter recipes like breads and hot chocolate, finger knitting, pine cone bird feeder and more. The art style is great and wintery. Crafty kids will love this!

Thank you to netgalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review!

Little Homesteader is a delightful treasury of activities and information perfect for winter! Each page has adorable illustrations with recipes, crafts, and activities. It encourages children to explore outside in winter. I would recommend this for early elementary school aged children who live in a more rural setting or have access to nearby woods. This would make a wonderful holiday gift!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

This is an adorable book. The illustrations are totally charming and the activities are the perfect combination of interesting and engaging for children, without requiring a shopping list as long as your arm or an excessive amount of prep/clearing up for parents. It really does hark back to a simpler time of home made decorations throughout the autumn and winter, and I cannot wait to try some of them with my children.

I absolutely loved this book. It is filled with the sweetest ideas for winter activities to do at home. The illustrated instructions are wonderful for my small children who can’t yet read and for my older who loves a visual example.

This was a huge hit in our house! The illustrations are absolutely adorable. There are very fun yet easy crafts that can be done by older kids without intervention just supervision. I’m very happy with this!

I’m a stay at home mom and we love doing crafts this book had great ones for winter . I recommend to anyone from wanting to do small crafts with little kids to even elementary school age . Super easy crafts we have already done a few can wait to do more from this book . Would be even perfect for like a snow day book to do crafts to keep kids busy.

Little Homesteader: A Winter Treasury of Recipes, Crafts and Wisdom is such a beautifully-illustrated book for our young readers! This book will inspire little boys and girls alike to be present with nature during the winter season in order to give a whirl at the various activities included from learning to spot animal tracks, foraging for a foliage wreath, and making homemade bread with stenciled garnishes!
I love how the author included illustrated lists of items you will need as well as directions. Each activity is practical and does not require a lot of extra fancy items either! I know our children will enjoy this one during the holiday and winter season for sure!
