Description
This truly unique book contains prompts for all kinds of creative activity based around the natural world around us, from drawing to writing to mixed-media collage.
Readers will be encouraged to draw on their creativity, to express themselves without fear of being judged, and to make their book really WILD!
They will need scissors, pens, paints, tape, glue and a magnifying glass, plus lots of wild materials and their wildest creativity, as this book becomes filled with keepsakes from their own outdoor adventures.
From finding the faces hidden in pictures of trees, to collecting ingredients for a spell to keep nature safe, to sticking the feathers back onto a mythical bird, these prompts and activities will provide hours and hours of entertainment as they take children on flights of fantasy through the natural world.
Readers can colour outside the lines, do the activities in any order and go at their own pace.
The mixture of art, creative writing, collecting, games, wildlife-watching and imaginative prompts will appeal to kids with all kinds of interests, and there are no rules!

Make This Book Wild is a fun interactive scrapbook for kids of all ages to fill with treasures and drawings while out in nature. The fun illustrations and fonts on each page are eye catching and engaging, making you want to look on and search for what your next scrapbook adventure will be. This will be a great gift for any nature loving kid or family.
As a parent who tries to achieve as much nature time as possible in hopes of raising a productive and healthy child -- I couldn't have asked for a more FUN and ENCHANTING book.
The illustrations are beautiful and paired with whimsical writings, this book is a mini-adventure for any child. I loved the thoughtfulness that goes into the introductory pages and that it explains the importance of staying safe but also the duty we have to respecting the nature and wildlife around us. That's an important lesson that a lot of children miss out on.
Jumping into the activities - this book has everything from fairy warriors and dragon hunts to rain painting and shell collecting. Each page opens the imagination to so many new things - from the tiny and beautiful aspects of nature to learning about yourself and truly seeing things in a different light.
My favorite part? That this book is also a journal for the child to document their time in nature.
I strongly recommend this to ALL parents. While I'm fortunate to have a child who loves nature as much as I do, I think this book could get even the couch potatoes outside and having fun.
What a great book for kids and one that will get them outdoors to explore and discover. The idea is to take this book along; no worries about its getting grubby as that is the idea. Fill it with all sorts of thoughts and things relating to nature.
The book opens with an introduction of how to use this one and then goes on to many short sections. Some of these include Searching for Rainbows, Shell collecting, Dragon hunt, Eyes on the trees, Tiny treasures, Leaf printing, Garden goblins, Cloud gazing, and Bee friendly, along with many more. All in all, the perfect companion and encouragement to get out and enjoy the natural world.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this engaging and beautifully illustrated title. All opinions are my own.
This title will be published on 12 April 22.
My son loved doing the activities in this book. It was a chance to learn yet relax all at the same time. Great resource for the younger kids that need to do an activity while they learn.
This is a book that I will be gifting without a doubt. Make This Book Wild allows you to make this book yours, with the importance of nature and being outdoors, you can enjoy this book in a variety of ways and year-round. Fiona Danks and Jo Schofield have created a book that makes being outdoors fun again, interesting, and a learning experience, it is inclusive so everyone in the family can enjoy partaking in making this book wild.
I loved this book so much that I immediately preordered a copy. My nieces will adore it. The projects are fun, absolutely free with their creativity, and the book is just beautifully put together. It's like a pocket adventure for the imagination.
This is the exact kind of book I wish I'd had as a child, and I can't wait to sing its praises and recommend it to everyone I meet.
This is such a fun book that kids will really enjoy. It plays into the natural curiosity and imagination of children with fun activities to do either outdoors or with items collected while outside. I will be purchasing a copy for my classroom, as well as for each of my grandkids.
