Children's play and learning in the natural playground. Digital E- book in english

This book is a revised and expanded version of the Norwegian book Endring med natur (Change with Nature), which we wrote in 2018. It is intended for those who wish to use nature as an active part of children’s development and learning. Drawing on a solid foundation of professional knowledge and practical experience, we show how nature can become an invaluable resource in pedagogical work with children.

The book offers insight into how you, as an adult, can create the conditions for meaningful and safe play in nature through conscious pedagogical choices. It describes not only how nature can be used, but also where you should be, what types of natural environments are best suited to different forms of play, experience, and development. You will find pedagogical guidance on how to support children’s own exploration, and how space, materials, and the unique qualities of nature itself can stimulate creativity, interaction, and a sense of mastery.

When you purchase this E- book, you will immediately receive a PDF file of the book, which you can download as many times as you like.
