Feature Friday is a new series I’ll be running on Fridays. I have so many great books to tell you about, and they are piling up in my reading room. Unfortunately, there is not enough time in my day to share them all. I’m starting a new feature on my social media channels where I’ll share a quick video review of a few books, including children’s, middle-grade, young adult, or adult fiction and nonfiction.
Clicking the photo of the books or items will take you to its Amazon listing. I may receive a small commission if you purchase through any of my links. Thanks to the publisher for the gifted copy.

Activity Book
Encourage your child’s imagination by sending them outside to search for fairies, make a picnic for elves, hide in a secret fort, and more. This book offers numerous ways for kids to explore in nature using their creativity and imagination. Find an acorn cap? Make it into a tiny twig folk. Take twigs, leaves, and stones and make a gnome home.
Each activity builds a certain skill set for your child such as planning, designing, patience, recipe reading, mapping, recording, and more. This spring send your child outside in search of a fairy clock, or dandelion as we know it. Because the dandelion opens with the sun and closes when the sun goes down, folk tales say that fairies keep track of time using dandelions as clocks. Once your child learns about the dandelion, then they can pick some and make dandelion tea with the recipe in the book.
There are numerous other activities that will spark your child’s imagination and creativity all while building skills to make them better thinkers. Your child will begin to notice things in nature that they might have ignored before. Plus, maybe they will get a surprise visit by a fairy or gnome.
Fill your child’s Easter basket with the Top Ten Tools needed for a Forest Magic search and this book and their summer will be full of outdoor fun.
