Filled with activities, checklists, and stickers, this interactive nature guide belongs in every kid’s backpack.

Each page is packed with prompts and activities, including 12 interactive field guides for identifying common trees, simple craft projects such as Make a Tree Rubbing or Make a Nature Mask from colorful leaves, and simple discovery features with fun tree facts.
