I got this for my 10-year-old son, and he absolutely loves the book. I keep hearing facts and tips about cooking, hunting, and fishing from him. Now, I get requests for squirrel noodle soup about every week. My only complaint is that it has made him an expert on hunting and fishing, giving me yet another critic on the lake and in the field.
Great supplement to homeschooling or just a sweet ideas book. Alot of the stuff in here you probably know about - but having a nice reference to go back to when you are looking for inspiration is well worth this price!
We've already been going through the projects. I might of jumped the gun a little bit and started doing them with my 5 year old girl. She's having a blast building and getting outside with me.
A great assortment of activities for the kids. Engaging and Entertaining for the whole Family. Brings teaching moments/ purpose to our outdoor adventures. Instead of it being me ""hey let me show you something it's ""Dad can we do THIS?!?!!""
Order this book! When you get it: put gown your phone and go outside with your kids. Enjoy and make some cherished memories and fun adventures in nature! It's great! We love it!
