This exciting new book in the 'Making the most of' series shows the value of outdoor as well as indoor learning environments. The book demonstrates how outdoor spaces, both in the setting and further afield, can add richness to the learning environment settings provide for very young children.

This book focuses on two aspects of the Foundation Stage curriculum area of Knowledge and Understanding of the World; a sense of time and place. The activities provide opportunities for children to develop their skills of communication, broaden their experience of different cultures and to develop positive attitudes to learning.

The Little Book of Living Things provides a range of ideas and activities to develop children's awareness of the world around them. The themes covered include plants and animals. Included are key points and facts of the important concepts which lie behind the organisation and classification of the living world.
