Ready to unlock the magic of the woods with your kids? Forest Craft isn’t just a book; it’s an invitation to adventure! Imagine little hands safely guided by yours, transforming twigs and branches into treasures that spark hours of imaginative play. Richard Irvine, a true champion of outdoor exploration, gently leads you and your children on a journey to discover the wonders of your local trees – their unique personalities and the secrets they hold for crafting.
Get ready to embark on exciting projects like:
- Making your own buzzing kazoo and enchanting elder wand!
- Building miniature furniture for tiny woodland creatures.

Inside, you’ll find a friendly, no-nonsense guide to the essential tools and timbers, clearly showing you what works best for beginners (and what to avoid!). Every project unfolds with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions brought to life with helpful photographs and clever tips. And because safety always comes first, a dedicated chapter and gentle reminders throughout ensure worry-free fun under your watchful eye.
