Description

The backyard has long been a space associated with recreation and relaxation, a private patch of earth to escape to, and a springboard for the imagination. In her signature style and drawing on her personal experience as a mother, gardener, and author, Amanda Thomsen encourages kids to create kingdoms of their own making, right in their own backyards. With whimsical projects for every season and any setting, from forest to pavement, fun-seeking kids and their families will rediscover the yard as a place for inspired play, using repurposed materials and existing features of outdoor spaces. Whether they're creating tiny gardens inhabited by action figures, weaving a secret hideaway out of a loom of twine and twigs, or setting sidewalk cracks on fire with Coffeemate, Backyard Adventure lets kids of all ages turn their yards into a place they can call their own. Turn the backyard into an adventure zone, with playful projects and plans for inspiring kids aged 6 to 10 to explore, imagine, and create their own fun. Permission to Play-Granted! Set kids loose and let their imaginations run wild with inspired ideas for self-directed play. Bolts, buckets, bubble wrap, and other everyday items become the building blocks of free-play fun. Kids are transformed into the independent masterminds of their own mud labs and confident kings and queens of their cardboard castles. Make exploding sidewalk chalk, bang on a wall of noise, fly high in a tire swing, launch amazing science experiments, perform on your own outdoor stage, build a straw bale fort, slip & slide on paint, weave through a yarn lazer maze!
