(Kindle edition is only $1.99!!)
I started reading this last night and wasn’t through the first chapter before I told Kit, “This is going to be a life changing book – I need to buy it.”
It’s such a simple premise – spend 15 minutes a day outside playing with your children. And there are stages of our life during which we’ve done that, but not consistently and not when it’s too cold, or too hot, or too wet. 🙂 But it struck me while starting this book that WE NEED TO BE DOING THIS. I checked this out from the library but it’s not a book you can read through and then return – you need to own it, because it literally has daily suggestions for outside activities for an entire year. Not super obvious ones, either, but wonderfully creative ideas. Go check it out!!
(It strikes me as a very Charlotte Mason approach.)
Update: You know how I love the Homeschool Blog? Kit read this post about 15 minutes outside and then emailed me something he just made:
I have the funniest husband ever.
My library doesn’t have this and I want to read it. Where can I find the kindle version for $2? I don’t often buy books but this one sounds worth it.
Unfortunately that was with Amazon (the $2) and their price has gone up. I’m sorry! I’ll bring our copy down for you to look through.
