Growing Up WILD is an early childhood education program that builds on children's sense of wonder about nature and invites them to explore wildlife and the world around them. Through a wide range of activities and experiences, Growing Up WILD provides an early foundation for developing positive impressions about the natural world and lifelong social and academic skills. The activity guide, "Growing Up WILD: Exploring Nature with Young Children," is written especially for early childhood educators of children ages 3-7. It features 27 field-tested, hands-on, nature-based, ready-made thematic units and more than 400 experiences in a full-color activity guide. You will have what you need to get started with outdoor exploration! The $50 session materials fee covers the cost of the activity guide and a field investigation starter kit.
