Awesome ideas for getting outdoors, full of many unique activities
I haven't read this book yet from front to back, but I did hop around and review some areas of it. This book has some really cool ideas in it, I found some stuff that I would never have thought of and also some stuff that I would use a tweak to make it our own. I have no issues with the warmer months, but it is the cold months that we struggle with getting outside. There are a large number of cold month activities that we will plan for. The book is definitely a great one for getting outside.

I follow the 1000 Hours Outside movement via Instagram and was so happy to finally have the book in my hands! The photos, pages, layout and feel of the book is just gorgeous! The ideas are practical, creative and fun! Love that there are ideas for all ages, and seasons! Will be definitely implementing many of these in teh coming months to match our "screen time with green time"! Parents/Grandparents/Caregivers, get this book - you and your kids will love it!

Very Neat Resource for Bonding with kids 3-13 years old
A number of inexpensive and creative activities to help parents bond with their kids while outdoors (and some for indoors too.) Activities are organized by season. 10+ ideas for every chapter- the book is about 280 pages long. Would buy again.

So inspiring!
Amazing ideas to get outside and embrace nature! I am obsessed with the 1000 Hours Outside podcast, and am so happy that I got this book! There are ideas for every season- and they don’t take a ton of materials and aren’t overly complicated! I’m determined to spend as much time outside with my toddler and this book is so so helpful! Highly recommend!

Never bored outside!
I absolutely love Ginny’s podcast so when I saw this book I knew I had to get it. It is divided into four sections: summer, fall, winter, and summer. This makes it easy to find exactly what activities are appropriate for my LO and I. I live far away from playgrounds but we have a wooded area and this book helped me get more creative about how to use the space and help my LO have fun outside!

Amazing family resource
In a world of increasing screen time, it feels harder and harder to keep my kids engaged outside. But this book has been such a fantastic resource for our kids!! It's given us ideas to get outside without having to come up with them all ourselves. We've even let them pick some out themselves, which gives them some ownership over the activity. Highly recommend!

Great ideas and inspiration!
This book is packed full of great ideas to do outdoors with kids of all ages. The pictures are beautiful and make you want to do it all at once! I also really loved the little tips and facts throughout the book - they were motivating and put into perspective why it’s so important to get outside! I accidentally bought 3 copies (because I was so excited to order I added it to my cart 3 separate times) and I’m so happy I did - one for my sister now and one as a teacher gift (makes the PERFECT teacher gift!!!)

Best master spine EVER
this book has leap frogged us into a whole world of transformation, this summer. The follow on instagram and podcasts are a real focus now to continue learning with me and I’m learning so much from all the related people who speak to Ginny , on the show. What a gem this book is for opening up wonderful, child led, and health focused ways to exist , as a conscious parent. Thank you
