Dear Foragers, Firstly, thank you for signing up to receive this special foraging activity pack. I have put this together with my wonderful publisher, Watkins, especially for the lovely and much-valued independent book sellers and libraries who have been a constant source of support to me on my journey as an author. I’ve been teaching people how to forage for years, and my very favourite thing is taking children and their parents, guardians and teachers out to learn together about plants and fungi. That’s why I wrote Foraging with Kids, and I do hope you grow to share this passion as you work your way through the book! The activities in this pack are designed to help you set up your own foraging event, or even a series of events – as we will be releasing a new activity sheet for each season to keep you foraging all year long! The information and activities included here will equip you with all the skills needed to get you and the children who attend your event started with foraging so that you will all be confident about the rest of the plants in the book.
This exclusive pack includes all you need to set up your own foraging event: • A guide for parents, group leaders and carers on how to go foraging, foraging etiquette and advice on safe foraging. • A fun activity sheet based on an exerpt from Foraging with Kids that will help you find and recognise blackberries, as well as a recipe for the children to make with their finds at home. • A drawing or colouring exercise and a set of pencils. • A foraging calendar to help you see what other plants from the book will be in season when you are on your forage. • Some special Foraging with Kids stickers To watch an exclusive sneak peek of me foraging with kids, scan the QR below and let us know if you are interested in having your own personalised version prepared by us to help promote your event. If you would like your own video, please contact Lucia Garavaglia at Watkins Publishing on 020 3813 6940 or lucia.garavaglia@ watkinspublishing.com
I do hope that you enjoy working through this pack and that it helps you all on your journey towards becoming foragers!
