Today, kids are busier than ever, but many of their activities relegate them to a sedentary indoor existence that was unthinkable when their parents or grandparents were young. Produced by National Geographic, this fun-filled illustrated guide inspires children 9 to 12 to get outside and discover the wonder and amazement of the world around them, whether in their backyard, across the country, or around the world. With these year-round activities, kids will learn how to make a telescope, a solar oven, and a bird bath, as well as exploring their local state parks and participating in outdoor community events.
