On a very beautiful Friday afternoon we launched "Make it Wild" our 3rd book, alongside Natural England's "Let's go Wild" family activity programme.
More than 200 children and their families turned up to enjoy the sunshine and have a go at many of the activities from the book. They tested their design skills by making flying machines out of sticks and newspaper, made clay Boggart puppets, wind kites, willow and wool insects, moulded scary clay faces in the trees to surprise unsuspecting walkers, had a go at painting with natural pigments, made beautiful felt pictures, went on an adventure trail through the woods and ancient sunken ways on Aston Rowant's Nature reserve and ate lots of cake!
It was wonderful to see so many people, parents and children having such a wonderful time without a screen or bit of technology in sight!
Our thanks go to all the people who helped make it such a wonderful day.
