Crunch This Nature Book!: A Wild Outdoor Journal with 45 Activities
 
Crunch This Nature Book!: A Wild Outdoor Journal with 45 ActivitiesRiley LeePaperbackForget about keeping this book clean. It’s time to get messy―with nature! This book is a total mess―and that’s the fun of it. This Book Will Get Messy: Nature is an interactive journal for adventurous kids ages 6–11 who want to get their hands dirty and their imaginations fired up. Instead of telling children to stay neat, it gives them full permission to crumple pages, stomp with muddy shoes, rub bark, tape down treasures, or even leave berry stains that splatter across the paper. Every mark and smear becomes part of a living, one-of-a-kind creation. Organized into five themes―Observe & Collect, Touch & Texture, Build & Create, Move & Play, and Reflect & Invent―this book guides kids through 45 outdoor prompts. Activities include taping down crunchy leaves, sketching fast-moving animals, creating camouflage patterns, chasing shadows, and writing goodbye letters to litter. Each page blends fun with a touch of stealth learning, encouraging observation, reflection, and creative risk-taking. Designed for families, classrooms, camps, and kids who love exploring, this book transforms everyday outdoor time into a playful, creative adventure. It doesn’t require glitter or fancy supplies―just imagination, dirt, and the thrill of getting messy. The first in a new series from SkyTree Book Fairs and Bushel & Peck Books, This Book Will Get Messy celebrates curiosity, courage, and creativity―one mess at a time.

Splatter This Art Book is designed for wild-hearted makers ages 7-10 who crave creativity without rules.

Organized into five themes―Scribble & Doodle, Smudge & Splatter, Cut & Collage, Print & Press, and Big Art Energy―the book is packed with 45 activities that invite kids to try bold techniques. One day they might create a fingerprint frenzy, build torn-paper portraits, or tilt the book to race splatters down a page. The next, they could be smashing crayons sideways, pressing bubble wrap into paint, or covering a spread in giant group graffiti. Every smear, fold, and splash turns this book into something different for every child. With a voice that cheers on experimentation and a format that welcomes mess, it empowers kids to see art as a living, personal adventure.
