Natural History Museum Nature Activity Book

A fun and educational outdoor activity book, ideal for green-fingered and nature-friendly families

Gardens, parks and woodlands are amazing places to explore and this handbook will inspire kids to investigate nature and lend a helping hand to the wildlife on their doorstep. You’ll find it packed with ingenious outdoor experiences and clever ways to enjoy the green spaces in and around your home, whatever the season.

Plant wildflowers and watch them grow, build a hedgehog house for spiky visitors and record the insects that roam in your garden or a nearby park using a homemade pitfall trap. Press flowers in your nature diary and sketch the birds that visit your garden, street or local park and feed on the apple bird-feeder you’ve learnt to make.

With more than 80 million specimens, the scope of the Museum’s collections is simply vast including the ill-fated dodo, dazzling diamonds and a full-size blue whale model. The Library of the Museum holds half a million artworks, comprising one of Britain’s biggest art collections, and over one million books, including rare, richly illustrated antique volumes.
