THIS IS ADORABLE! I absolutely plan on purchasing this once it is available, for both myself and friends. It is well researched, easy to understand, and so full of fun things to do! If you see this, get it.

This book will be such an amazing resource for summer camp. I cannot wait to try these activities with my students. They are fun, educational, and affordable.

First, many thanks to Netgalley and Storey Publishing for access to the digital ARC. I loved this title, I am always looking for titles to add in to my homeschooling resources, this one will certainly be added! This work is split up in to easy to pick from sections, using senses at the forefront. I can see these activities being appropriate for all children with proper supervision regardless of age. 50 different activities gives nearly a year full of weekly activity studies. I will cherish this title in my homeschooling regime. Exceptional! Beautiful!

I absolutely adore this. I am a huge advocate for learning how to be self sufficient. I do think it should be used, but also but fun, and easy to do. This book is perfect for parents if they decide to be hands on, or not. The visuals and step by step instructions help aid a child or parents to do each one. I love how it tells you the importance, teaches you about herbs as well. It is vibrant in colors, and SO many of them I used while teaching my kids. Elderberry DIY was a nice added touch, my kids loved the herbal popsicles, making kale chips, Flower crowns, edible ink! There is SO much more you can do in this book! I tested about 17 of the things in this book and have nothing but high praise!

I adored this book! Although it's intended for children, there are so many crafts inside that I would love to try as an adult. The illustrations are beautiful and the activities are the right balance of educational and fun. I will definitely be buying a copy for the little ones in my life when this is published. Thank you for the advance copy!

Herbal Activities for Kids is a delightful book with so many fun ideas when harvesting flowers and herbs. My children are 2, 5, and 7 and LOVE playing outside and collecting items from nature, including herbs. If I showed them this whole book, they would want do ALL of the things at once, so I must plan accordingly and choose a few a week. There are some functional uses for herbs included such as for healing and calming (recipes, teas, lip balm, room spray, etc). There are fun arts and crafts projects like a color wheel, mandala, wind chimes, pressed flowers, and my personal favorite- making a pen out of a twig and ink from berries. I love that this book encourages respect and appreciation for nature such as individual responsibility to prevent over-harvesting and one’s own personal history associated with herbalism. There are also fun and interesting facts about herbs and their uses throughout the book. I would highly recommend this book to ANY nature lovers. Thank you NetGalley and Storey Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this title.

The book is an absolutely beautiful delight. Though targeted towards kids I know many adults who would love to take part in the activities, recipes, and knowledge gaining housed in this book. This is a wonderful first book about Herbalism and the ways we can work with nature. It provides a load of information in digestible bits, as well as fun activities and recipes I can't wait to try. Sprinkled throughout are also beautiful poetry, and extra sustainability tips, like the foragers code of ethics.
Truly a delight.
