How To Be An Explorer is the ultimate practical guide to outdoor skills and crafts, designed to coax kids away from their screens and discover how to become intrepid explorers.
Mountaineers, seafarers, astronauts, cyclists, hikers, divers, gliders, aviators - even the most famous and daring explorers of all time began with small-scale adventures that gave them the courage and the ideas to pursue their greatest achievements. This book aims to give young people the know-how and confidence to get out and about - with practical tasks and activities, mini-adventures, rustic crafts and by telling some truly inspiring tales of real-life explorers. Throughout, Tiger gives us snippets and anecdotes from his own daring expeditions.
Including step-by-step activities such as:
- How to light a fire
- Cooking on a fire
- Foraging
- Building shelters
- Filtering water
- Tying knots
- Reading the clouds
Children can learn basic bushcraft and survival techniques to practice repeatedly. The unique craft activities - making wild maps, a racing raft, and a kite - will spark creativity and encourage imaginative play.
Not just a valuable resource for learning practical skills, this is also a book to inspire dreams and show that they can come true with the right mindset, perseverance, and resilience. Highly illustrated spreads dotted through the book introduce a selection of real-life historical adventurers, such as Amelia Earhart and Matthew Henson, and describe how they came to accomplish such jaw-dropping feats.
- Outdoor skills and related crafts with step-by-step photos and instructions
- Illustrated feature spreads on real-life historical explorers who overcame great challenges
- Aimed at children aged 5-11
The book includes 290 photographs and 130 illustrations!!
