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!

This is a sweet herbal book for young children with a range of mostly very simple ways to connect with herbs through activities like sprouting, making nature mandalas, drawing with blackberry ink, starting elderberry cuttings, making herbal oxymels, making a flower press, writing nature poetry, making flower ice cubes, and so on. I loved the diversity of the people who contributed projects. Colorful illustrations accompany each one, with occasional photos. Best suited for younger children, though a few are more appropriate for older kids like making plant paper with soda ash. It also includes good basic information for kids about herbs and how they work.

I read a temporary digital copy of this book via NetGalley.

This is a beautiful book and really enjoyable to browse and read but a bit disappointing when it comes to the activities. We couldn’t find anything in it that we could do immediately without going to the shop first to buy some sort of crafting materials (some of which I’m not even sure where we would buy). The children found this frustrating as each thing would take planning and a trip to the shops beforehand, nothing could be done impromptu (and these sorts of activities end up costing a lot!).

Really lovely looking book but not ideal for impatient youngsters and not wholly accessible for everyone.

Herbal Activities for Kids :50 Nature Crafts, Recipes, and Garden Projects. This is an excellent book for getting children back into nature and in the great outdoors. Some excellent activities and learning opportunities, so the book would be a good resource for teachers and parents alike. The illustrations are lovely and the instructions clear and easy to follow. A good book to refer to again and again. Children will love it.

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.
