Little Homesteader: A Winter Treasury of Recipes, Crafts and Wisdom is such a beautifully-illustrated book for our young readers! This book will inspire little boys and girls alike to be present with nature during the winter season in order to give a whirl at the various activities included from learning to spot animal tracks, foraging for a foliage wreath, and making homemade bread with stenciled garnishes!
I love how the author included illustrated lists of items you will need as well as directions. Each activity is practical and does not require a lot of extra fancy items either! I know our children will enjoy this one during the holiday and winter season for sure!

A Winter Treasury of Recipes, Crafts, and Wisdom is a very sweet picture book, complete with not only recipes and projects, but also winter science. All three are woven together beautifully to make a book that any parent and child will enjoy together. Some of the recipes and crafts included are:
hot cocoa
pinecone bird feeders
homemade bread
finger knitting
candied orange slices
and more!
Additionally, this book speaks to the science of the season, including how to spot animal tracks, bird's nesting habits, evergreen trees, etc. All with these delightful illustrations that evoke a sense of wonder and comfort.

This winter book truly is a treasure and I can't wait to delve into some of the projects with my kiddos.

How cute is this!? With winter on our heels, this is a perfect way to involve the kids and make fun memories. Here is on of the adorable recipes included in the book. And these graphics! 😍

I can not wait to get a physical copy of this book! The recipes and crafts inside of it are absolutely perfect if you are looking to dip your toes into the world of Waldorf learning. My five year old is so excited to make and do these activities over the next couple months with the fall/ winter just starting where we live. We have gone through the book a couple times already making a list of which ones she wants to do first. We are planning on slowly working through them on the weekends as a family. I was surprised that even my husband is looking forward to a couple of them, but I really think he just wants to eat the candied orange slices.

This is a cute and short book with winter activities you can do with your little ones: from hot drinks and dried fruits crafts paintbrushes and bird feeders. The illustrations are inviting and the instructions are easy to follow.
It would be a welcome christmas gift!

Thanks to NetGalley, Angela Ferraro-Fanning and Ivy Kids for the opportunity to read this book.

Little Homesteader: A Winter Treasury of Recipes, Crafts, and Wisdom by Angela Ferraro-Fanning was a delightful wintertime treat to read. Adorably illustrated throughout, winter themed crafts and activities, and recipes while educating youth on incorporating nature and using low to zero waste options to make something new.

I loved this & would recommend for little ones from preschool to middle-grade. This would also be perfect for homeschooling during the winter months. Thank you to NetGalley for the digital ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.

Little Homesteader is full of many great, simple and inexpensive DIY crafts that are perfect for the winter months. I can hardly wait to try some of them!
The thing I liked most about this book, though, is that it shared interesting information as well. For example, I had no idea trees other than maples could be tapped for sap! Also, the information on hibernation and brumation was fascinating. In fact, I had never heard the term brumation until I read this book. I had to pull out the dictionary just to double check that the term was real. (It is.)
I think many of my library children and their parents will love reading Little Homesteader and doing the crafts together.
Thank you NetGalley for a chance to read a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Sweet book full of delicious treats, uplifting faces and just the right touch of comfort. This is fantastic for traditional and non traditional students up to grade 3.

Little Homesteader: A Winter Treasury of Recipes, Crafts, and Wisdom by Angela Ferraro-Fanning is an excellent collection of wintertime activities and information. I appreciate the way that this book weaves together crafts and recipes with relevant facts about different aspects of winter. This book includes information about winter crops, utilizing kitchen scraps, and what happens to animals and trees in the winter. Recipes include hot chocolate, bread, candied oranges, and maple syrup candy. Crafts range from the practical pinecone bird feeder and finger knit scarf to solstice lanterns and salt dough ornaments. Each recipe and activity includes step-by-step directions as well as multiple illustrations of the steps.

I enjoy doing seasonal studies with my family as well as my students (as time permits), so I could see myself using this book at home and at school. I think this book generally does a great job of not limiting itself to a specific winter holiday, although it does include salt dough ornaments on a Christmas tree. I feel that the book could be more inclusive by including crafts related to other winter holidays as well as the salt dough ornaments.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and Ivy Kids in exchange for an honest review.

THIS BOOK IS SO AMAZING! I love all the crafts that are in here, especially since it gives you a step by step picture guide for your kiddos. The recipes are adorable and overall the book flows nicely. I will be purchasing for my daughter.

he cover of this title invites its readers right in. Inside are activities that involve crafts, cooking and planting. Just a few of the sections in this title include Recipes for Cocoa; Make a Dried Orange Slice Garland, How to Tap a Tree and Winter Birds and Nesting Habits.
