It’s finally here…and it has puppets! We put a lot of hard work into our book trailer for The Kids’ Outdoor Adventure Book: 448 Things to Do in Nature Before You Grow Up.  A big, huge thanks to Jon Good. Check out his website jgoodmedia.com. He’s a good friend and an all-around creative genius. He’s the one who made the magic happen, and we really want to thank him for his hard work. We hope you enjoy our take on a book trailer and share it with your friends. Oh yeah, and we hope you buy the book, too! What kind of authors would we be if we didn’t tell you to buy our book every chance we get?

We love to recycle and to repurpose things at Destination Nature. This project, from our book The Kids’ Outdoor Adventure Book: 448 Great Things To Do In Nature Before You Grow Up, combines two of our favorite things…music and nature. Learn how you can personalize a birdhouse using old vinyl record album covers. This is a fun craft project for the whole family, and the finished birdhouses make great gifts.

Don’t let a little snow keep you for going on a winter hike. Dig out the snowshoes or the cross-country skis and hit the trails. Watch as Ken share’s a little tip on how to get back up after you fall down when you are skiing.

Even when there is snow outside, you can be gardening indoors. No need to wait for spring to see the first blooms of the year. By forcing bulbs inside you can have flowers anytime. Crocus blooms and other bulbs can brighten up a winter day. Stacy explains the trick in this video.

Ken offers up some tips on what you should pack before heading out on the trail.
