Description
This charmingly illustrated seasonal treasury of nature-based crafts, bakes and gardening projects for autumn celebrates the country cottage lifestyle with self-sufficient and eco-friendly fun. Locally printed on 100% recycled paper, Little Country Cottage: An Autumn Treasury of Recipes, Crafts and Wisdom offers:
Easy yet delicious autumn recipes and treats that introduce young readers to local and seasonal eating. From pumpkin muffins to home-made apple chips, the easy-to-make recipes will inspire kids to get into the kitchen.
Suggestions for using up unloved parts of produce, such as ways to make use of apple cores and peel, demonstrate a naturally zero-waste way of living.
Accessible and fun crafts, such as making a gratitude tree and a woven basket, have instructions broken down into clear steps illustrated in AnneliesDraws' cute and wholesome style.
The seasonal gardening and growing projects, such as planting herbs, can be done in a big back yard or on a windowsill, making this eco-friendly activity book a fun resource, whether readers are based in towns or the country.
Woven alongside the cooking, crafting and planting projects are little snippets of seasonal information and self-sufficient wisdom from homesteading teacher Angela Fanning of Axe and Root Homestead, with a focus on enjoying and celebrating the best of what autumn has to offer. Find even more nature-centered seasonal fun in: Little Country Cottage: A Winter Treasury of Recipes, Crafts and Wisdom.
