What if stories and play were the bridge between children (and their grown ups) and nature? Join us as we explore this concept with Susie Spikol, a naturalist and educator whose enchanting book, Forest Magic for Kids: How to Find Fairies, Make a Secret Fort, and Cook Up an Elfin Picnic, serves as a portal to the wonders of the natural world. Susie shares her journey from being a Brooklyn secret fort naturalist inspired by childhood tales like Winnie the Pooh and The Hobbit to her life's work as a naturalist and storyteller in New Hampshire.
Discover how storytelling can transform outdoor adventures into magical experiences, sparking curiosity and a love for nature among kids and their grownups -- whether at home or in the classroom. We'll even share a few personal tales of fairy houses and secret forts that have left a lasting mark on our hearts.
We delve into the whimsical activities outlined in Susie's book, each designed to ignite children's creativity and connection to the environment. From crown making to potion crafting, these projects encourage imaginative play and environmental stewardship. Susie also highlights her work at the Harris Center for Conservation Education, where she nurtures a sense of wonder in both kids and adults.
