Description

This charmingly illustrated seasonal treasury of nature-based crafts, baking recipes and gardening projects for the winter celebrates the country cottage lifestyle with self-sufficient and eco-friendly fun. Locally printed on 100% recycled paper, A Winter Treasury of Recipes, Crafts and Wisdom (Little Country Cottage) offers: - Easy yet delicious winter recipes and treats that introduce young readers to local and seasonal eating. From berry cookies, to hot cocoa recipes to warm up after a winter walk, the easy-to-make recipes will inspire kids to get into the kitchen. - Suggestions for using up unloved parts of produce, such as carrot tops to make a kitchen windowsill garden, demonstrate a naturally zero-waste way of living. - Accessible and fun crafts, such as making salt-dough ornaments and foraged foliage wreaths, have instructions broken down into clear steps illustrated in AnneliesDraws' cute and wholesome style. - The seasonal gardening and growing projects, such as planting bare root berry bushes in the ground or in containers, can be done in a big back yard or on a balcony, making this eco-friendly activity book a fun resource, whether readers are based in town or 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 the winter season has to offer. Find even more nature-centered seasonal fun in: Little Country Cottage: An Autumn Treasury of Recipes, Crafts and Wisdom.
