Playing is in our nature – and playing among nature is one of the greatest delights childhood has to offer, whether you live among skyscrapers or fields. The Nature of Play (from Argentine toy brand Fanny & Alexander) suggests simple, seasonal ideas for nature-based play all year long, from long-beloved rainy day games to intrepid outdoor adventures, including:

- Learning how to find your way using nature's signs
- Cooking delicious food over a fire you've carefully built
- Weaving a timeless basket
- Hosting a special summertime party
- Tuning up your bike

...as well as nature guides, recipes and poems to take celebrate the turning of the seasons, and conversations with extraordinary people.

From the pure joy of flying a homemade kite to the nocturnal magic of stargazing, this is a book for children and adults alike to turn to, whatever the weather.

Fanny & Alexander creates heirloom-quality toys are crafted from thoughtfully sourced hardwoods and soft leather. Elements are carved from contrasting woods rather than being painted, so they are completely natural and safe for even the youngest children to enjoy. Each toy is individually assembled and meticulously checked to ensure it meets their rigorous standards — and, of course, is able to endure years of use and love. Every one of their simple, enduring toys is designed to stimulate the imagination, foster creativity and encourage exploration.
