  Welcome to the May issue of Wild Kids Magazine.  To be honest, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to get this issue out.  I’ve been rather sick, a consequence of burning my candle at both ends far too much the past few months and being very sleep deprived and stressed right when I needed a healthy immune system.  I’ve been feeling better the last few days though and I put together an issue after all.  I used last May’s issue as a template and I’m afraid I had to use the same poetry page, but I put together some new things to try to bring you some nature fun…

Welcome to the April issue of Wild Kids Magazine.  This month is a different sort of month for most of us around the world, so I’ve adapted this month’s issue to reflect that.  Most of the focus is on ways to enjoy nature at home, even indoors, like sprouting vegetable scraps, planning and starting gardens, looking for wild edible plants in our own backyards, and watching the stars from the balcony at night. It’s important to note that even in times like these (especially in times like these), nature is vitally important for our emotional and physical health.  Sunshine, fresh air and light exercise are all great ways to further…

This month’s collectible nature cards are for trees and their uses.  This month, I’ve put the collectible cards at the end of the magazine in case you’d like to…

  Welcome to the April edition of Wild Kids Magazine! Wow, the year is flying by! This month’s issue is 16 pages, in PDF format and free as always.  I have worked to include more information for those of you in the Southern Hemisphere, which meant having to learn quite a lot about foraging in places like Australia this time of year (I’m jealous that you guys have wild foods with names like lilly pilly!).  I’ve also worked hard to include activities for families in all parts of the world for the monthly list of 10 ways to have fun with nature.
