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 Annelies Draws’ 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.
