A fun, informative and practical introduction to safely foraging with kids, from the UK's bestselling foraging author.In today’s world of increasingly sedentary lifestyles and a growing detachment from the food that we eat, it has never been more important to encourage children to put down their screens, get outside and engage with the natural world around them. Foraging with Kids is a fun, practical book for parents to work through with their children that encourages families to interact with their environment and gain knowledge and practical understanding of the natural world through exploration and play. The projects are based around 50 easy-to-identify plants that are abundant in parks, forests and hedgerows worldwide, making the challenge of discovering functional flora just as achievable to those who live in the city as in the countryside. Once they have foraged their plants, children will be amazed by the diverse practical uses that they can set them to; from making soap from conkers or setting a delicious egg-free custard with plantain, to stopping minor cuts from bleeding with hedge woundwort. Children will take great pride in seeing their gatherings forming part of the family meal and parents will be amazed at how even the most vegetable-averse child will develop an enthusiastic appetite for a meal that they have contributed to. Illustrated throughout with beautiful hand drawings and with essential information on plant facts and identification, as well as a diverse range of engaging, practical projects that the whole family will want to get involved with, this is the perfect book for anyone who wants the children under their care to get outside, connect with nature and have a lot of fun in the process.

Natural & Organic Liquid Soap Making Business StartupLearn How to Make Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash, Sunscreen Lotion, Muscle Balm, Hand Sanitizers, Pet Shampoo & So Much MoreI started making Body wash, shampoo and conditioners in 2004 when after a couple of allergy tests my dermatologist advised me not to use any store bought soap or shampoo. The doctor said my skin discoloration issue was an adverse chemical reaction from the soap. Soon my necessity to make soap became a true passion.It wasn’t until 2012 when my husband got laid off from his job, I had to seriously think about how to turn my passion into a small home based business, and I did. I grew my business into a decent business making not only Shampoos or liquid soaps, but I ventured into making body scrubs, body wash, SPF lotions, muscle rubs, bug repellent, hand scrub(mostly for my husband, so he can use after working on his 65 Mustang), hand sanitizer and even dog shampoo for our 10 years old Dalmatian.This book is not about my success in business, but I want to focus on you and your ability to make your passion into a home based business which can potentially grow into a big business. Lately, the new trend is all organic and all natural Beauty products, so I think this is the right time to get into this business.I put my best efforts to make this book easy to read and follow so you can get started and see a big success in a short period of time.In this book, my goal is to you make you understand and learn how each ingredient works with each other and how to create your own recipes and flavors, so your creative side comes out and creates something unique that is truly yours and only yours.
