Teacher Inspiration
Urban Puddle Jumpers
The children's books listed here are the ones I have sourced in my activities. Some of these are no longer available for purchase, but always keep your eyes open for book sales, teacher retirement sales and thrift stores. There is also always the library. There are many children's books that can be used with outdoor experiences, therefore, I have created collections to go with each of the sections on the website. Just click the button below, and you will be taken to the books.
