From two educators and parents raising their own children without screens, Three Hundred Sixty-Five Days Outside: A One-Year Field Guide to Family Adventures, Outdoor Play, and Life Beyond Screens was written as a practical answer to the question: how do we get children to spend more time outside?
Many parents can relate; childhood is becoming more digital and indoors than ever before. Families want more time outside, to be more connected, and to make more meaningful memories. But busy schedules and screens make it hard to start.
This book is built on the idea that important habits start small, and meaningful changes come gradually.
You don't need to move mountains or change your entire lifestyle.
This book doesn't contain any extreme adventures like skydiving or cliff jumping. It's not full of expensive hobbies or complicated plans.
Inside, you'll find it's centered around the idea that childhood (and life) should be experienced, not scrolled.
You'll find 365 simple outdoor activity prompts in this book. It includes:
- Seasonally-appropriate activities for every time of year
- Creative outdoor play ideas for kids of all ages
- Low-prep ideas that fit real family schedules
- A flexible format that you can start any day of the year
Many of the prompts are playful; some are reflective. Others are adventurous. All of them are designed to help families step outside together and experience the real world, directly.
This is not a book intended to be read cover-to-cover; it's intended to be carried, written in, revisited, and used again year after year.
