The seasonal quarterly UK magazine for children
Its aim is to guide children into the inner world of traditional stories and out into the natural world around them. This beautiful resource encourages both children & adults to use their natural capacity for imagination, creativity and invention through storytelling, painting, number work, drawing, crafting and writing
Each issue of A Year and a Day includes three full stories, fifteen story-based activities and several additional seasonally themed pages, including recipes, posters and quizzes. Each issue has an average of forty pages, printed on high quality, uncoated paper, especially for drawing and writing on.
In the winter, it seems like the world is in a state of deep sleep. Trees are bare, many birds have migrated, some animals have gone into hibernation and most plants have died away. But under the earth, all is still busy, preparing for the spring to come, when seeds can unfold their roots and begin to grow again.
In this issue you will find three stories all connected to the life of the underground, a life that happens under our feet and out of sight, but one that is so important for all living creatures.
As well as opening up a whole new world of underground activity, we hope that by the time you finish reading this magazine you will also know how to:
- Make a toilet roll mole
- Create a wormery - including one you can eat!
- Identify burrowing animals
- Dig for treasure
- Charm worms
... And much more!
