THE HANDBOOK OF FORGOTTEN SKILLS

The Handbook of Forgotten Skills by Natalie Crowley and Elaine Batiste is a delightful children's book that introduces young readers to a collection of traditional skills and crafts that have faded from everyday life. Through engaging activities, it teaches practical techniques such as knot-tying, map reading, or gardening, offering a blend of creativity and history to inspire a new generation of problem-solvers. This book revives the charm of timeless know-how, encouraging children to explore and appreciate the past.

Fully-illustrated chapters feature the history and story behind more than thirty skills, including:
How to skip stones
How to wrap a package with brown paper and string
How to grow your own tomatoes
How to sew on a button
How to use a compass
How to mend a sock

Turn the clock back to a simpler time. Cold lemonade in summer, evenings by a campfire, a warm blanket in winter.
