What if you had learned about healing herbs when you were a kid? What if stories about the plants had sparked your interest when you were five? Imagine how natural it would feel to gather them for food and medicine.
LearningHerbs has developed a children’s herbal learning system that engages kids through stories, and encourages them to learn even more about herbs by providing exciting hands-on activities.
Herb Fairies, A Magical Tale of Plants & Their Remedies, is the first children’s “chapter books” about herbs. Herb Fairies is written by Kimberly Gallagher, the creator of Wildcraft! An Herbal Adventure Game.
Herb Fairies picks up where Wildcraft left off. Each of the books tells about the identifying factors and a few simple uses for each herb. Although each book has it’s own story, they’re all connected to tell a much bigger story of a time when plant magic was fading from the world.
In each book, your child will meet an herb fairy, such as Viola the Violet Fairy, and learn about the plants through their adventure with the fairy. The books teach your child key identifying qualities of the plants as well as healing and edible uses through the OLDEST and most effective form of teaching…STORYTELLING.
The books come to you in digital format with options for using an eReader (Kindle/iPad/iPod/etc.) or for printing. You also receive a free audio book version, the Magic Keeper’s Journal, posters and coloring pages, recipe cards for remedies and recipes mentioned in the book, AND for each Herb Fair book, you receive the accompanying issue of Kristine Brown’s Herbal Roots Zine. (LearningHerbs always gives some kind of cool BONUS with their products too.) 🙂
