Looking for ways to get the children away from the screen and into the green?

Packed with great photos of real families in the outdoors, Born to be Wild contains easy-to-follow instructions for activities that require nothing more sophisticated than a small person's imagination and access to a little outdoor space. And the best bit? Everything you need to engage in the activities can be found in your kitchen cupboard. No expensive art supplies or outward-bound kit required – just ordinary household essentials like recycled food containers, scraps of paper, string, glue and an empty jar or two.

With spring and Easter holidays on the horizon, it's a perfect time to get inspired. Create a Jam-Jar garden, build a nest, make a treasure map or do some pond dipping! Born to be Wild will show you how.

To enter the draw to win a copy of Born to be Wild plus a pair of adult Barbour wellies (got to get you outside too!), just share your ideas for getting kids to love nature.

This discussion is sponsored by Bloomsbury and will close on 11 April.

We live near the countryside so loads of interesting places for DS to explore. He loves finding new paths and trails in woods and seeing where they lead. He also loves to choose a new stick each time, just for the sake of hitting trees with.

Thank you everyone for all these wonderful ideas. Reading through has made me really want to get out into the countryside! The winner of Born to be Wild and the Barbour wellies was MrsSimonNeil. Congratulations!
