Over in Nature Activities we demonstrated how to chop wood, build and light a fire- this is a great experience to share as a family, check it out if you haven't done yet.
It is natural to have some fears about fire especially trusting your children to build, light and load a fire for the first time.
Danny's story Fox and Fire is a nice introduction to fire and helps children understand how fire can be really useful but how we should also remember the importance of treating fire with respect too.
The story also reveals two 'origins' of how the Rabbit got his short tale and how Fox got his black paws.
