Children hide their favourite books in zip-lock bags anywhere they wish; at lochs, parks and on walks, all with a little note inside. When someone finds the book, the note tells them they are the lucky finder and that they can read the book then re-hide it for someone else. We also ask if they would be willing to send a photo to my Facebook page, so I can show the children that their books have been found.
I was inspired by a nursery group in England who had done something similar, and I realised my local community didn’t have anything like it. I thought that not only would it be good for the children that I look after, but it would also benefit the rest of the wider community.
