Top Ten Foods To Forage

Top Ten Foods To Forage

I have looked at some of the best times to forage in the U.K. and ones of the best months to forage is september. This website is showing me what the top ten foods are to pick in britain for september.

This website also give you a little bit of information about each fruite and plants history, this is allowing me to understand why they are famous.They are mainly famous because they are easy to find and spot aswell as you are able to eat them.

Existing Books


These are some existing children’s books which I have looked at and found very helpful in what ideas have been given to me. Each of these designs is very different in their approaches, some with lots of colour and design compared to some with minimal design but with large affect. 

Getting inspiration from the minimal designed pieces has given me the idea of not having as much emphasis on over loading a child with information.
