About the Book
In earlier days, Children used to play outdoor games with natural resources such as plant parts (fruits, flowers, leaves, seeds, stems, etc.) and formed an integral part of nature. However with shrinkage of open spaces and play grounds, present day children are often seen putting their leisure hours with electronic gadgets such as computers, mobile phones and video games and consequently the indigenous knowledge associated with playing in nature is being lost and their social attitude is disturbed. From a wide survey of rural and tribal pockets, the authors have gathered the vanishing indigenous knowledge and have described 90 plant species with their fruits, flowers, leaves, seeds, stems etc. which are used for fun and games besides as learning materials supplemented with pictures, diagrams and photographs for the benefit of the readers, especially the plant lovers and Environmentalists.
