For happy children who get to use all their senses and experience the seasons in nature: Farm, Nature & Forest Kindergarten Winter is just around the corner – possibly a winter of less heating. But the children in our farm daycare center don’t mind, they are used to being outside in wind and weather.
Experience metamorphosis: from caterpillar to butterfly
- 11. July 2022
- Animals
The caterpillars moved in with us at the beginning of July! Together with the children, the stage of development is observed and documented with the help of the “butterfly clock”. The caterpillars, which are completely different in shape from the moths, also feed quite differently. Usually the eggshell is eaten first after hatching. Subsequently, the caterpillars of most butterfly species eat leaves, needles, flowers, seeds, or fruits of various plants, with many species being specialized and dependent on specific plants…….

During Easter time we were very busy and made Easter nests with the children. For this purpose, paper plates were painted and designed as rabbits or chicks. Dyeing Easter eggs was also on our program and the children had a lot of fun doing it.

Cock-a-doodle-doo! Why children like multiculturalism, even when it comes to languages. We don’t like to do things by halves.

Crafting with kids: Autumnal things made of leaves, pumpkin & Co. Whether it’s foggy or golden, kids are drawn to the outdoors in the fall. For hours we wander through the garden, the woods and along the lake. Now nature releases its treasures and we discover many things that autumn has to offer in the harvest season: Apples and pumpkins in the garden, chestnuts, acorns, beechnuts and cones in the forest.

For a world worth living in: This is why we teach children about sustainable living

When we are out and about, it happens again and again: one of the children finds an empty can, the remains of a plastic bag or broken glass in the grass, on the forest floor or on the side of the path. “But that’s dangerous for the animals!” says Leon indignantly. He and the others can’t understand why people just throw their trash into the environment instead of taking it back home. “Or in the bins, there’s plenty there,” Ayla…

Nature, an adventure not only for our children Smallest creatures, greatest fascination! Marie crouches down and stares, transfixed, at a blade of grass in the meadow on which sits a tiny yellow snail. No, Marie notes, the snail is not sitting, but creeping very gradually up the stalk, leaving a shiny trail that sparkles in all the colors of the rainbow. Marie is completely fascinated.

Dear Parents, first of all, I hope they are all healthy and doing well under the circumstances! It is a difficult situation for all of us, because we are suddenly in the middle of a worldwide crisis that nobody expected.
