The interactive program provides insights into educational work
The nature-based kindergarten in Wolfskehlen celebrated International Forest Day with numerous guests and a diverse program of activities. The event took place on the grounds at An der Sandkaute, around the kindergarten's construction trailer.
A glimpse into everyday life at the nature kindergarten
Director Anja Llorca welcomed the visitors together with the teaching team. Representatives from the city, including department head Rick Hölzer, were also present.
To kick things off, the children sang a song together to get everyone in the mood for the afternoon. Afterwards, families were able to explore the grounds and learn more about the educational work at the nature kindergarten.
Interactive activities and quizzes for children and parents
The focus was on numerous hands-on activities. Children and parents could participate together in a quiz where they had to answer questions about nature and the environment.
In addition, there were creative and playful activity stations: branches were decorated with wool and beads, a rope course invited visitors to balance and climb, and a large tipi made of branches could be explored. Games and a reading corner for younger children were also part of the program.
A nature experience for the whole family
The event offered not only entertainment but also a direct insight into the concept of the nature-based kindergarten. The grounds in the Sandkaute recreation area were deliberately used as a learning and experiential space.
The event demonstrated how nature education can be taught in a playful way and met with great interest from the visitors.
