In the forest, children immerse themselves in sensory experiences by observing, smelling, feeling, hearing, and recognizing their surroundings. They enhance their motor skills by climbing, balancing, and jumping over tree trunks. The children explore nature with all their senses, touching and sniffing flowers and berries, tumbling into tall grass or piles of leaves, and listening to the forest’s sounds. Each day in the forest is a diverse and fun-filled adventure, naturally stimulating the children and providing numerous sensory and motor experiences.

Mixed-age groups enjoy forest days once or twice a week from March to June and from September to October. These days are organized to include as many children as possible. Children aged 2.5 and older can join with their parents’ consent. A handcart accompanies the group, carrying all necessary cooking utensils, materials for rituals and activities, as well as sleeping mats and sleeping bags for naps. The children can shape their daily routine by choosing whether to help with cooking, participate in guided activities, or engage in free play. Wanda, the forest owl, guides the children through the welcome ritual.

The forest day begins at 9:30 am. The children are prepared with tick spray and sun cream, and their rucksacks are checked. After the welcome ritual, the children decide whether to participate in activities like making mandalas, searching for animal tracks, building dens, staying in free play, or helping with cooking. At noon, everyone eats lunch together, followed by a break for the younger children. After the break, the children play freely while the caregivers wash up and tidy the forest area. Around 3:00 pm, the group takes the bus back and enjoys a snack.
