🍓🍓🍓👒Hands-on, real -world sensory exploration.🌞
-Through their visit at the strawberry farm, children discovered where food comes from by seeing how strawberries grow on plants.
-Walking the fields exposed children to plants like clovers, thistles, camomile and insects like butterflies, ladybirds, beetles or ants.
-Children saw the visual transformation from flower to green berry to ripe red fruit.
-Picking fragile berries required a gentle "pincer grip" that builds finger strength for future pencil control.
-Children were navigating uneven fields, squatting and bending , great for gross motor skills

It's raining! 🌧️
We went for a walk in the forest on a rainy day, answered riddles, listened to birdsong and climbed logs. Then came the indoor activities, in a comfortable setting. We warmed ourselves by the fire, made and ate bread and played in the salt mine. Rain, rain, come again another day! 🌧️

Earth Day is celebrated annually on April 22nd. For early years children, it is a key opportunity to introduce the concept of environmental stewardship through hands-on, sensory-based play. Children learned about recycled materials ♻️ and about steps to protect the planet: planting, pick up litter, conserve energy and water.🌎💚
