Recipients

Objectives

• Promote learning through direct experience in a natural environment
• Foster respect and understanding of the natural environment and its rules through sensory exploration
• Stimulate children's curiosity and creativity
• Enhance observation skills
• Identify and describe sounds, smells, colors related to the natural environment

An activity for the little ones that will allow us to enter the woods on tiptoe, discover the perception that wild animals have, activate senses like hearing, smell, touch...

Description

A playful approach to develop sensory, manipulation, creative skills, to get to know the forest through its colors, sounds, smells...

The dioramas, in the Park Visitor Center, will help us recognize the animals that inhabit it, hear their sounds, touch their fur...

Methodology

We will learn to observe and not just to look!

The visit to the Park's visitor center will teach us to learn about the animals living in the woods, their habits, behavior. Few use sight to orient themselves and move in the woods; smell and hearing are the most developed senses... But someone uses touch to feel the dangers!

Identifying ourselves with the animals of the woods, we will take a walk and activate all our senses.
