WORKSHOPS WITH NATURAL MATERIALS

Natural materials are extraordinary didactic mediators, able to offer children fascinating encounters with objects, organisms and phenomena that deeply stimulate their curiosity. Workshops with natural materials offers a wide range of simple and functional activities to carry out with natural materials, both outdoors and in continuity with the garden or indoors, together with kindergarten children, to stimulate the different areas of learning and their natural curiosity.

Thanks to numerous suggestions, and practical and functional indications, the volume proposes transforming the school garden or courtyard into an attractive classroom, capable of stimulating various significant learning objectives in a playful way, activating research strategies and refining exploratory and observational skills.

With the proposed activities, the children will learn to:

• classify

• compare

• develop a scientific approach

A workshop in every school garden
The proposed activities can be carried out in any classroom or school.  It is sufficient to have a small green space, a flower bed, a garden, and some planters where children can collect natural materials to use in activities, transforming these spaces into small open-air educational workshops.
