Designing from nature materials

In the morning teacher and children (5-6 years old) talked about the parts of the trees and different trees in our country. During everyday walk in autumn children went to the park and observed the trees. They compared how they have changed during the summer. During the walk the teacher gave them different tasks: find 5 birch tree leaves, find one big and one small branch, find two pine cones and two fir tree cones, etc.

Then they went to the basketball cout in the park and children had to create from the gathered material an owl - the symbol of their group.
