So that children can constantly communicate with nature in groups of kindergartens, “living corners” are created where birds, animals, fish and plants are kept. In addition, kids study in the backyards of children’s institutions, where they learn to loosen and dig the ground, grow flowers, vegetables or berries. To make work bring pleasure to children, classes are selected according to their age:
- A child of the younger group takes care of flowers and feeds animals only under the supervision of a teacher. At this age, he is entrusted with simple tasks: watering flowers, wiping leaves, pouring food, harvesting.
- In the middle group, the baby takes care of nature independently. The child is taught the skills of simple work, and is introduced to the conditions for growing plants. They explain to the kid what moisture, light, favorable conditions and warmth are for living organisms.
- In the older group, the child learns to collective and independent work. The teacher explains how the plants differ from each other and what parts they consist of. During this period, the child develops the skills of transplanting flowers, sowing seeds.
Labor in nature instills in children a love of the environment and teaches them to take care of plants and animals. In addition, classes develop the child and strengthen his health. Therefore, it is recommended to carry out them as often as possible.
