EssTreeB Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) Has anyone tried to recreate a forest kindergarten type experience? For example: I am considering it. We already play outside lots and we have a woodsy big yard. I've got twins and we plan to start formally homeschooling in the fall when they are about 5.5. (with a tag along younger sibling). They'd be thrilled if I let them use knives and have fires. Edited March 10, 2017 by EssTreeB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I don't really try to recreate the forest kindergarten, but my kindergartener does spend most of her time outside. We live a few yards from the (dry) river, and we spend a lot of time down there. She basically lives outside, and I throw in some phonics and math (living and otherwise) in there. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssTreeB Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 That sounds like a great kindergarten experience! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I don't really try to recreate the forest kindergarten, but my kindergartener does spend most of her time outside. Same. There are some fun books...Dangerous Book for Boys, Play the Forest School Way, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking Squirrels Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 This looks awesome! I'm trying to think of some ways I could do a bit of this. I'll have a 4th grader next year, too. Maybe something like every friday we just go out. We live in the middle of a city but a half hour drive would get us to the mountains.

rebbyribs Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 My kids are enrolled in a one day per week outdoor education program like that. They all love it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
