Forest kindergartens differ from the classic ones in that children spend the whole day in nature, more precisely in the forest. After the first forest kindergartens had opened in Denmark, this model first spread to the Scandinavian countries and Germany, and then further into the world. Forest pedagogy involves introducing children to forest ecosystems, including educational work in the natural environment. Working in such a kindergarten requires the competencies of educators in the field of ecology and continuous professional development. The positive influence of nature on the psychophysical health of children, communication competence and creativity is emphasized. Special emphasis is placed on creating a child's awareness of the right actions towards nature, how to behave and protect it. This paper describes how one specific forest kindergarten in Germany works, in which children learn with all their senses by playing in nature.
