“I carry colored pencils in a box
I really like colored pencils
Colored pencils when I ask for them
They will paint everything I want!”

The words of this song are known to every preschooler. The “Crayon Day” holiday falls on November 22 and this year it was a Wednesday. On this occasion, at the Public Kindergarten named after Winnie the Pooh workshops with crayons were held in Sarnów! The children learned about the types of crayons and created collections of crayons according to color, shape and size. Later, preschoolers from the Wise Owls group made their crayons using various techniques: dry painting with wax crayons, watercolor painting, colorful cut-outs, paper cut-outs, and tissue paper balls. At the end of the classes, the children also took part in music and movement games with a song titled ” Colourful pencils”.

The workshops were organized as part of the project “Little with age, but big with eco-heart” project number: 2022-3-PL01-ESC30-SOL-000097905.

We plant trees twice a year because this is the rhythm dictated by nature. In accordance with the law of nature, preschoolers from the Private Nursery and Kindergarten “Świat Dziecka” in Siewierz participated in the tree planting campaign twice in 2023. It was a spring and autumn campaign. The workshops were organized as part of the project “Little with age, but big with eco-heart” project number: 2022-3-PL01-ESC30-SOL-000097905. The autumn tree planting campaign took place on November 15, 2023. The aim of the workshops was to teach children how to care for plants and awaken their interest in nature. The classes consisted of two parts: theoretical and practical.

After a presentation about ecology and plants, children from the groups: Pixies, Smurfs and Dots reached for shovels, seedlings, watering cans and started planting trees.

Preschoolers and their caregivers transplanted plants from pots into the ground. The trees were planted around the playground located in the kindergarten. They will provide protection against excessive sun rays and will be an educational base for recognizing the family of trees. This year, preschoolers planted spruces, pines and maples. The little gardeners were very happy with the task entrusted to them. The workshops were summarized in the words of the kindergarten teacher:

“Planting trees plays a big role for the environment in which we live. Trees improve air quality, shape the climate, retain rainwater and provide a valuable raw material.”

Autumn is coming to an end. The cold of the coming winter is becoming more and more felt, so children from the Private Nursery and Kindergarten “Child’s World” in Siewierz participated in creative handicraft workshops to stop the golden Polish autumn. The workshop took place on November 15, 2023. The aim of the workshop was to create a recycled copper tree. To make the above-mentioned item, materials were used that are usually not used for play but end up in the trash, i.e. copper wire from a damaged electric motor, buttons “from a sweater from grandma”, an eco-friendly drink cup, old newspapers, i.e. items that we gave second life to. life.

While spending time together, unique creative works were created.

At the end, preschoolers from the groups: Pixies, Smurfs and Dots painted a large autumn tree with paints, the leaves of which were the prints of children’s hands in different colors.

This type of workshop is a great opportunity to promote ecology among children.

The workshops were organized as part of the project “Little with age, but big with eco-heart” project number: 2022-3-PL01-ESC30-SOL-000097905.

Autumn is a beautiful time, full of colorful leaves falling to the ground and rustling underfoot. A time for family walks in the park and collecting chestnuts, acorns and mountain ash.

It is also a perfect time to organize ecological workshops for children entitled: “What does autumn bring us in the basket?”

Therefore, on Friday, October 20, 2023, two groups of “Wise Owls” children attending the Public Kindergarten. Winnie the Pooh in Sarnów took part in ecological handicraft workshops organized as part of the project „Little with age, but big with eco-heart!” project no.: 2022-3-PL01-ESC30-SOL-000097905.

At the beginning of classes, preschoolers and their kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Magdalena, went to the kindergarten garden and collected autumn gifts. They collected various types of leaves, which they later used for artistic works. During the workshops, the youngest children performed “Autumn Hedgehog” on their own. The following materials were used for work: colorful maple leaves, colored paper and rowan trees (nose). Eyes and a smile painted with a black marker. The works were beautiful, simple and creative. The children’s finished works wonderfully decorated the interior of the kindergarten corridor.

We were surprised by their ingenuity, concentration of attention and accuracy in carrying out their work. Sometimes it may seem that children will not be able to create spatial work without the help of an adult. Nothing could be further from the truth. Take a look for yourself…

Holidays are a time of joy, sunny days and juicy fruit. On a hot August day in the Private Nursery and Kindergarten “Children’s World” in Siewierz, preschoolers from the group of Pixies, Smurfs and Dots celebrated an unusual holiday – “Watermelon Day”. On this day, children made fruit sailboats on their own. For work, they used materials that had been given a second life: watermelon rind, plastic bottles, long toothpicks, red sheets of paper from the technical block. The youngest coped with this task very well. To provide plenty of attractions on this day, the children and their teacher went to the swimming pool located in the kindergarten to launch watermelon sailboats.

These were successful activities that gave the children a lot of joy and satisfaction. The opportunity to make a sailboat was an excellent lesson in handicraft and an inspiration for artistic activities.

The workshops were conducted as part of the project „Little with age, but big with eco-heart!” project number: 2022-3-PL01-ESC30-SOL-000097905.
