This autumn we made a trip with group of children to the farm which is nearby to our kindergarten. There is a café on that farm, they set up riding courses there and all kinds of different events. We prepaired the trip in advance with the kids, discussed what animals we will see there and drew pictures of the animals and sang songs which suited to the theme. On that trip day the kids were thrilled and walked breedzily in double line to the farm. Luckily the weather was sunny. On the farm we saw chickens, horses, dogs and lambs, and the kids were facinated especially to the little ponies. We were allowed also to touch those. We ate our picnic lunch at the yard and walked back to the kindergarten. After that the kids rested a while. Kids talked about the trip for a long time afterwards. Everybody draw something which they remembered best from the trip. These kinds of trips refresh children´s and kindergarten workers daily routines.
