They had so much fun building and playing with their friends. \r\nI enjoyed seeing their creativity shine through. One boy said, \"I made a vacuum\" and it really looked like one. They were building houses and towers. Some made flowers and helicopters. The color changing putty was so fun and exciting as the putty changed colors. It was so much fun.

By integrating forest-related content into their outdoor play, they learn important lessons: trees provide shade and oxygen, bees are crucial for pollination, and natural settings offer tranquility and rejuvenation. This hands-on experience teaches children the importance of caring for the forest to sustain these benefits, and instills a sense of respect for all living things.\r\nThank you so much for your generosity.
