These activities arent just about fun, theyre about hands-on learning. Whether its making shuttlecocks from chicken feathers or creating plant prints with spring flowers, all the children appear to be fully engaged in the process.
Despite some risks, the schools principal Zhang Qian emphasized the importance of providing children with unforgettable childhood experiences.

In Zhangs view, everyday life is a curriculum. While traditional classrooms have boundaries, education does not, and by being outdoors, the childrens classroom encompasses everything in nature. Therefore, the joy and importance of cooking outdoors should not be underestimated.
At the Xu Hai Road Kindergarten, every day is an adventure filled with laughter, learning, and discovery. Through these hands-on experiential activities, children are not only learning about the world around them but also developing essential life skills in the most enjoyable way possible.
