Project : Building a house, from the blueprint to the finished house

After taking a closer look at some blueprints we read a picture-book called „Auf der Baustelle“ („At the construction site“) before we tried to build some little houses (Lego) ourselves.

Each child created its very own miniature house made of cardboard.

On 27th June 2009 we celebrated our 10th anniversary. Some of the very first children who attended the kindergarten made a speech. Even the mayor of Baden-Baden, Mr. Gerstner, was there and said a few greeting words.
The educators, parents and children performed a play called “The Prince’s Theatre” based on the novel of “The Little Prince” by Saint-Exupéry. Here are some photos.
Near the end of the party, we let 100 balloons fly away and inaugurated the new signboard of our kindergarten. It was a lovely celebration.

Easter in Baden-Baden

In Germany, in the kindergarten „Le petit prince“, the Easter bunny comes every year to bring a little nest to the children. This year we celebrated Easter a little differently. The children built a large nest out of sticks in the forest. Some days later, they hiked to the nest that they had made and actually found some Easter eggs, little rabbits and chicks, all made of chocolate, as well as other goodies.
Happily loaded with their treasures, they returned to the kindergarten, where Nikolaj’s father had prepared a huge buffet with hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, bread and other delicacies. This is how we celebrated Easter this year.
