We started the project:
1. We speak about the project sitting around the almond tree.
3. We taste the ingredients with closed eyes
4. We dance our “almond tree dance”
5. We cook a cake called almond brick
Through the Comenius partnership "SETS" the children will learn that there are many different European traditional tales. The similarities and differences. This Multilateral Partnerships consists of institutions located in Germany (Kindergarten Le petit prince, Baden-Baden), France (École Primaire Publique,Ploubazlanec), Portugal (EB 1 com Jardim de Infância da Correeira, Albufeira), Estonia (Tallinna Liivaku Lasteaed, Tallinn) and Bulgaria (Deutscher Kindergarten Erich-Kästner, Sofia).


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.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.

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.
