I just collect leaves on the ground and make a skewer.
Noemi, 3 years old
In autumn, the school garden transforms into a palette of warm, enveloping colors; it's not just a physical space, but a true integrated learning environment, where children can explore, observe, and experience the changes this season offers, fostering a sense of wonder and belonging to the natural world.
Through direct experiences, such as collecting natural materials, children develop an emotional and respectful relationship with the environment, strengthening cognitive, communication, and social skills. ("I just collect leaves on the ground"). This free activity brings about what is called CREATIVE CONTAMINATION, a way of learning through the encounter and transformation of ideas, materials, and perspectives. (The Well-Made Head. Complex Thinking - Edgar Morin)
