When the sun shines and the temperatures rise, we feel even more drawn outside than usual. The warm months at ylaa Densa Park are filled with lively movement, joyful laughter, and countless moments of exploration under the open sky. Whether on the large lawn playing with water and balls, painting colorful pictures on the pavement, splashing in the sand and water, or watching ducks and boats on the Rhine – the children experience summer with all their senses.
But it’s not just about playing – it’s about learning through exploration: What does wet sand feel like? What happens when I pour water over it? What new color appears when I mix two others? What does the wind sound like in the trees or the water bubbling in the fountain?
Nature and the urban surroundings offer daily inspiration for shared experiences, for wonder, experimentation, and creativity. In these moments, the children experience agency and strengthen their social skills – effortlessly, while painting, splashing, or listening on a picnic blanket in the shade.
We believe it’s important to offer children these rich experiences while also giving them space for free play and childlike curiosity. Because it is exactly here – outdoors, in contact with their surroundings, with water, stones, colors, movement, and people – that deep and lasting learning happens in the most natural way.
