children's forest

The realization of the children's forest starts with children of different ages building their ideas.
In one day a tree house is build up and also a tipi-toko and climbing platform.
The part where the children worked is in front of the main building, later parts will be realized in the forests behind and to the right of the buildings.
The idea is that different ages can have their own places and do not disturb the way younger or older children are working.
Of course it is possible to work together and share the experiences.

With the local schools a cooperation has started and in autumn and spring they can continue.
The forest will grow and an amazing place to play, stay and build will invite children of all ages to take part in it.

New plans will be made with the artist Mari Shields. She will start with the students of the 7th class from secondary school of Haukivuori to continue the buildings in the forest. Her artistic view can give new experiences to the young people and involve them by art in daily live.

in summer 2006 children visit the children's forest to build and play, the first constructions were build
the children's forest is for several ages and all they will plan their own view on what and how to construct
the first results were hidden under the birches and attractive for other children
in winter children from the neighborhood start to continue the work, the result is an higher construction

On the page children's forest project you find information about the lessons in the primary school to prepare the building
