Yesterday in our rainy forest, things got quite colorful, loud, funny, and even a bit spooky. It’s well known that many mystical creatures roam the forest, but we rarely get to see them. So, it was all the more impressive when, on the occasion of a Carnival party that had apparently become the talk of the town, so many revealed themselves to us at once. There were witches and unicorns, (lucky) princesses and angels. But ghosts, vampires, and dragons also mingled among us. We were quite relieved to have all the knights, ninjas, and even heroes like Robin Hood rush to our aid to protect our beautiful kindergarten. Although, in the end, that wasn’t necessary at all. Thanks to all the fun, the music, and the funny games, there was peace and harmony among all the beings. With limbo, pretzel snatching, and even a big treasure hunt that led to all our favorite forest spots, it’s no wonder! Probably the numerous colorful dishes also contributed to calming the spirits! Besides vegan sausage sandwiches, there was a real feast for little and big sweet tooths! Lemon cake, chocolate lentils, gummy bears, mini doughnuts, and even a rainbow cake from the unicorn! Normally, you wouldn’t find so much sweetness in our forest, but when the children create the menu and participation is as big a deal as it is with us, it can look like that.

The good mood was, of course, also carried by making music and dancing together. Before the celebration in the forest gradually came to an end, one or the other had a wild ride on the unruly broom of the local dark witch. It was a day that will surely be remembered for a long time and once again proved that no little weather can dampen our spirits!
