Norwegian kindergartens go to zoo's too.. atleast my did. and mountain climbing, I remember since I fell trough the ice ontop of a mountain we went on. (my city don't have a zoo, but we went to a aquarium and out grilling many times, so I'll say that's equal)

I love this concept! A great way to get kids into the outdoors and have them appreciate nature. It's much healthier than what kids do now inside the house all the time. When I have kids I want them to appreciate nature the way I do.

I went to an outdoor kindergarten. It was in Bergen, so naturally it sucked. It rained all the time.

I loved that expression, "there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes" Being a Canadian, I can totally agree!

This was just beautiful to watch; I cried at the end! I loved the look of pride on those little faces throughout. They were always treated with such respect and they followed through. Kids always rise to the occasion when allowed the chance and practice.

Haha 2:23 I love the way he says "Outside its ONLY JUST about freezing, so these five years old needs to dress warmly". It sound like he has been told that "only just about freezing" really aint that cold in Norway but he just cant believe it. Normal winter temperature in the winter are about -5 to -15C.

This is wonderful! I know there are some outdoor kindergardens in the U.S. but none where I live. Thankfully we homeschool and do much of the same things.

@me0000ww Five year old children all over the world light fires and cut things with knives. It's only in SOME places where not allowing them to do this is "conventional".

Conuly Says:
What is the cost of having your kid light a match? They learn how to do it safely and aren't spending their lives thinking it's an enticing act. What do you think, that the kids are just dropping like flies there? How absurd!

Conuly Says:
What's even scarier is that some five year olds can't cut their own food or help prepare dinner because nobody lets them use knives.

I love this video! Quite inspiring! I feel bad about not taking my toddler out on this blustery day now. Of course, he didn't watch TV all day, he played, but we could have enjoyed the clouds. And those who say the poor do not pay taxes-they don't pay federal, and maybe not state, but they do pay property taxes on cars and a higher percentage of their pay on sales tax.

Guys, I need your feedback on a new navigation game design for iPhone devices, called MATMON. MATMON Provides you with an amazing outdoor experience! It's based on missions that you create directly on your device (There is no need to load coordinates into your iPhone). You can also share your missions using Bluetooth with other iPhone devices - to enable multiple players to play simultaneously. You are invited to share your experiences in Matmon Facebook site. Happy Holidays!
