Various species of animal live in Dirondello wood: little children of 3 to 4 years can get to know them by involvement in enjoyable activities, developed in the Montessori style. By means of lines to trace, shapes to recognise and colour, drawings to cut out and many brightly coloured stickers to place, children gradually learn new information on the features of woodland animals, at the same time developing their cognitive potential.
