Finally, the book for all autumn and St. Martin's projects in kindergartens and with children's groups! The highlight of autumn for children is the St. Martin's parade. The days have become shorter, and dusk sets in early. Colorful autumn leaves lie in the garden, the wind blows, and the kite soars into the sky. Now is the time to get cozy in a warm room, enjoy a cup of tea, listen to the stories of St. Martin by candlelight, and sing lantern songs. Lanterns are crafted, role plays are tried out, and baking takes place. Each institution has developed its own rituals for this time, especially for the St. Martin's festival. Some of these are unchangeable, while others could be modified. With new children and their families each year comes the challenge of rethinking these rituals and possibly combining them with new elements.
