Il valore sociale del regalo: perché è importante e rende felici? - La stanza nel bosco
The social value of the gift: why is it important and makes you happy?
Let's detach ourselves from the materialistic vision of the gift and let's get closer to the ancient values ​​that warm the heart so much. Let's start with the children. They are conditioned by the continuous commercials, but let's ask ourselves if they have the same value as a simple game that aims to stimulate the creativity of the little one. An animal-shaped plush cushion, inspired by the magic of the woods, for example, can give life to new imaginative adventures, immersing the child in unique settings to share with any little brothers, mum and dad or with playmates.

Cicero and Seneca interpret the importance of the gift as a method of social and interpersonal interaction. The first in the De Officiis and the second in the De Beneficiis establish that the exchange of gifts is useful to the community to guarantee the safeguarding of relationships. Furthermore, Seneca argues that the benefit of the gift and happiness lie in expecting nothing in return, which helps to gain virtue and wisdom. Otherwise, one was moved solely and exclusively by ingratitude. Seneca states that a gift must be given with the heart and without any kind of arrogance, avoiding putting the recipient in difficulty.
Gite nel bosco con i bambini in Trentino: quali non perdere - La stanza nel bosco
Outings in the woods with children in Trentino: which ones not to be missed
Taking care of nature is essential, in order to be able to give your children a legacy of inestimable value: one way to do this is, for example, by contributing to donations for the protection of woodland and forest heritage, often plagued by enormous disasters such as Hurricane Vaia which in 2018 devastated large portions of forest in Trentino. Donating to help rebuild the Trentino woods is a noble gesture, a thought also dedicated to one's children and their future.


* the paths for little walkers, in the Comano Valley, in the shade of the Brenta Dolomites. It is a path that winds through the woods of Trentino, perfect for families to allow children to discover the local beauties and have fun. The route, structured along six paths, is inspired by six fairy tales created by the Judicaria Ecomuseum. Each track in the wood therefore becomes a journey that tickles the imagination of the little ones, allowing them to have fun, but also to discover the territory and local traditions in a playful way.


* The naturalistic path of Val Concei, in Ledro. A path completely immersed in nature dedicated above all to local biodiversity, perfect for escaping the summer heat, planning a nice trip with the children along the woods of Val Sorda and the countryside and barns of Palò. A truly wonderful path to walk with children, having fun discovering the sculptures in the trunks and relaxing in the beautiful local landscapes.


* The path of the Hidden Wood, in Daiano. In the setting of the Val di Fiemme, two routes unwind (one red, shorter, and one blue, longer lasting). The circular path, which allows you to discover the nature of the wood, ponds populated by frogs and tadpoles and the animals in the enclosures, is a themed path dedicated to the forest and its inhabitants. Along the way it is possible to take advantage of the meadows or areas equipped for packed meals.


* The path of the Gnomes in Valsugana. Perhaps the most enigmatic of all the themed trails in the region, this trail is actually branched into two trails: the red and the green. The key to enjoying the course at its best is not making noise; in this area it is possible to hear (and for the lucky ones, see) wild animals.

Perché il bosco è da sempre un luogo magico per i bambini? - La stanza nel bosco
Why has the forest always been a magical place for children?
The forest is a special environment, from many points of view and this is why young and old should frequent it often and let it enter their lives in many forms: not only through walks and free play but also with stories, drawings and games handcrafted, capable of preserving and handing down all its magic.

...At the basis of this forward-looking idea, there was the belief that being outdoors, as well as being incredibly healthy, guaranteed a better quality of life, both for children and for nature itself: learning to know and love the environment as children means becoming respectful adults.

...If in Europe this educational model is spreading like wildfire, in the East the same goal is being pursued through similar practices dedicated to children: we are talking about shinrin-yoku, the so-called forest bath, to immerse yourself in all effects in nature, rediscovering balance and deep inner well-being.
Giocare a fare finta: perché è così importante il gioco simbolico - La stanza nel bosco
Playing pretend: why symbolic play is so important
Importance of symbolic play for the child
The symbolic play activity can play an essential role as it allows you to enhance unexpressed and sometimes repressed skills which are instead indispensable for mental maturation.

Consequently, the structure of the game proceeds in parallel with the development of the child's personality, which begins to use imagination, creativity and intelligence to represent the contingency.

In any circumstance it would be appropriate to encourage such activities to encourage the mental and psycho-emotional development of children, who show a clear propensity for this type of entertainment from the age of 18 months.

It still happens very often that traditional toys are linked to specific stereotypes, almost always based on the division of the sexes (doll for females and tool stall for males). Symbolic play, on the other hand, has the fundamental advantage of overcoming this rigid distinction of roles, ensuring everyone has the most varied experiences, to offer the widest opportunity for choice in any circumstance.

The game of pretending, which is considered one of the most characteristic examples of symbolic play, is very important for the development of the child starting from 18 months of life.

Il NOSTRO PATTO CON GLI ALBERI È SOTTOSCRITTO NEL BOSCO - La stanza nel bosco
OUR PACT WITH THE TREES IS SIGNED IN THE FOREST
OUR PACT WITH THE TREES IS SIGNED IN THE FOREST,
Thanks to my commitment and to all the purchases made on the LA STANZA NEL BOSCO website, we have once again contributed this year with a donation that will contribute to reforestation and sustainability. We are now proud to be "keepers" of the Trentino forest 🌲
Our contribution will be remembered by engraving trunk sections, which will then be installed in the Paneveggio forest, above the stumps of those trees that were broken by the Vaia storm but which still remain anchored with their roots to the ground and hold it back.

Heartfelt thanks to those who have contributed by purchasing one of our handmade products in Trentino.
