1. Introduction to the Nature Discovery Corner

The Nature Discovery Corner is a dedicated experiential learning area for children, set within the green agricultural ecosystem of Queen Farm+.

Here, children get to:

• Interact directly with plants, soil, water, and insects
• Observe the daily wonders of life in nature
• Learn through real, hands-on discovery activities
• Experience the pure joy of encountering something new in the natural world

This open, lush, safe, and welcoming space allows every child to explore at their own pace.

2. Objectives of the Nature Discovery Corner

This learn-through-play zone at Queen Farm+ is built around four core values:

✔ Stimulate Natural Curiosity

Children learn best when they wonder and explore with their own hands and eyes.

✔ Develop Observation and Analytical Thinking

By watching plants, soil, and insects, children begin to form early scientific thinking.

✔ Build Essential Outdoor Life Skills

Walking independently, exploring freely, taking notes, and finding answers – skills rarely gained in a traditional closed classroom.

✔ Nurture a Love for Nature and Environmental Responsibility

It all starts with small habits: not picking leaves unnecessarily, avoiding litter, and watering plants correctly.

3. Highlight Activities at the Nature Discovery Corner

3.1. Journey Through the Dragon Fruit Ecosystem

In Queen Farm+’s vast orchards, children will:

• Identify the different parts of a dragon fruit plant
• Learn how the plant grows over time
• Observe buds, flowers, and fruit at every stage
• Listen to the story “From Dragon Fruit Blossom to Your Table”

This activity shows children that clean, healthy food begins with simple, everyday natural processes.

3.2. Exploring the World of Insects

Children are fascinated when they can see up close:

• Bees, butterflies, and dragonflies
• Ants, ladybugs, and beetles
• The important role each insect plays in the ecosystem

Every child receives a mini magnifying glass for detailed observation – an exciting and unforgettable experience.

3.3. Experiments with Water, Soil, and Sunlight

Some of the fun hands-on experiments include:

• Testing soil texture and porosity
• Watching how water moves through soil
• Learning to water plants “just right – efficiently and effectively”
• Discovering why sunlight helps plants grow

Basic science concepts are taught through playful, easy-to-understand experiments.

3.4. “Nature’s Mystery Box” – Learn While Playing

Children work in small teams and take on challenges such as:

• Touch-and-guess natural objects: leaves, fruit skins, seeds, loose soil, pebbles, etc.
• Comparing the scents of different herbs
• Identifying white-, red-, and purple-flesh dragon fruit by taste and appearance

These games sharpen the senses and improve memory.

3.5. Recording Discoveries in the “Little Explorer’s Notebook”

Each child receives their own notebook to:

• Write down what they observe
• Draw plants, flowers, and insects
• Jot down questions to ask the guides

This practice develops analytical thinking and descriptive skills.

4. Benefits for Children

The Nature Discovery Corner delivers lasting, meaningful benefits:

✔ Sparks Observation Skills and Scientific Thinking

Children learn to ask questions and find answers on their own.

✔ Promotes Physical Activity and Mental Well-Being

Time outdoors is far better than hours in front of screens.

✔ Builds Independence and Environmental Responsibility

Children grow to cherish every seedling and green space.

✔ Fosters Positive Emotions

Being close to nature makes children happier and more open-hearted.
