This study examine how pedagogues work to develop children's knowledge and understanding of animals based on the Reggio Emilia philosophy. To answer the questions at hand interviews with six pedagogues were held. This studies result showed that the most common approach of teaching was to use the forest. The pedagogues found it important to follow the children’s own interests and let their curiosity lead their work forward. They looked into what different animals needed to survive. The pedagouges linked many of the curriculum's different goals into the childrens work with animals. The pedagogues perceived this work as giving it a broad and clear picture of the animal that gave the children knowledge and understanding of the animals. The study's conclusion shows that the pedagogues consider that the work becomes more meaningful and rewarding for the children if they show curiosity and interest.
