In Finland, kids grow up with a spirit of adventure right from the start. They're encouraged to explore the forests, lakes, and even the city streets with curiosity and excitement. From a young age, Finnish children learn to climb trees, build forts, and play games outside in all kinds of weather—snow or shine! One of the coolest things about being a kid in Finland is that they're taught to embrace small risks. Whether it's learning to ski on snowy hills, jump into icy lakes or even try new foods like salty licorice (salmiakki), Finnish kids are encouraged to try new things without worrying too much about small bumps or scrapes along the way.
