Forest kindergartens in Poland are a relatively new, alternative concept of pre-school education functioning in the form of educational projects. The aim of this article is to present the health and educational values of forest kindergartens in the context of life in the technology-grounded reality of the 21st century. In the text I pay special attention to two phenomena: physical activity deficit syndrome and nature deficit syndrome.
