Kate MiddletonandPrince Williamjust discovered something new to try withPrince George,Princess CharlotteandPrince Louisduring their outdoor adventures.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, both 41, visited Madley Primary School’s forest school on Thursday, finding out about the program to help students learn while spending time outside.
While sitting around the campfire, the schoolchildren snacked on apples covered in cinnamon and sugar that they held over the flames.
“It’s like a healthy marshmallow,” Kate said, according toHello!magazine. “It always tastes so much better whenever you cook something on the fire. I’ve seen 1,000 marshmallows around the fire, but I’ve never seen a sugar-dipped apple.”
Prince William added that the treats smelled “delicious.”

On Thursday, Prince William and Princess Kate also joined the children in skimming bark off logs and sawing some lumber for a tree den — and Kate even popped inside for a look!
According to theschool’s website, “Forest school is a fully integrated part of our curriculum and is accessible to all year groups, not just building dens but finding out about ecology, experiencing writing in the woods, construction from natural materials, using equipment safely, using knives correctly and enjoying a stimulating environment.”
