My grandson is going to what we call an outdoor kindergarten. This means that they are more outdoors than indoors and one of the places they stay is in this Lavvo. Inside there are small benches all around and an open fire in the middle. Even in the winter they use this place and sometimes they do sausages over the open fire.
Lavvu (or Northern Sami: lávvu, Skolt Sami: kååvas, Inari Sami: láávu, Finnish: umpilaavu or laavu, Norwegian: lavvo or sametelt, and Swedish: kåta) is a temporary dwelling used by the Sami people of northern Scandinavia. It has a design similar to a Native American tipi but is less vertical and more stable in high winds. It enables the indigenous cultures of the treeless plains of northern Scandinavia and the high arctic of Eurasia to follow their reindeer herds. It is still used as a temporary shelter by the Sami, and increasingly by other people for camping.
