Children easily perceive folklore motifs, images and
themes, because their artistic thinking is close to the
aesthetic categories of folklore. It is fantastic, comic,
heroic, magical. Children's curiosity, their thirsty mind,
their awake senses make them particularly sensitive to
everything that surrounds them.
Holidays have a great educational significance. With
their form and content, they contribute to the overall
formation of the child's personality. Decoration,
costumes, music, dances cultivate aesthetic feelings.
The preparation of the holiday creates bright collective
experiences, an atmosphere of joy, sympathy and
friendliness. Understanding of some events is achieved
in accessible ways; children join the traditions of the
people. Interest in holidays becomes a prerequisite for
them to master norms of personal and social behavior,
they become attentive and responsive to each other.

traditional clothing. The regions are Aukštaitija (up in the highlands),
Žemaitija (over in the lowlands), Dzūkija (way down south), Suvalkija (a
battleground of old) and Mažoji Lietuva (Lithuania Minor).

Today's children are increasingly detached from
their roots. Folklore is an inexhaustible treasury
of wisdom, lessons and virtues. It creates a sense
of national belonging, of security and stability
through traditions and customs. It is accessible
for perception and stimulates the cognitive
activity of children. Therefore, it is an invaluable
source of education of personal qualities in
preschool age. That is why the inclusion of young
students to the national values and traditions of
their people, ethnicity is extremely important!
