Children's folklor events in Croatia

Rad se bavi problematikom nedovoljne zastupljenosti folklora i tradicijske glazbe u dječjim vrtićima. Uzrok tome je nedovoljna edukacija i motivacija odgojitelja kao prenosioca svijesti o tradiciji na djecu. Upravo zato se ističe važnost folklornih manifestacija kao “promotora” folklora i tradicije u vremenima moderne glazbe i modernih trendova. U radu su predstavljeni oblici dječjeg stvaralaštva koji se mogu provoditi kroz aktivnosti u vrtiću. Njima se potiče dječja mašta i kreativnost te stvara ljubav prema tradiciji, baštini i domovini. Upravo predškolska ustanova je idealno mjesto gdje bi se trebalo poticati i provoditi različite aktivnosti koje će pomoći u očuvanju tradicijskih vrijednosti.The paper deals with the problem of insufficient representation of folklore and traditional music in kindergartens. The reason for this is the insufficient education and motivation of educators as a transmitter of awareness of tradition to children. That is why the importance of folklore events as "promoters" of folklore and tradition in the times of modern music and modern trends is emphasized. The paper presents forms of children's creativity that can be carried out through activities in kindergartens. They stimulate children's imagination and creativity and create a love for tradition, heritage and homeland. Pre-school institution is an ideal place where various activities should be encouraged and carried out, which will help with the preservation of traditional values
