What are the traditional folk arts that enter kindergartens in China?

The baby rings the bell, rings the bell, wears the tiger hat sewn by grandma, wears tiger shoes and pig shoes, plays with all kinds of puppets, and flies kites when he grows up.

In the traditional society of China, all kinds of folk arts have been accompanied by children's childhood. Children grow up in close contact with folk art, especially folk toys: babies ring bells, ring bells, wear tiger's head hats sewn by grandma, wear tiger's head shoes and pig's head shoes, play with all kinds of puppets, and fly kites when they grow up. ...

Nowadays, children go to kindergarten early every day. After a day of intense activities, they are busy with various interest classes: piano, English, dance, painting, hosting ... Children are forced to catch up with the times and have little time to play.

Even if they have a little time, the toys that fill their lives are Barbie dolls, transformers and remote-controlled cars ... Special folk arts and crafts activities are rarely seen in the daily activities of kindergartens, and it is difficult to find traces of folk arts and crafts in children's textbooks.

Children play with high-grade electric toys and rarely touch the most primitive straw and clay sculpture; Watching imported cartoons, I have rarely heard of shadow play.

We can't help asking: does folk art belong only to the past times and only to the lives of children in the past? Are mud toys, dough figurines, origami, paper-cutting and shadow play that used to bring infinite joy to children really out of date? As kindergarten teachers, should they be reintegrated into their children's lives? With such questions, we have carried out exploration and research on this subject.

In order to let children know and appreciate folk art from an early age, it is necessary to create an environment with folk art characteristics for children, in which education plays an important role. Kindergarten activities are the main way to realize children's education, and should undertake the important task of cultivating children's sense of identity and interest in folk art. Our research group tries to investigate and analyze the current situation of children's cognition of folk art in this kindergarten, and select appropriate content according to the actual situation and the local characteristics of Shaanxi to explore effective ways to carry out folk art in kindergarten art activities. We intend to take this topic as a breakthrough and explore the implementation scheme of folk art in kindergarten art education through research.
