“Thanks to a fairy tale, a child learns about the world not only with his mind, but also with his heart.” V.A. Sukhomlinsky
A fairy tale is a necessary element of a child’s spiritual life. Entering the world of miracles and magic, the child plunges into the depths of his soul. Fairy tales, introducing children to the circle of extraordinary events and transformations that occur with their heroes, express deep moral ideas. They teach kindness towards people, show high feelings and aspirations. Meeting children with fairy tale heroes will not leave them indifferent. As a result of empathy, the child acquires not only new knowledge, but also, most importantly, a new emotional attitude towards the environment: people, objects, phenomena. From fairy tales, children draw a lot of knowledge: their first ideas about time and space, about the connection between man and nature, the objective world.
The “Visiting a Fairy Tale” project is carried out as an exciting, playful, creative activity aimed at enhancing communication between children and adults. An integrated approach allows you to develop in unity the child’s speech, cognitive activity, creativity, communication skills, and emotional responsiveness.
The project is aimed at nurturing a love for fairy tales and developing the creative abilities of preschoolers through organizing joint activities between children and adults (parents, teachers).
Statement of the problem: nowadays, most children are brought up not on fairy tales, but on modern cartoons. Most parents don't have time to sit down with their child and read a book. Child psychologists consider this a big omission of adults in raising their children.
Data obtained during a survey of preschool children and parents indicate that very little time is devoted to reading children's books at home. But in fact, a fairy tale is one of the most ancient means of moral and aesthetic education, and also forms the behavioral stereotypes of future members of adult society. Therefore, we decided to devote a little more time to fairy tales in the development and upbringing of our children.
Justification of the problem: adults (parents, teachers) do not give due importance to the important role of fairy tales in raising children.
The relevance of the project is determined by the fact that its implementation includes the use of various forms of joint activities of children and adults (teachers, parents): a family creative competition of fairy tales of their own composition “Once upon a time ...”, theatrical creative performances by teachers of the preschool educational institution “Parade of Fairy Tales”.
The novelty of the project lies in the use of various types of joint creative activities of children and adults.
Project goal: revealing the value of joint creativity of project participants through the development of sustainable interest in a fairy tale as a work of art, creating conditions for the realization of the creative potential of project participants.

Pedagogical project “Journey along fairy-tale paths”
For children of senior preschool age from 6-7 years old
Explanatory note
The problem of moral education and social health of the younger generation has always aroused increased interest of society. Starting from preschool age, it is necessary to form spirituality and culture in the younger generation, which are based on universal moral principles. Fiction serves as a powerful and effective means of moral and spiritual education of children. Numerous studies by A.N. Vinogradova, R.S. Bure confirm that children vividly, emotionally and trustingly perceive fairy tales, poems, and stories read to them. Folk tales carry folk wisdom, develop in children a negative attitude towards evil, intolerance towards injustice, teach them to be kind, brave, and sympathetic. The fairy tale often lives on in children's games. They happily turn into little hares and a cunning fox. With the help of a dramatized plot, children accumulate bright and clear visual impressions, judgments and emotions arise, vocabulary is activated, and creative activity is formed. Through fairy tales and stories, children master the language of their people, get acquainted with their native nature, customs, way of life, and learn to overcome difficulties. To implement the regional component, it became necessary to include in the content of the project familiarization of children with the works of Siberian writers.
The project “Journey along fairy-tale paths” based on fairy tales of the peoples of the world and fairy tales of Siberian writers, is intended for work with children of older preschool age (5-7 years).
