About This Book

An experienced kindergarten teacher provides practical guidance for parents and teachers on celebrating the season and on using toys, songs, stories, and classroom materials to nurture young children's imagination, observation, and self-activity. The essays recommend age-appropriate, simple, durable playthings and suggest constructive occupations—blocks, sand, modeling, and storytelling—while outlining wholesome ways to mark Christmas, including carols, Santa traditions, and Bible tales. Short stories and a song for different ages accompany pedagogical reflections that stress creative play and moral formation.
