A child is a researcher from birth and from the first day of life strives to discover things and phenomena in his environment, their interconnectedness and its impact on them. It is easy to notice the child's need for inventiveness and creativity in such behavior. Despite different definitions of the concept of creativity, theories recognize the same essence, or characteristics of creativity. The creative individual notices, experiences and combines things in a new, fresh, unusual way, and the creative individual produces new, unusual ideas and actions. The importance of creativity and its encouragement in the upbringing and education of preschool children is evident in the National Curriculum of Early and Preschool Education (2014), whose principles are based on the belief that every child is a creative being with specific creative and expressive potential, a component of the entire educational process of the kindergarten and is woven into all segments of the curriculum. In addition, it is clear that creativity and play are interrelated, because through play the child finds and expresses his originality, fluency, ability to reshape, analyze, synthesize and connect the parts as a whole. In order to carry out any form of educational activities with children, it is necessary to understand childhood as a period of rapid and complex development, as well as that the influences from early childhood affect later development; and the child as a unique and complete being with its own individual developmental characteristics. Furthermore, children learn best in play and with research and other activities that are purposeful for them, thus strengthening their self-organizing, research and discovery potential. To enable them to do so, it is necessary to serve them the entire, stimulating human and subject environment. That is, to provide them with stimulating research - cognitive subjects and activities that encourage research and development of children's knowledge, thoughts and experiences about certain things and phenomena in their environment.
