People have had a need for artistic creation since ancient times. Evidence of this can be seen in numerous works created from the Paleolithic era to the present day. The same need for creation and expression is present in children from a very young age. Children can be inspired to engage in artistic creation by various motives and phenomena from their environment. Art education plays a significant role in children's development. Therefore, it is important to provide children with incentives to express themselves artistically. An important yet underrepresented stimulus in early childhood education institutions is artistic work. Educators have the task of introducing children to artistic works, which is impossible without proper preparation. In this work, I have chosen works of a Swiss artist Paul Klee as inspiration for children's artistic creation. He is considered one of the significant artists of the last century, known for his contributions to surrealism and leaving a lasting impact on art. Klee has a strong connection to children's artistic works, which serve as part of his inspiration. His play with lines, shapes, and colors resembles that of a child's. I have presented and briefly analyzed some of his works from different periods, styles, and techniques that best showcase Klee's creativity and diversity. For conducting activities in early childhood education institutions, I have selected five different works to serve as inspiration in the creative process. The planned activities were carried out in three different age groups: younger, middle, and older. The activities were done using drawing and painting techniques such as markers, watercolors, tempera, and collage. The resulting children's artworks have proven the benefits of using artistic works in working with preschool children. The selected works have been presented and briefly analyzed.
