Folklore represents creative expressions rooted in the tradition of a cultural community, expressing the cultural and social identity of that community. Traditional dances are authentic, original, and aesthetically valuable forms of cultural expression, transmitted orally. They are part of customs, rituals, and community life, symbolizing the collective life of a nation. Each region has its specific dances that reflect the lifestyle and identity of the area. They play a significant role in children's lives and are increasingly desired in their education, although their presence in education is still low. However, traditional dances have many benefits and positive effects on child development. They shape body movements, foster creativity, develop selfconfidence, and a sense of belonging to a group. They are authentic, original, and aesthetically valuable, representing a form of communication, lifestyle, and national identity. Learning traditional dances allows children to connect with culture and identity and preserve cultural heritage for future generations while positively impacting the overall well-being of children. The importance of children's folklore creation and its components are emphasized. Traditional children's games, rhymes, and songs are essential as they promote musical-linguistic communication, develop musical abilities, socialization, and children's creativity. They express children's way of perceiving reality and deeply rooted tradition. Of course, in working with children, the selection of appropriate dances, adjusting the intensity of work, and gradually mastering the steps are crucial. Children should start with local traditional dances to develop their unique dance style and authentically interpret dance traditions. Therefore, all examples of children's creation come from the Zagorje region, just like the project example that implements traditional dances and children's folklore creation in education. This project serves as an indication of how traditional dances can easily be integrated into education and the multitude of positive effects they bring to children. Although there is currently a lack of such examples, it is hoped that their number will increase in the future and that existing examples will encourage teachers to actively cultivate traditional dances and culture in education, which is precisely the goal of this work.
