The work shows how children's folkloric artistic expression could encourage creativity and expression in pre-school age. Children's creativity realizes when children express their impressions through movement, paintings and making up the stories. It is a challenge for the educator to choose a method for encouraging the creativity and curiosity. Many kinds of folkloric artistic expression as well as folklore are part of the children's creativity since children created them, preformed them and accepted them. Since children have extreme ability to perceive and velocity of seeing, it is advisable to offer them a lot of already existing written and systematized folkloric material and to enrich then additionally emotionally with a help of family competencies. The project „Let's Give the Children Roots and Wings“, in the kindergarten Prečko in Zagreb served as a positive method for realization of goals related to the children's folkloric artistic expression and creativity. Educational project of Ethnographic museum Zagreb and Radio Kaj started to realize by providing traditional wooden toys (included in UNESCO's representative list of protected cultural inheritance) to children in kindergartens and children's homes. The action „ Let's Give the Children Roots and Wings“ joined older groups in the realization of the project. Activities lasted the whole pedagogical year, in the livingroom space, anteroom of the kindergarten and in the kindergarten’s courtyard. The handover of the sets with traditional toys continues further. Depending on the children's and educator's interests, activities related to traditional artistic expression are present also in the younger groups. Through children's folkloric artistic expression it was noticed that the children with weaker social competencies manage to make a contact with their peers with more success. Folk costumes, hairdos and headstalls, songs and dances, playing, games and drawing of the folkloric motives served for the improvisation and creation of new work as well as performance of already known plays with singing, counters, lullabies and gibers which are the part of the folkloric content. As the result of all the activities it was confirmed that children are directed and focused on creative process and are extremely motivated for new activities and gaining knowledge. Individualy or in groups they enrich the impression by creating a foundation on which they creatively upgrade their own creative potential. During integrating activities it is specially encouraged the development of fine motor skills, speach, rhythm and intonation of the melody in complete spontaneous content. Children get the knowledge of culture and customs of their nation by listening to the music of folkloric content and by dancing some of the famous native dances.
