In order to stimulate children's curiosity for learning new experiences and concepts, according to the principles of integrated teaching and project work, they are included in various research activities, in order to acquire new knowledge based on their own experience. Art creation enables children to observe, experience and document their surroundings. Encouraging children to engage in creative processes while introducing them to cultural heritage contributes to the development of their native identity and develops cognitive and socio-emotional processes in children. Material cultural heritage, in contrast to intangible, is especially understandable to children in the pre-operational stage of development, and it can be brought closer to children in a very interesting way through artistic creation. Activities were carried out with the older kindergarten group, on the topic of the Rudina archaeological site, where the Benedictine abbey of St. Mihovil was found, with a special emphasis on the Rudina heads, the most valuable and richest group of Romanesque plastic in continental Croatia. These are small stone consoles decorated with heads, figures, symbols.
