Diploma with the title Toy making in kindergarten is composed of theoretic and empiric part. In theoretic part are presented general developmental characteristics of preschool children. Afterwards diploma dealt with the characteristics of creative adults and creative children. I also presented elements of active learning. It was very important to define the conception of play and toy in relation to various types of plays and toys. Diploma also dealt with materials for making toys such as wood, paper and other artificial materials. At the end of theoretic part I presented a child and techniques, technical education and how to maintain safe activities.
Through planned and performed activities in empiric part of my diploma I have established that children from age 3 to age 4 are, to some extent, able to make a toy, but they need a little stimulation and help of an adult. During activities children showed a great deal of interest, creativity, persistence and joy. At the end I wrote my findings and presented some of them through a diagram.
According to my findings and observations I can say that children conquered unknown things fast, such as glass sandpaper. Children were motivated for activities. In my opinion children showed the best they could. Once the toys were made, the perception towards toys was different, because children knew how much effort they put into making those toys.
