Two folk tales, translated into verse by Zaryana and Nina Nekrasov, are both a pleasant holiday with children and educational activities. They can be used in different ways. – Read your favorite fairy tale to your child in this author’s translation. He will remember the rhyming lines easily, and will soon begin to help - “read” with you. - Show mini-performances to the baby. And then act out funny scenes with him. - Play and role-play. Such home performances can be done in different ways: with the baby’s toys, in a “finger theatre”, by arranging a shadow or table theater. – Put on a real performance – in kindergarten or at school, or at home, with your children. Fairy tales staged by children always go with a bang. Theaters can be different. And children will take part in any of them with great pleasure. The types of children's theaters and how to prepare a performance are described in the appendix.
