Project name: Shawl Theater;
Type of project: educational-creative, role-playing;

Project goal : Development of the child’s personal qualities, his creativity through joint theatrical activities with adults;
Relevance:
A full-fledged education of a child of primary preschool age is possible only if the child is psychologically comfortable in the process of communicating with peers, adults in kindergarten and family.
When a child enters kindergarten, it becomes stressful. Adaptation is difficult, with a lot of negative changes in the child’s body, which is manifested in the child’s behavior. When a child enters kindergarten, an adaptation period begins not only for him, but also for his parents.
The situation of protracted adaptation of children and parents to the conditions of preschool educational institutions does not contribute to the full development of children. Therefore, there is a need to facilitate the adaptation period. This can be done by achieving emotional comfort for children and involving parents in the educational process through joint theatrical activities with children. Therefore, it becomes especially important to create conditions for theatrical activities on the territory of the kindergarten.
One of the most effective means of developing and educating a child in early preschool age is theater and theatrical games.
Play is the leading activity of preschool children, and theater is one of the most democratic and accessible forms of art, which allows solving many pressing problems of pedagogy and psychology related to artistic and moral education, the development of personal communicative qualities, the development of imagination, fantasy, initiative and etc.
Theatrical activity is a source of development of feelings, deep experiences of the child, and introduces him to spiritual values. They develop the child’s emotional sphere, make him sympathize with the characters, and, in addition, allow him to develop the experience of social behavior skills due to the fact that every literary work or fairy tale for preschool children always has a moral orientation.
In the process of theatrical play, the child’s vocabulary is activated, the sound culture of his speech and its intonation structure are improved, which is very important at this age. The role played and the spoken lines put the child in front of the need to express himself clearly, distinctly, and intelligibly. His dialogic speech and its grammatical structure improve.
I wanted to bring a fresh twist to my work, to create a doll that would help solve all pedagogical problems.
Scarf dolls are bright and spectacular and are a real decoration for theatrical productions and children's leisure time, as a surprise moment in any activity.
Scarf dolls enrich children with vivid impressions, develop creativity, memory, thinking, speech, imagination, attention, and also expand children's horizons. By playing with these dolls, children become proactive and sociable.
