In this study, with the aim of creating perspectives that can be implemented in the educational setting where early childhood and elementary school education are linked, we developed teaching materials targeting preschoolers and conducted practical lessons. In addition, after the completion of the lessons, an analysis of the artworks created by the preschoolers was conducted. The analysis of the artworks included looking into the colors and shapes used, as well as the creativity involved in expressing themselves. From examining the results of the two practical implementations, it became evident that when conducting handicraft practices with a focus on early childhood and elementary school collaboration, it’s essential to initiate “play” based on the established structure and to consider the potential evolution from activities and materials based on set objectives.
