2.3 Resources

The amplitude of resources is infinite, and this listing aims to help kindergarteners focus and can be easily increased as schools introduce digital transformation.

1. Children’s questions. They are important resources for using and developing activities in the classroom because they help schools pass on important cognitive, social, and emotional lessons while guaranteeing the meaningfulness of the educational process for the children themselves.
2. Books, Paintings, Sculptures, and Music. Books are often used to promote activities in Kindergartens, and similar work can be elicited using other artistic expressions. Even though the use of music, for instance, can be more challenging, it can also provide kindergarten teachers with an opportunity to challenge themselves and share that experience with the children.
3. Websites of various kinds. Besides Google (e.g. Google Earth), YouTube, and other online platforms, there are numerous websites that can be a source of inspiration and knowledge for children’s activities.
   • Some are YouTube channels of kindergarten teachers and authors who read from their books.
   • Others are professional photographers’ and artists’ webpages, for example:
     • Portraits of Children Around the World and Where They Sleep
     • Dimitris Lambridis
     • Elliott Erwitt
     • Gabriele Galimberti: Toy Stories, which appeared in These Kids Want to Show You Their Favorite Toys
   • Others are from museums and libraries and iconic monuments around the world, for example:
