Coming to this world the child starts its interaction with the people and the things around them. The toys with which we are stimulating the children to get a reaction are important for their quality development. The toy should wake the interest in child. Their role is to develop the child’s competences for the further development. This master thesis has concentrated on the traditional toys and games which were used by our elders. The activities conducted in the kindergarten groups are very popular amongst the children. These activities were conducted during one year where children got to know their tradition and customs. The result of this thesis is for children to get to know the culture, the tradition and the ways with which they can make the toys they like. The kindergarten teacher is competent to help a child develop their capabilities and knowledge which will help them in their future life. Thanks to the Ethnographic museum in Zagreb we own a big collection of the children’s traditional wooden toys. Through the conducted activities the children got to know the history and their tradition, have more knowledge and are richer for one more experience.
