Can toys encourage children to talk about themselves?
Children’s favourite toys become a valuable opportunity to talk about themselves and discover new things about each other. At home children (with the help of the parents) will take a picture of their favourite soft toy. At school, then, with the educators, children will tell what they like and why they chose that toy in various episodes of a podcast. Each photo will be then linked to a Qr code to create an “art” exhibition with the toys and their “stories” in Kindergarten.
