A playful lesson book that integrates picture books and school subjects.
An effective way to connect and integrate the kindergarten and elementary school curriculum is through play.
To this end, authors Lee In-hee and Kang Jeong-ah, who teach picture book play classes, have published “Picture Book Play Classes from Infants to Elementary School” based on their field experience and the 2019 revised Nuri Curriculum for infants and the 2022 revised elementary school curriculum.
It is important to become familiar with books because project classes that integrate picture books and school subjects according to the child's interests increase the enjoyment of learning and the quality of education.
I hope this book will serve as a solid stepping stone for teachers who are concerned about providing happy education to children.
I also hope that parents of toddlers and elementary school children will read it.

Children look around while waiting for the school bus or taking the bus to kindergarten.
On the way to kindergarten or school, I look at facilities such as stores with curious eyes.
There are interconnected roads in the village, and various facilities related to daily life exist along the roads.
How can we easily find essential locations like supermarkets and hospitals? A project to create a village map is a good way to encourage children to become interested in and adapt to the society and world around them.
What facilities are located around the kindergarten (school)? How many routes are there from home to the kindergarten (school)? Which of the supermarkets and hospitals children frequently visit is farther from home? Let's create a neighborhood map to observe and explore the space we live in.
First, we find our town on a computer using satellite and regular maps and compare them.
Check the location of the kindergarten (school) and surrounding facilities on the map and visit the site with the children.
How about starting a 'village map' activity by taking pictures with the children and drawing pictures of the shops?
