Children and Creativity - I
School and Childhood
Franco Cigarini
"From reality to fantasy from fantasy to reality", "It is me it isn't me I am whoever I want" is written on some of the panels for the "Child Ingenuity, Toy and Book and Teaching Material Exhibition" held at the Diana Kindergarten in Reggio Emilia, placed downtwn along Viale Allegri. The school wanted to send a signal to the city by opening its gates and showing the activities carried out with the children. Activities which want to highlight the expressive potential within children as it happens in its sections "The Storyteller's Game" and "Fantastica's Games, Stories About Proposed Topics". On this last bill the story of the word "ciao" is brought, told by one of the children and even wouted in the famous book "Fantasy Grammar" by Gianni Rodari.
