Purified in content and form on the way from generation to generation it means universal art form that takes a baby and little child into the world of games, ritual and related arts and culture. In it the various related art forms live on, and in content the fingerplay can be connected with literally all areas of the curriculum for preschool. How can fingerplay in the first age group offer children challenges in the field of art, language, movement, society, nature, and mathematics?
