Where to begin
You can compose fairy tales casually, on the go. After all, when your hands are busy with housework, your head is free for creativity. The child will be happy to participate in the development of a fairy tale plot and in the game, quietly expand his vocabulary, consolidate the grammatical structure of speech, and, most importantly, practice the art of storytelling (oral monologue speech).
You can write fairy tales about anything, even about vegetables and household utensils, but first practice on “simple” material. There are different “recipes” for organizing such creative training. How you use them depends on the age of the child. A child over 4 years old can compose together with an adult, and a 5-6 year old can already compose quite freely on his own, and the adult’s task is to give impetus to composing. Much depends on his and your creative capabilities, the conditions in which you will start writing (whether it will be in a specially allotted time or you will have to write while doing other things, or maybe while on the road).
Child from one to two years old
At the age of one to one and a half years, the complete unity of the baby with his mother explodes from the inside. Two independent people appear: the baby and the mother. The crisis of the first year of life lies in the child’s awareness of this change. At this age, the little person acquires a certain degree of independence: the first words, the first independent steps, the first conscious actions with objects. However, the baby's range of capabilities is still very limited.
At this age, the child’s words are still situational. His speech is already a means of communication and expression of desires and emotions. At the same time, it is still devoid of constant meanings - the same word or combination of sounds can be used to name a wide variety of objects, actions or phenomena.
The child himself is not able to find out how to properly use this or that object. How to hold a spoon? How to put on glasses? How to use a comb? Therefore, in almost every action that a child performs with this or that object, there is, as it were, an adult who shows and explains to the child the essence of the object. Therefore, communication at this age becomes a form of organizing objective activity . It continues to develop extremely intensively and becomes not only emotional, but also verbal.
A fairy tale for a child from one to two years old becomes longer in time. The story can last as long as it takes to study an interesting subject; the plot includes the active actions of the child himself. The game can be completed at any time as soon as the little listener has lost interest, and can be returned to it another time when a mutual desire arises.
Through fairy tales, norms of behavior, necessary self-service skills, as well as a general broadening of one’s horizons can be taught. At this age, fairy tales associated with certain rituals may appear. For example, a fairy tale that accompanies the process of brushing your teeth.
Once upon a time there lived little teeth in a house-mouth. And there were them... Open up, little house mouth! ... one, two, three, four, five, six, seven... The teeth decided to invite a brush to visit them. And the brush called with it some paste and a glass of water. They came and began to greet each tooth, the brush rubbed each one with its bristles on one side and the other, and on the back too. The teeth are ticklish and they laugh. After the brush came some water and rinsed each tooth. The teeth became clean and shiny. This is where the fairy tales end, and the one who listened will have strong and healthy teeth!
"Finish the fairy tale"
We need to give the child a task - to come up with an ending for the fairy tale. Your goal will be to develop the ability to logically complete a story, the ability to comprehend what is perceived and correctly complete a thought, and to activate your vocabulary. So, you offer your child a simple plot of several sentences. For example: “Once a boy Styopa went into the forest to pick mushrooms. Styopa met a squirrel in the forest - it waved its fluffy tail at him and galloped off along the tree branches. He also came across a hare, but the little cowardly hare immediately hid in the bushes - he got scared. Styopa collected a lot of mushrooms and ate a lot of strawberries. So he walked through the forest, walked and wandered into a place completely unfamiliar to him. At first the boy was a little scared, but then he remembered that he was very brave (otherwise how could he go into the forest alone?) and began to look around. Styopa looks around to understand where he ended up, and suddenly sees... "
Here you turn to the child with a request to finish the fairy tale in accordance with its meaning. If difficulties arise, you can help him with leading questions: “What did the boy see? What was he collecting? What could have happened to him in the forest? Who could help Styopa get out of the forest? It is very important to react emotionally to every answer the child finds (surprise, joy, fear, etc.), thus developing an emotional attitude towards what is being written and the skill of conveying emotions in speech.
You can organize a competition of different options for ending a fairy tale: each of you can offer several options, and then you will discuss them together. The last stage plays an important role in the development of logical thinking and the ability to perceive and continue a started thought. In the future, the child can tell someone the fairy tale he has written and illustrate it with drawings. After creating several such endings for your simple stories (don’t try to come up with a complex beginning, it should be very simple), you will see that your child is capable of independently composing the ending of a fairy tale, without leading questions.
Thesis 6. Place of action
Where should the fairy tale take place? Yes, anywhere. Starting from an unknown remote island and even another planet and ending with your own home, where every little thing is familiar. This will further arouse the interest of the child, who will suddenly look at his own things from a different angle.
What’s good about the second option is that you don’t need to go into detail describing the situation. A child will understand what we are talking about after a couple of hints, since he knows the situation down to the smallest detail. The more interesting it is.
If events occur outside a familiar environment, then there can be many variations. Immerse the main characters in the most incredible circumstances:
- The sun scorches with light, low heavy clouds literally press travelers to the ground;
- The heat dries you down to the bones, and the deadly cold turns you into a lifeless block of ice;
- A hurricane wind carries you into the distance, and the depths of the sea drag you into the abyss.
Well, the living fairy-tale world can be completely shocking: water talks, trees run, mirrors turn inside out, showing the past, and local animals not only walk on their heads, but also make a bunch of incomprehensible sounds. At the same time, the main character understands them perfectly, and this makes the fairy tale even funnier.
Important: But having the opportunity to come up with anything, you should not pile up a lot of different and colorful things in one fairy tale. This will blur the overall picture, and behind the kaleidoscope of diversity, the child will lose the main educational line of the fairy tale. Therefore, if, for example, in a fairy tale there are talking objects (a briefcase), then all events should happen around it and with it.
Essay based on a series of pictures
For such an activity, you will have to select a suitable series of pictures in advance. For example, pictures from manuals on speech development, which make up a series of illustrations on a single subject. For these purposes, it is convenient to use speech therapy albums, various manuals and primers. If a child does not attend kindergarten, he definitely needs such exercises: it is this type of work that causes difficulties for children when entering school. From time to time, didactic material needs to be updated, new options for working with old pictures need to be invented. An essay based on pictures will be indispensable both on a long journey and during a child’s illness, when you need to keep him in a relatively motionless and calm state for some time.
The purpose of this task is to help you see the colorfulness and brightness of the images created in the picture; develop the ability to correctly select verbs and adjectives to describe characters. You have to teach your child to build a plot in a logically correct sequence, to characterize the place and time of action - this should contribute to the development of the child’s imagination and creative thinking. When looking at the first drawing with your child, draw the child’s attention to what kind of area is depicted in the drawing: “Who (what characters) do you see here? What are they doing? Where are they located? What is the situation around them? What time of year (day)? What signs indicate this? When using illustrations for fairy tales, you must definitely draw the child’s attention to the fact that the plot of the pictures is fairy-tale (for example, a mouse is playing with a balloon, etc.).
The beginning of the fairy tale is compiled from the first picture (“Once upon a time...”). The second picture is examined in more detail: the adult draws the child’s attention to smaller objects: “What do you think this is? I wonder why he (she, it) is needed here?” An adult can help come up with names for the characters, ask which character you especially liked and why. In the process of working with pictures, you need to react emotionally to children's remarks, helping in composing a fairy tale and describing the characters, and asking leading questions at a dynamic pace. When the fairy tale is invented, you can invite the child to tell it to one of his relatives, and also tell the listeners about the process of its creation.
Excursion into the history of TRIZ
TRIZ stands for “the theory of inventive problem solving.” It was invented by Genrikh Saulovich Altshuller (1926-1998), known not only as an inventor, but also as a science fiction writer. He published his literally and figuratively fantastic works under the pseudonym Genrikh Altov. His “Alpha Eridani” was dearly loved by our mothers and grandmothers, and in general the annals of Russian science fiction were replenished with several dozen of his works [G. Altov, 1960].
Work on the theory of solving inventive problems began after the Second World War. Soon, Rafael Borisovich Shapiro (1926-1993) joined the research activities, who also gained fame not only as an inventor, but also as a writer, writing under the pseudonym Rafail Bakhtamov. His adventure story “The Lord of the Oxy-World” [R. Bakhtamov, 1965].
This symbiosis of writing and invention in working on TRIZ led to an interesting result. First of all, the authors of TRIZ considered it necessary to change the psychology of invention, and only then talk about the technological side of the process. They outlined their views in the work “On the Psychology of Inventive Creativity” [G. Altshuller, R. Shapiro, 1956]. And only later the book “Introduction to TRIZ. Basic concepts and approaches", which went through several reprints [G. Altshuller, 2011].
The authors pay a lot of attention to the need to correctly formulate the problem in order to immediately eliminate solutions that are not very effective and promising. In general, TRIZ is based on several dozen techniques and standard solution templates suitable for a wide range of tasks. All that remains is to choose the most suitable ones. How to choose? But for this you need to work on developing thinking using the TRIZ method, and from early childhood.
Since we are talking about children, and the youngest ones at that, we can’t do without fairy tales. How are fairy tales for children used in TRIZ? In the TRIZ methodology, fairy tales are not only listened to and told. Children themselves become authors, because in TRIZ, writing fairy tales is the same natural process as memorizing poems, letters and numbers in traditional education, only more interesting. How does composing a fairy tale take place in TRIZ?
This, of course, creative process is divided into components understandable to children, from which, like a wall of bricks, a real fairy tale grows. Of course, young writers cannot do without the help of adults. And the most interesting thing about this is that using TRIZ technology, absolutely any child can compose fairy tales!
Group essay
Why not have fun at a children's party or during family gatherings?
Several children participate at once. Children propose a theme, heroes of a fairy tale, an adult deals with the plot, involving the children in its development. The presence of several participants at once makes the composition of a fairy tale more diverse, interesting, and its content complete and deep. Involving other adults will only enrich the game. In the process of joint activity, the child gets a clear idea of what it means to come up with a fairy tale step by step. The game teaches him to compose phrases more clearly and thoughtfully, because the other participant must understand him in order to come up with his own continuation. First, offer to come up with a name for the fairy tale, characters, tell what they will be like, describe their appearance, mood. Then the fairy tale is “assembled” from the children’s answers to your questions: “Where does the fairy tale begin? How will events develop? (what happens next?) What will be the most poignant moment? Which one is the most interesting, funniest? How will the fairy tale end? Participants express their continuation answers in a chain, one after another. Changing questions during the process of composing a story activates children's attention. If children confidently cope with composing a fairy tale according to the proposed plan, you can offer additional questions, suggesting new directions for imagination. Invite the children to retell what they have already written, and involve them in discussing what others have written. The fairy tale you have written is worth writing down to read it the next day or when you meet friends again. You can invite children to compose a fairy-tale “series”.
Recommendations for adults
You can come up with a short fairy tale about animals together with your child. And then ask the child to draw characters or mold them from plasticine. Such a reminder of joint creativity will delight both the child and the adult. When writing fairy tales, you should follow simple rules.
Piglet Oink goes to kindergarten!
I composed this fairy tale about animals for my 3-year-old child before we went to kindergarten in order to interest him and speed up his adaptation to kindergarten.
This fairy tale is also instructive, as children are introduced to the number of days in a month and days in a week.
Even in the fairy tale, emphasis is placed on the names of the animals of mother and child (pig - piglet, sheep - lamb, horse - foal, cow - calf)
So, I present to your attention an instructive tale about animals that I invented:
re-enactment
Invite your child to “revive” the fairy tale: come up with costumes, develop the behavior of the characters in accordance with their personalities, think through the facial expressions, gestures, and intonation of each character. The purpose of such a task is to activate a creative attitude towards words. Creative comprehension should manifest itself in the ability to transform a verbal fairy-tale image into a dramatic one.
Collective creativity is also assumed here. Not only children, but also toys and dolls can play roles. Puppet theater characters can become irreplaceable helpers (such toys are sold in stores, but if you wish, you can create them yourself). The fairy tale chosen for dramatization can be composed or read earlier - in this case, creativity lies not in the creation, but in the embodiment of the plot. When assigning roles, the individual characteristics and capabilities of the children, as well as the toys used, are taken into account, and the characters’ personalities are discussed. All participants in the performance are involved in the rehearsal, even those who are not involved in a specific scene (they monitor whether the performance corresponds to the text of the role, help to find the most successful embodiment of the image, and participate in its “elaboration”). An important stage of preparation will be the production of scenery, which will attract the attention of little participants to those details that most often elude children's attention: the location of the action and its change, means of conveying the atmosphere of a fairy tale, mood (scary, dark or light, fun). The participation of adults in dramatization allows children to develop the ability to emotionally immerse themselves in a fairy tale, to creatively comprehend it, and the ability to create facial expressions and intonation (based on the embodiment of a verbal fairy tale image).
From “Kolobok” to “Harry Potter”: types and genres of fairy tales
Previously, before the advent of the media and television with the Internet, fairy tales were simply divided into fairy tales, about animals, and social and everyday ones. Now there are so many genres and types of fairy tales that no one can thoroughly understand them.
But still, I would decide in advance which direction you gravitate toward: children's, fairy tales, everyday tales (closely related to everyday life), mystical stories, folklore, humorous fairy tales, philosophical parables, fantasy stories, science fiction, and so on. .
Why is it worth paying more attention to genres? Because each has its own specifics, stylistic features and laws. For example, in a folk tale it is unacceptable to use modern vocabulary, unless you are planning a parody, and by the way, they are popular!
In general, by and large, there are no restrictions. But if you have a strong desire for a particular genre, the advice is the same as with age: read fairy tales and stories similar in style, note what you like and what you could use for your creativity. I am by no means calling for plagiarism. I encourage learning from the masters and I don’t see anything wrong with imitation in the early stages of creativity: all creative people grow from this.
A tale about a specific character
The plot of many fairy tales is built on the basis of the various actions of a character who goes through a path (performs actions) with a specific goal. At the same time, he interacts with other objects: overcomes obstacles, solves problems, changing himself and changing the environment. If, according to the plot of a fairy tale, the hero solves creative problems when interacting with the environment, has a specific goal, changes himself, draws conclusions from life lessons, then his actions lead to a positive result. Invite your child to choose a character, describe him, come up with a little adventure for him and tell him a fairy tale in the first person as a composed character. First, an adult can offer the child his own version of a fairy tale or its approximate plan: you need to think about which hero to choose (good or evil, lazy or hardworking, etc.); determine his character, motives and goals of actions; decide in what situation to place it (choice of location); describe the actions of the main character to achieve the goal (the hero wanted to achieve something and as a result...). Then it is summed up: how has the hero changed? A name is invented for the resulting fairy tale. Independently determining the hero and the goals of his actions, reasoning about the results he has achieved, formulating conclusions, as well as coming up with the name of a fairy tale - all these are conditions for the moral education of your child, conditions for the formation of his interpersonal communication skills.
A fairy tale on a given topic
The child is asked to compose a fairy tale on the proposed topic. This will require him to be able to act according to a given plan, to act within the framework of the proposed circumstances. Sometimes this approach makes the task easier: you just need to substitute words or sentences that are appropriate in meaning, but sometimes it can be very difficult to match someone else’s plan. Often these are the difficulties that children at home encounter when entering school.
When setting the theme of a fairy tale, formulate it in such a way that it emotionally prepares the child to write a fairy tale (the theme itself can already specify a fairy-tale character or suggest a fairy-tale situation). The result can be interesting if inanimate objects are used as a hero - for example, a bed or a bag. Draw the child’s attention to the interesting, entertaining content of the fairy tale, to its verbal presentation. In the future, watch how the child uses the learned words and expressions in independent creative activities.
In the process of composing a fairy tale, support the child’s initiative, stimulate the manifestation of imagination, and monitor how correctly the child understands your assignments and leading questions.
The Tale of Toys
Choose toys for the fairy tale, for example, a cat and a mouse, and start telling the story, accompanying the words with a display of actions: “Once upon a time there was a fluffy cat (you must stroke the pussy, showing its fluffy fur), the cat found out that the mouse had made a hole for itself in her house ( show an imaginary house of a cat and a mouse in a hole). So she began to watch over her. The cat steps quietly with its fluffy paws, you can’t hear her at all. The mouse ran out for a walk and ran far from the hole. And suddenly I saw a cat. The cat wanted to grab her. No such luck! The clever mouse darted into its hole.” Then invite your child to think about what toys he would like to talk about. In the process of performing such a task, the child’s vocabulary is activated (he more actively uses those words that he already knows, but does not yet use in his speech), coherent speech develops: the child selects the necessary definitions, forming the appropriate grammatical form of the adjective, and from this vocabulary material constructs a coherent statement. When answering questions, he pays attention to the characteristic features of the appearance of toys (color, shape, material), selects comparisons and definitions. Subsequently, encourage this type of creativity in your child’s play. Offer to make a drawing for a fairy tale, ask to tell (show) a fairy tale about toys to grandma or friends who come to visit.

A fairy tale is a small miracle, Life in the world is boring without it, Even when we are adults, We will not be able to forget the fairy tale. There are many different fairy tales on the planet, There is kindness and beauty in them, Children rejoice in wise fairy tales, Dreams always come true in them!
Yes, many interesting fairy tales have been written. And even more unwritten fairy tales - good, kind, smart. On this page you will find fairy tales invented by little storytellers - children of preschool and primary school age. About whom? Of course, about animals. About what? About the most important things: about friendship, about kindness, about mutual assistance.
The children of my senior group (MK Preschool Educational Institution Pavlovsk kindergarten No. 8, Voronezh region) wrote (with a little help from me and their parents) several fairy tales, which we combined into the collection “Autumn Tales of the Magic Forest.”
The children also came up with fairy-tale characters themselves and made illustrations for their fairy tales.
Autumn Tales of the Magic Forest
Saying or Let's get acquainted.
In one small Magic Forest there lived an old man named Lesovichok. He was very kind and wise. Lesovichok helped all forest dwellers. And there were a lot of them in the forest: Tortila the turtle, Thorn the hedgehog, Mrs. Katie the snake, Honey the bear, Jumpy the bunny, Owl the owl, Cutie the bird, Hitra the fox, Swan the swan. Lesovichok also made sure that people did not harm his forest: they did not litter, did not break trees, did not destroy birds’ nests, did not tear up primroses, and did not offend animals.

Berry jam
One day, Honey the Bear came to Lesovich, sad and very sad.
- What happened, Medok? - asked the old man - Why are you so sad?
— We quarreled with the cunning fox. I picked a whole basket of berries, and she ate them. And now we don’t talk to her.
"What to do? How to reconcile friends? - thought Lesovichok. He thought for a long time, but could not come up with anything. And then one day, when Lesovichok was putting things in order in the forest, he saw a whole clearing of wild berries. "Idea!" - he thought. The forest boy asked the little fox and the little bear to help him pick berries. It took them a long time to collect them. There were so many berries that the friends ate enough and collected full baskets. And then everyone drank tea with berry jam. And the rest of the forest inhabitants were invited to visit Lesovich. And so we made peace!

Mrs. Katie has found a friend.
Mrs. Katie, a long pink snake, lived in a cozy hole under a snag. She wore a cute pink hat with a yellow flower and was very proud of it. Every morning Mrs. Katie crawled out of her hole and basked in the sun. She also loved to crawl on the fallen autumn leaves, because they rustled so merrily! Mrs. Katie was very kind, but no one knew about it. All forest dwellers were afraid of the snake and avoided its hole. This upset Mrs. Katie, because she so wanted to have a real friend!
And then one day, when Katie, as usual, was basking alone in the sun, she suddenly heard someone crying pitifully. The snake quickly crawled to where the crying was coming from, and suddenly saw that the cunning fox had fallen into a deep hole. She could not get out and cried bitterly.
“Don’t cry,” the snake shouted to the frightened fox, “Now I’ll get you out!” Mrs. Katie lowered her long tail into the hole. “Hold on tight to my tail,” she shouted to the fox. The cunning fox grabbed the snake by the tail, and it crawled. It was difficult for the snake because the fox was very heavy. But Katie coped with this difficult task. Since then, the snake Katie and the fox Khitra have become fast friends. Now they were happily rustling the autumn leaves together and basking in the sun.

How the little bear became polite
In the thickest part of the forest, in a den, lived a bear cub named Medok. He had a terrible sweet tooth! But most of all he loved honey. For this, the bear cub was nicknamed Medkom. One day, when the little bear had run out of honey, he went to the wild bees who lived in a large hive on a tree. The honey climbed up the tree, looked into the hive, then stuck his paw there and scooped up a whole handful of honey. The bees got angry at him, and let's bite the impudent thief! The bear cub started to run as fast as he could, but the bees were faster. They caught up with Medok and started biting him, saying: “Don’t take someone else’s!” Medok returned to the den empty-handed. The little bear thought and decided that he should go for honey when the bees were not at home. He waited until the bees flew to the clearing to collect nectar and climbed into the hive. Honey did not even suspect that there were guard bees left in the hive, who immediately rushed to the sweet tooth. The bear cub barely carried his feet away.
Honey sits on a tree stump and cries.
- Why are you crying? - asked Lesovichok, who was passing by.
“I wanted to take honey from the bees, but they don’t give it back, they just bite.” Do you know how painful it is!
- Take? Without asking? Now I understand why the bees were angry with you. Next time, just ask them for honey, but you have to ask very politely. And don’t forget about the magic word “please.” The next day Medok went to the hive again. He was very afraid that the bees would bite him again, but gathering all his courage, he asked as politely as he could: “Dear bees, please give me a little of your delicious honey.” And then a miracle happened: the bees did not attack the bear cub, but flew into the hive and flew out with a large deck of honey! “Please, help yourself!” — the happy bees buzzed. Since then, the little bear has never forgotten to say the magic word “please”!

Tea party
Once upon a time there lived in the forest a little bunny named Jumpy. One day he thought: “I’m tired of eating this grass! I'll go and look for something tasty. It would be nice to find a sweet carrot!” The bunny smiled, remembering how she herself prepared carrot salad for him in the morning and licked his lips. At the edge of the forest where the bunny lived, carrots did not grow, and Jumpy went in search of them in the thicket of the forest. There were such large trees here that the sun's rays had difficulty breaking through the branches. The little jumper became scared, he even wanted to cry. And then he saw someone's den. The bear cub Medok came out of the den and asked the bunny:
- How are you, buddy? What are you doing so far from home?
“I’m looking for a carrot,” answered Jumpy.
- What are you saying, buddy, carrots don’t grow in the forest.
- It’s a pity, but I really want something sweet.
- It doesn’t matter, I have a whole deck of fragrant sweet honey. Come visit me and drink tea with honey.
The bunny agreed with pleasure. And after the tea party, the little bear accompanied Jumpy all the way to the house so that the bunny wouldn’t be scared!

Prickly defender.
A gray hedgehog, Thorn, lived in a hole under a large stump. They called him that because he had terribly sharp needles. Just real thorns! Because of them, no one wanted to play with the hedgehog: everyone was afraid of pricking themselves.
One day, an angry, hungry wolf appeared in the Magic Forest. He saw the Bunny Bunny and began to carefully creep up to him. This was noticed by a hedgehog who was sitting on a stump and feeling sad. The hedgehog immediately curled up into a ball and rolled right under the wolf's feet. The wolf yelped in pain and jumped to the side. The hedgehog rolled after the wolf. He stabbed the wolf with his sharp needles again and again until he ran away from their Magic Forest.
“It’s so good that you have such sharp needles,” said the Little Bunny, who came up to thank the hedgehog. “If it weren’t for you and your thorns, a wolf would have eaten me.”
All the forest inhabitants were glad that the hedgehog saved Jumpy. And Lesovichok asked the hedgehog to become a protector of the forest inhabitants and protect everyone from the evil wolf. And the wolf, remembering the sharp needles of the hedgehog, never appeared in the Magic Forest again.

Owl
An owl, Sovushka, lived in the Magic Forest. She was very young, so not very wise. One day, she woke up and saw that wild ducks were getting ready to fly away somewhere.
The owl was very surprised.
-Where are they going to fly? – Sovushka asked Lesovich.
“It’s time for wild ducks to fly to warmer lands,” Lesovichok answered her. “It’s warm there and there’s plenty of food for them.”
- Wow! I need to fly there too, since it’s so good!
The owl asked the ducks to take her into their flock. The ducks agreed. The next morning, the ducks waited a long time for the owl, but she never came. Without waiting for Owl, they flew away without her. It turns out that Sovushka overslept. After all, owls are nocturnal birds: they wake up at night, go to bed in the morning and sleep until the evening. So the Owl remained to spend the winter in the Magic Forest! But she had a good time here too!

Turtle Tortila and her friends.
Tortila the turtle lived on the shore of a forest pond. Every day she slowly crawled along the shore, and when she got scared or wanted to sleep, she pulled her little head and paws into her shell. The turtle's life was boring and monotonous. She had no friends and felt very lonely. One day, early in the morning, a turtle, warming itself under the rays of the sun, lay on the shore and a ringing song could be heard from far away: The sun has risen, have fun! Morning has come, cheer up! The bunny woke up and had fun! Smiled at everyone and had fun!
Soon the gray bunny, Jumpy, ran up to the turtle and greeted her with the words: “Good morning!” -Kind! she answered him. - What a funny song you have! - Do you want us to sing it together? And they sang loudly:
The sun has risen, have fun! Morning has come, cheer up! We've already woken up and are having fun! Everyone smiled and had fun!
The hedgehog, Thorn, who was picking mushrooms, heard a cheerful song and hurried to the forest pond. - Hello, greeted Tortilla Thorn and Jumpy. - What a funny song you have! Can I sing it with you? - Certainly! The three of us will have more fun! And they sang together:
The sun has risen, have fun! Morning has come, cheer up! We've already woken up and are having fun! Everyone smiled and had fun!
To their cheerful song, the swan Swan swam to the shore. - What a friendly company you have and a funny song! he said. “Let’s all sing together,” suggested Jumpy. Suddenly, everyone heard someone crying under a bush. Everyone hurried there and saw the little bird Cutie. - Why are you crying so bitterly? - Tortila asked her. “I’m in trouble,” she answered. The wind rose and I accidentally fell out of the nest. I don’t know how to fly yet, and I don’t know how to get back. - Sit on my wing, and I will take you to your nest. The cutie did just that. The little swan took off and delivered the chick to its place. Cutie Swan thanked her and waved her wing. And all the friends sang their favorite song:
The sun has risen, have fun! Morning has come, cheer up! We've already woken up and are having fun! Everyone smiled and had fun! Together we will be friends, give happiness, joy, kindness!
The turtle was very glad that she had so many wonderful friends. The time spent with them was the most wonderful time for her.

I couldn’t resist and composed a fairy tale about the bird Cutie. True, the idea for the plot was suggested to me by my children.
Sore throat
In the Magic Forest there grew a big old tree. On one of the branches of this tree there was a small nest made of feathers and blades of grass. A bird called Cutie lived in this nest. Cutie woke up early: earlier than all the forest inhabitants and began to sing her cheerful song. Every morning, Cutie flew over the Magic Forest and sang so loudly and joyfully that all the forest inhabitants were in high spirits. The songs of this little bird made everyone feel good and joyful in their souls, and this made everyone kinder.
One day, one gloomy autumn morning, the forest inhabitants woke up and could not understand anything - why were they so sad and dreary? The rain that started to drizzle only ruined everyone's mood even more. The forest inhabitants crawled out of their dens and holes, from under snags and stones, gloomy and unfriendly. "What's happened? Why are both me and my friends in such a bad mood today?” - thought Lesovichok. He began to look closely, listen, and then he understood everything: today he had not heard Cutie’s song. What could have happened to her? To find out, Lesovichok went to a big old tree where a little songbird lived.
"Cutie!" - Lesovichok called the bird. A bird dozing in a nest flew up to him. She sat on Levovichka’s shoulder and in a quiet, hoarse voice told her what had happened to her and why she didn’t sing that morning.
The cutie woke up earlier than usual and was about to sing when she suddenly saw a spring. The water there was so clear and fresh! And how beautifully the water droplets sparkled, shimmering with different colors in the sun’s rays. The cutie immediately wanted to drink this clean water. She flew up to the spring and began to drink in small sips. The water in the spring turned out to be very cold, simply icy. The cutie understood that she couldn’t drink cold water, but the water was very tasty. She drank and drank. “Well, I got drunk, now it’s time to sing my morning song, to which the Magic Forest and all its inhabitants wake up!” The little songbird opened her beak to sing loudly and tenderly, but instead a rough hoarse cry was heard from her throat. And then Cutie felt how much her throat hurt!
Now she couldn't sing.
"What to do? How can I help Cutie?” - thought Lesovichok. A woodpecker lived on a large pine tree, and Lesovichok went to him.
— Dear woodpecker, they call you “forest doctor.” Maybe you can cure our Cutie's throat?
- No, I only treat trees: I rid them of insects and larvae. And you can cure Cutie yourself. Everything you need for this is in your forest. Ask wild bees for honey. It will relieve sore throat. Raspberries grow near the lake. It will lower the temperature. And at the edge of the forest the rose hips had already ripened. It will help the patient get stronger and gain strength.
The forest boy thanked the woodpecker and went to the clearing where the forest inhabitants had already gathered. Lesovichok told his friends everything and they decided to help: the bear cub went to the wild bees to ask for some honey, the fox picked raspberries, the little hare and the hedgehog picked a whole basket of rose hips, from which Lesovichok cooked a healing decoction, the swan Swan gave some feathers to warm up Cutie, and the turtle Tortilla volunteered to take all this to Cutie. But everyone politely refused her offer: after all, everyone knows how slowly a turtle moves, and Cutie needed help urgently! Lesovichok carried everything himself and soon Cutie recovered. She could sing again. And her songs were even better and louder, because she sang for friends who did not leave her in trouble.

Fairy tale on a free theme
This genre is the pinnacle of a child’s verbal creativity. He must independently come up with the name of the fairy tale, the characters, the conditions for the action of the heroes, the action itself: the beginning, the climax, the ending. The child learns to use his life experience and convey it in a coherent narrative. He develops the ability to clearly, clearly, and consistently express his thoughts. The mother’s task is to create an emotional mood and give impetus to the creative imagination. It is important that the child strives to make the plot entertaining, not forgetting about the verbal presentation of the fairy tale.
Create, invent, try! Children's fairy tales have always been a very special genre of folk tales and served not only as a means of amusement for children who write them, but also as one of the most important means of developing children's thinking and mastering the experience of previous generations.
