This thesis speaks about implementing the literary work of Ivana Brlic-Mazuranic in working with the preschool children and her „Tales from Long Ago“ were carried out as a project in Kastelet Nursery in Split. For the duration of the project, guided by the children’s interests, a puppet’s play „How Potjeh searched for the truth“ was set up, a play „Palunko the Fisherman and his wife“ and „Regoc and Kosjenka“ was made into a children’s movie. The process of organizing the scene plays according to the literal work is described in the thesis in great detail. Alongside introducing the dramatic expression and different performances, the goal of this project was to develop all of the dramatic potential so that the children could work on the plot, interpret the roles, choose the music, act and perform in the play and the puppet play. While releasing its potential, the puppet proved to be of an enormous importance and very influential for the children. With the aim of developing interest in media achievement for the preschool children, and as a part of the project, a children’s movie was filmed. During this process the children adopted the main filming terms and in that way developed consciousness about using media in a positive way. All of the different performances created under the influence of Ivana Brlic-Mazuranic’s stories, motivated the children to develop their life values, while their experience and imagination awoke a desire for further creation.
