This final seminar has been based on the traditional stories passed through word of mouth of the town of Korčula. According to a legend, the town of Korčula has been known as a beautiful nymph located in the heart of the sea, rich in natural beauty and cultural and historical heritage. Turbulent history, various traditions, folk customs and beliefs make it a unique and magical place. The inhabitants of the city lived in accordance with their beliefs and customs, and their culture has been shaped by it. This paper describes attractiveness of town of Korčula to many conquerors and how new tradition and name was developed with each new conqueror. Many customs were remembered only by the older inhabitants and most of them got forgotten. The richness and value of literary works whose inexhaustible inspiration has been found in our history is unquestionable. The aim of this paper is to point out the importance of our culture and customs in working with young and preschool children. It is important to emphasize that introducing children to their customs and culture contributes to their identity development as well as holistic development since the child is an active participant of educational process. Through various traditional works, traditional food and customs, and through dramatization or storytelling, the path to the child's full development is reached. The child gets to know his/her culture and tradition and thus we prevent our local myths, traditions, customs and beliefs from being forgotten and we also encourage his creativity and sense of belonging to the society.
