Bolsitas raras

Overview

A resource for educators that will prove attractive and engaging for students between ages three and five, Bolsitas raras is a collection of short, original fairy tales that depict a variety of fears—including the fear of traveling, the fear of school, and the fear of growing older. The stories and the fears they represent are color-coded, thus allowing for targeted discussion and education. Children are encouraged to assign their fears to a different colored “bag,” which helps them put their worries into context and understand, ultimately, that while everyone experiences fear, quite often there is no reason to be afraid. Un recurso para educadores que será atractivo y ameno para los estudiantes de edades entre tres y cinco años, Bolsitas raras es una colección de cortos cuentos de hadas originales que presentan una variedad de miedos—incluyendo el miedo de viajar, el miedo de la escuela y el miedo de crecer. Las historias y los miedos que representan llevan colores distintos, permitiendo de esa manera una discusión y educación más concentrada. A los niños se les anima a asignar sus miedos a una bolsa de color particular, lo cual les ayuda poner sus preocupaciones en contexto y entender, últimamente, que aunque todo el mundo siente miedo, a menudo no hay por qué estar atemorizado.
