Wisdom in the Fairy Tale

By Gyeonggi Children's Museum

Gyeonggi Children's Museum

This space is composed of scenes that frequently appear in fairy tales. In each scene, you will play a main character in a fairy tale and uncover valuable lessons of life. Have you ever heard the story about the Big Dipper? We can watch fairy tale animations related to star signs at a sibling’s house from The Sun and The Moon folktale. Can you creep silently into the mouth of a tiger? Aren’t you curious about how the characters in the fairy tale survive a critical encounter with a tiger?
(This space is designed for pre-schoolers.)
