All kids don’t like being taught. It is much more interesting and effective to tell a funny story. Such a fairy tale for children is “Kolobok”, which carries a psychological and sacred meaning.
This tale conceals pedagogical implications not only for kids, but also for adults. Its plot is very simple and easy to remember. Therefore, when a child grows up, he will unconsciously use the conclusions from the fairy tale as an everyday experience. Indeed, already in adulthood, he will encounter people endowed with the qualities of a fast hare, an evil wolf, a strong bear and a cunning fox.
The hidden meaning of the kolobok fairy tale is to understand the consequences of disobedience.
Everything that Kolobok teaches can be divided into the following lessons:
- the consequences of disobedience;
- the ability to avoid trouble;
- recognition of good and evil.
Let’s analyze each point in more detail.
Usually kids always identify with the main character. Gingerbread man is a cheerful child who has a family. He has not yet grown up and has not gained any life experience, but he has already decided to leave his father’s house. It is important to note the fact that his “parents” did not give their consent, because the bun escaped from the old man with the old woman. In addition, he violated the ban on communicating with strangers. As a result, the kolobok was eaten. If the problem of disobedience is relevant in the family, at the end of the tale you can add: “This is what happens to children who run away from their parents and talk to strangers.”
Another hidden meaning of the tale lies in the ability of the protagonist to avoid trouble. Throughout the story, the kolobok meets with various dangers, but he managed to hide in time. For this, the main character sang a song to distract the enemy and, thanks to the rounded shape of his body, quickly rolled away. This story teaches very young listeners to distinguish between good and evil. There are positive and negative characters in the tale. The first include the old man, the old woman and the main character, but all the animals are bad, because they want to eat the kolobok.
The sacred meaning of the fairy tale “Kolobok”
Initially, our ancestors had a different version of the story. In it, the main character appeared to be a round moon. There were more animals that symbolized the constellations and they all bit off a part of the kolobok. The end of both tales is the same, only in the second case the fox got a very small part of the main character.
Use this version of “Kolobok” to acquaint your child with the lunar cycle and stellar constellations.
When you read a fairy tale to your kid, be sure to think about what the meaning is in it. After all, it is much more interesting and easier to educate a baby by telling a useful story at night.
