The playing of children's musical instruments, on the one hand, emphasizes the careful handling of instruments, in respect of material products, and on the other hand, the creation of instruments from handy, natural materials and appropriate waste products. Imagination and ingenuity are encouraged in the search for the functional capabilities of various items, as well as the idea of recycling and reuse of industrial waste (packaging, plastics, etc.). In dances and musical-rhythmic movements the interaction, the shortening of the social distance, and the possibilities for communication are especially fully included, and in the creative activity, the attitude of the child to the world and to himself is already most directly reflected and manifested. Overall, the joint and group musical performance and creativity establish conditions for teamwork and mutual assistance. These opportunities support the idea of the connection between the musical and ecological education of children in kindergarten
