Common and special in introducing children to art in the conditions of children’s educational theatre

The article focuses on an important feature of introducing primary school children to the art of theater, which is considered by the authors through the interaction of three closely interrelated types of artistic creativity: theater, decorative and applied arts and design. Such interaction is currently very important, since modern children are distinguished by an active rhythm of life, the ability to quickly switch from one type of activity to another, and mastery of various ways of communication. A unique feature of the presented types of art is interactivity and interaction, which determined the development of new adequate forms of education in the socalled Children’s Educational Theater, in which children’s creativity is manifested in its most diverse types and directions of artistic activity.
