FAIRY TALES FOR ADAPTATION IN KINDERGARTEN
A fairy tale about a Bunny and a kindergarten
Once a Bunny and a mother hare were going to kindergarten.
Bunny was very worried and upset that his mother would not pick him up from kindergarten in the evening.
He kept asking: Mom, will you pick me up in the evening?
-Of course, I'll pick you up, Bunny. I will definitely come for you after work.
But the bunny still couldn't believe it and asked again and again.
By chance, this conversation was overheard by the Baby Elephant. He went to the same group as Bunny and asked Bunny for a walk:
— Bunny, are you really afraid that your mother won't take you home?
-Yes, I'm very afraid that my mother will leave me here - Bunny answered.
To this the Baby Elephant said: Why are you, Bunny. It can not be. All children are taken home by mothers and fathers in the evening. At night, the kindergarten is completely empty. The kids only come in the morning.
Bunny asked: Completely, completely empty?
Baby elephant replied: Absolutely, absolutely. Children only come to kindergarten in the morning.
Let's see with you in the evening, they will take absolutely all the children home.
When the little animals had supper in the evening, the Baby Elephant and the Hare began to wait, who would be taken away first. On this day, the first cat was taken. Her mother came for her. Then they took away a bear cub, a lion cub, a squirrel, a rabbit, a mouse and a penguin. Everyone was very happy that mom and dad came for them. Who was taken last, Elephant and Hare did not manage to see. Since their mothers also came for them. And they happily ran home. The hare liked this moment so much when his mother took him home in the evening. He was so happy and in the evening he told his mother what interesting things had happened to him all day in kindergarten.
A fairy tale about how Alla fell in love with going to kindergarten
— Mom, well, mom!!!! I no longer want to go to kindergarten, - Alla begged her mother. - Let's stay at home! Come on!
— All right, my mother answered.
And from that moment Alla stopped going to kindergarten. So two weeks passed. One day, Alla and her mother went to the grocery store together.
— Alla, Alla, hello! came from somewhere on the side.
The girl looked around and saw Inna.
— Why don't you go to kindergarten now? - Alla Inna asked. We, all the guys, are waiting for you! And we got in trouble! Do you remember the cubes you used to play with? They disappeared yesterday. We have already searched everything, they are nowhere to be found!
— How did they disappear? Allah was alarmed. - Where can they be?
— I don't know, — Inna answered sadly. - So what? Will you come tomorrow?
“I will come, I will definitely come,” the girl said thoughtfully.
The next morning Alla herself woke up very early and asked her mother to take her to the kindergarten. She came, greeted the teacher and the guys and immediately went to look for her favorite cubes. They are not in the closet, under the closet too .
..
Cubes, where are you? Allah asked sadly.
But they never showed up.
In the evening mother came to take her daughter home. Alla got dressed and they went. They go through the park, the rain is drizzling.
All of a sudden Alla sees that her favorite cubes are lying on a wet and cold bench.
— Mom, look! the girl exclaimed. - There are cubes from our kindergarten! Don't have a package? I want to pick them up and take them back to the kindergarten tomorrow.
Mom gave her daughter a big package and the girl immediately rushed to collect multi-colored cubes from the bench.
- Oh, cubes! How did you get here? Who brought you here?
- Hello, Allah! The toys rejoiced! We are so glad to see you! Nobody brought us here! We waited and waited for you, but you still didn’t come to visit us in the kindergarten. We were very upset and went to look for you, but got lost.
— That's it! the girl laughed! - And I've been looking for you all day in the group! You don't run away anymore! Now I have to go to kindergarten!
And at night, Alla had a dream, how she, together with the teacher and other children, learned a song for her mother on the holiday of March 8, how they were given gifts for the New Year, how fun she played with the children, how she built a big fortress out of cubes and much, much more other.
In the morning, when she woke up and was going to the kindergarten, the girl thought:
— It's good in the kindergarten!
And, taking a bag of cubes, she happily ran to catch up with her mother.

A fairy tale about a kindergarten
There were different animals in the forest.
A family of bears lived in the same house: father-bear, mother-bear, bear cub Mishutka. Hares lived in another house: mother hare, father hare, old grandmother Zaya and a little hare. And in the third house lived foxes: father, mother and fox daughter. And also lived in the forest the She-wolf with the Wolf cub, the Mouse with the Mouse and many other animals, big and small.
Until the kids grew up, they each played near their little house, at their mink or at their lair. But then they got older, and the parents decided that it was time for the children to get to know each other so that it would be more fun for them to play.
And they set up a kindergarten for animals in the forest! The teachers called the wise Aunt Owl to teach the kids to be friends.
The animals found a suitable clearing in the forest where the kids could play together, made a fence, put beds and tables, brought more toys and brought their kids there. Some animals, as soon as they saw new toys, said goodbye to their mothers and ran to play. And the little Hare got scared, clung to mommy and is afraid to move away from her. There are a lot of kids, everyone is running, playing, and the little Bunny is still standing and standing next to his mother.
Aunt Owl saw this, but did not scold Zainka, but allowed him to stay in the kindergarten with his mother on the first day. The bunny climbed onto the arms of his mother and watched from there what others were doing.
Then the Mouse wanted to play ball, but how can one? The Little Mouse began to roll the ball to Zainka, and Zainka took the ball and rolled the Little Mouse.
The hare mother sees that the children have become friends, play together, roll the ball and laugh. "Well, baby, it's time to go! - after a while, the hare mother said. “No, mom, I’d rather play here, and then you will come for me.”
We agreed that on the first day the mothers would pick up the babies after lunch. Here the animals played, walked and sat down at the table for dinner. The bunny quickly snorted his dinner, and the teddy bear sits and waits for someone to feed him with a spoon. Aunt Owl came up to him, showed him how to hold a spoon, and Mishutka began to slowly eat porridge himself. His paws are awkward, but the bear cub is trying, puffing! “I,” he says, “now I will eat at home myself! After all, I'm already big!
After dinner, the kids took the dishes and started getting ready to go home. For Zainka, grandmother came, for the Fox - dad, for Mishutka - mother Bear. All the kids left very happy. Some did not even want to leave, but Aunt Owl said that the kindergarten was closed for the night, and now everyone would go to their own home, and tomorrow morning they would meet again and play together.
Since then, it has been like this in the forest: the youngest ones sat in the burrows with their mothers, and the older ones came to Aunt Owl's kindergarten. Each baby had his own locker for clothes and his own bed, where the baby slept after dinner. In the evenings, mothers took the kids home, and the kindergarten was closed for the night.
How Marina went to kindergarten
Once upon a time there was a girl Marina. Marina was three years old, and she terribly disliked going to kindergarten. Every morning she asked her parents to let her stay at home. Parents were very upset by such words of their daughter.
Then one day mother allowed Marina to stay at home. The day at home dragged on for an unusually long time. The girl wandered from corner to corner, she was tired of playing with toys, she was tired of watching TV, and she did not want to beg her mother to play with her or go for a walk. And the next morning Marina agreed to go to the garden.
When she entered the group, all the children shouted:
— Hurrah! Marina has arrived! Why weren't you there yesterday? We went to the circus as a group! For a fun show! It was so great!
Marina felt sad: she was so sad at home when her friends were at the circus.
How long, how short did Marina go to the kindergarten, but she began to be stubborn again. And this time, the mother allowed her daughter to stay at home. And again the day dragged on, and it seemed to the girl that it would never end.
The next day Marina returned to the kindergarten. The guys around again discussed something interesting.
— Marina! The whole group of us went to the children's railway and rode the train there ... and then we walked in the park! .. and we met a squirrel in the park! ... and there are comfortable tables in the children's train ... and the conductors told a funny story ... and the boy also drove the train , he is only 13 years old! ... - the guys excitedly told.
The girl was hurt to tears: how could it be, again the whole group rejoiced and discussed an interesting event, but nobody cared about Marina...
Day after day Marina went to the kindergarten again. How long, how short, only again Marina asks her mother: “Mommy, can I stay at home for a day?”
“Stay,” Mom said, “but remember that it was your decision.
When Marina reappeared in the group a day later, she saw that there were very beautiful figures made of plasticine on the shelf - a bunny, a fox, and a teddy bear!..
— Oh, what a beauty!!! Marina froze in admiration.
— Look, Marina, I made this bunny myself! - Oksana's friend said to the girl, pointing to the same bunny that Marina liked so much, - yesterday a special teacher came to us and showed us how to do it! And Andryushka made this bear cub, and Tanyusha made that little fox.
Marina couldn't stand it anymore — she started crying: “Well, why do I always miss all the most interesting things!? I won’t miss kindergarten anymore!”
From that day on, Marina always went to kindergarten, and even if she was ill, she always tried to recover as soon as possible so as not to miss something interesting.
Tale about Grustinka (for boys we replace it with a male name)
Once upon a time there was a girl Masha. At first she was just a baby, and then she grew and grew and grew up. Yes, she had grown so much that now she could go to the kindergarten to play with the guys. Mom and dad were so happy that Masha is big. They arranged a holiday. Mom baked a cake, and Masha even blew out the candles herself.
The next day Mashulya went to kindergarten for the first time, and she liked it so much that she didn't even want to leave. Played with toys, ate delicious porridge. And she also had a friend there - Semyon, such a cheerful boy with curls.
They played together all day long. Semyon sat down at one end of the room and pushed Masha a big truck. Masha caught him, loaded cubes into the body and sent him to Semyon, and he built a big tower. They had fun together. Even falling asleep was not boring, because the cribs stood side by side, and together they closed their eyes and slept.
And then one rainy autumn day, when the leaves turned completely yellow, the wind brought Grustinka to the kindergarten. She was so small, gray as a microbe, flew into the window and hid in Masha's pocket. And then Masha was changed. She felt sad, for some reason she was upset, she lost her mother and let's cry. All the guys and the teacher reassured her, reassured her ... But the tears still drip by themselves, so drip-drip-drip ... And Masha knows that her mother will come soon, she just goes to work, then she buys delicious yogurt and runs for Masha. Masha knows this, but for some reason she is sad - she wants her mother to come right now ... And this is all sad Sadness sitting in her pocket and upsets Masha, makes her cry.
Semyon tried to cheer up Masha: he offered to play loaf, he brought a doll to her in a stroller, but Masha is still sad. And then Semyon saw that Mashuli's eyes were completely wet. And he decided to help her:
- Give me, - he says, - I'll get your handkerchief, and wipe your tears, don't cry!
Syoma Mashin pulled out a handkerchief, together with him Grustinka shook herself out of her pocket, and again flew out the window. And Masha immediately smiled, and then laughed and became cheerful again. And Syoma and the other guys, of course, were very happy that Grustinka had completely flown away, and they all ran to watch cartoons together.
Since then, Masha always checks her pocket to see if Sadistka is stuck there and never gets sad in the kindergarten again.
A fairy tale about a crib.
“Once upon a time there was a crib. She lived in a kindergarten in a group and stood in the bedroom among other beds. In the fall, the kids came to the group. Many of the cribs were covered with children's bed linen, and they became beautiful. And the kids started coming. They went to bed and warmed their beds. The kids were fine in their beds, warm and they fell asleep. The beds were very happy. And only one bed did not get a baby and she was very sad. She had no one to warm, she was bored and lonely. And then a new girl (boy) appeared, who was put in this particular bed. The bed was so happy. The girl was very nice, beautiful, kind. The bed was happy. She was waiting for the girl to come to her. And when the girl came - the bed tried to warm her as soon as possible, and give her a dream. But the girl suddenly stopped liking sleeping in the garden. Lying down in bed, she constantly asked about her mother. The crib was very upset, she tried her best to warm her, to calm her down so that the girl fell asleep. But the girl did not sleep. The crib began to fear that the girl would not want to sleep at all and she would be left alone again. She was very sad because of this, because she was already so used to this good girl, she liked to warm her so much. The crib was created so that it gave sleep to the kids. Every crib dreamed of doing it. And our bed too. And you also have a crib in the kindergartens. She is waiting for you, she loves to warm you and rejoices when you sleep in her.
The Tale of Sonechka, the Kindergarten and the Elephant
There was a girl. Her name was Sonya. She was a good girl, but she didn’t like going to kindergarten very much. Her sister Lenochka went to kindergarten with pleasure, she had girlfriends there - Varya and Polya. The girls had fun and interesting together. Sophia didn't have girlfriends. Maybe because she was a little capricious and a little greedy. Someone will ask her to play with a toy, but she does not give it - it's a pity for her.
Sophia is sitting in a corner, pouting at everyone - both at her mother, and at the teachers, and at the children. Especially for children - they play so much fun, and no one pays attention that she is so sad. Sonya felt so offended that she grabbed the first toy that came to hand and threw it to the floor with all her might. Let him know!
And then... The girl saw that the toy (and it was a baby elephant) was crying. She began to sob softly and tears appeared in her button eyes. Sofiyka squatted down and began to carefully examine the baby elephant - and suddenly it just seemed to her. After all, toys can't cry. No, it didn't seem to. The baby elephant wept bitterly. The girl felt ashamed.
- Don't cry, don't, - she took the toy in her arms, - I... I didn't mean to offend you.
But the baby elephant continued to squish his nose. Sonya pulled out a handkerchief from her purse, which she always carried with her, and wiped the toy's tear-stained eyes and trunk.
— Well, what are you doing?
- I, I'm so sad, so lonely, and you also offended me so much, - the baby elephant sobbed.
— I'm sorry, — the girl felt ashamed. - Why are you sad?
- I don't know anyone here. I was recently bought into a kindergarten. I used to live in a factory, along with my brothers and sisters, there were many more toys, we were so good. And then we were all sold out. Whom where. I ended up in your kindergarten, I don’t know anyone here at all. Nobody wants to play with me, I'm so lonely.
“Me too,” Sophia sighed. - At my house too - and dad, and mom, and sister. It's so good at home...
"Good," the baby elephant agreed. “But now my home is here. You will definitely go home in the evening, to your father and mother, and I will stay here, in a dark room, all alone ...
And he began to cry again.
“Don't cry, please don't cry,” she stroked his head and wiped away his tears, “I... I'll come to you again tomorrow. Honestly. I'll be right there in the morning. You just go to bed in the evening and sleep until the morning. When you wake up, I'll be there. And I will play with you. And I'll tell you stories. And I'll even introduce you to other toys, if you want?
- Of course I want to! - the elephant was delighted.
- That's good, now let's play!
- Come on.
So Sofia spent the whole day in the garden, playing with the baby elephant. She introduced him to other toys so he wouldn't get bored while she was at home. And she even met some of the kids herself, because playing together is much more fun.
And every morning Sonya went to kindergarten with pleasure, because she knew that her friend, an elephant, was waiting for her there. And he will be very, very bored, if suddenly she does not come.
Fairy tale "Kolobok's Dream"
Kolobok lived with his grandparents. He was obedient, and therefore did not run away from them anywhere. Every morning Kolobok rolled along the path to the kindergarten. There he played with friends, had fun, sang his favorite song about himself to everyone, and when in the evening he returned back to his grandparents, he always told them what interesting things happened to him today in the garden. Kolobok liked everything in the kindergarten, except for one thing - he could not go to bed at lunchtime in the garden: he cried, was capricious, could not fall asleep for a long time, even tried to roll off the bed and tried to roll from the kindergarten home to his grandparents. But one day his teacher, Chanterelle, managed to stop him on the threshold of the kindergarten in time and bring him back to the group. She put Kolobok back in a comfortable bed, covered him with a warm blanket and asked.
— Why don't you like to sleep in the garden, Kolobok?
— Because it's so sad to lie in bed with your eyes closed and not see anything. It's not so interesting!
— Don't just lie down, but try to fall asleep to see interesting dreams! - Lisichka said affectionately.
- Dreams? I don't know what dreams are. They never get to me.
“Lie down comfortably and I will teach you to dream…” Chanterelle said.
Then the tutor Chanterelle advised Kolobok not just to lie in bed with his eyes closed, but to relax, feel how warm and comfortable his bed is and try to dream about something pleasant.
Gingerbread man closed his eyes and tried to do everything as Chanterelle told him. And a miracle happened - he fell asleep and had a good dream. He dreamed of a cheerful bunny that jumped with him, then the Wolf played the game “Catch me” with him - and they had a lot of fun, then Mishka danced with him to joyful, cheerful music. And Kolobok also dreamed of his teacher Chanterelle, in his dream she was as kind and friendly as in reality. She played hide and seek with him. And then Kolobok with all the animals: a bunny, a wolf, a bear and a governess Chanterelle took hold of the handles and danced a cheerful round dance in a circle. Here is such a good dream Kolobok saw.
When he woke up, he was cheerful and cheerful. He immediately told the teacher and all the animals in the garden his fascinating dream.
Since then, Gingerbread Man has been looking forward to lunch in kindergarten to see a new interesting dream.
