How do children perceive everyday life?
What is important for them?
Children might tell us about those questions by making stories
with paper dolls Taika, Kaura and Zein.
On this website you can see "Taikatarinat (Magic stories)"
by children from different countries.
This website has been developed out of a voluntary collaborative project
between researchers, kindergartens, daycare centers,
and organizations from several countries.
This project was inspired by "Toga and Waku meet friends around the world!"
-a project produced by a Japanese group Lemonade and
a playful project planning unit Yutakana.
