	abstract="{The aim of this presentation is to explore the relationships between preschool children’s direct contact with nature and the development of their creativity and musical imagination within early childhood education. The paper discusses the role of engagement with natural environments, such as walks in outdoor settings, in enhancing children’s motivation to participate actively in music activities inspired by nature.
Particular attention is given to activities involving the imitation of environmental sounds and the use of natural materials to construct simple musical instruments. Such practices strengthen the educational impact of music education and foster the development of imagination, creative expression, and children’s sensory sensitivity. Encounters with music and nature have a positive impact on a child’s developmental well-being.
The presentation will also include examples of good practice that support the child’s holistic development and integrate content from music education, environmental education, and general developmental learning}",
