Abstract

Problems of proper attitude towards nature and its resources have never been more urgent than today, which proves that so far people didn’t quite master productive and safe interrelations among themselves and with the surrounding world. One of the answers to this problem is systematic ecological education, which is intended to form ecological thinking and ecological culture in preschoolers and their caretakers.
