Abstract

This study researches the connection between the curriculum of art in early childhood education and care (ECEC) centers and elementary school education. The purpose of this research is to clarify how materials and tools are currently used in ECEC in Japan. It investigated the average ages that young children start using various materials and tools at ECEC centers and the understanding of elementary school teachers concerning when young children begin to use these materials and tools. The results showed that children begin to use materials and tools in ECEC earlier than elementary school teachers understand them to. It also found that children start to use many materials and tools (for example scissors and glue) from second or third year classes.
