This activity helps children appreciate their cultural heritage through tangible artifacts. By finding and discussing these items, children connect with their identity and learn the significance behind them.
Connecting personal experiences to cultural artifacts strengthens cognitive associations. This approach leverages Bruner's CPA (Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract) approach, where children first engage with real objects before abstract understanding of culture.
