Abstract

This article is the result of a collaboration between the Mater Dei Diocesan School, Ayegui, and the University of Navarre Museum, Pamplona, both located in the Foral Community of Navarre, Spain. This article relates the experience of the Infant section of the Mater Dei Diocesan School in the development of the educational project the “Kids’ Museum,” which was conducted in collaboration with the University of Navarre Museum and aimed at the first cycle of early childhood education (0–3 years old). In this project, both organizations adopted an educational instruction method using materials for children in early childhood, including the practice of art activities and storytelling. To this end, the museum loaned the school a portable box with varied resources. All materials and activities were connected to the works of art that are part of the permanent collections of the museum.
