Abstract

Teaching and learning have been undertaken sometimes in the absences of visual materials. Teaching of morals, values and virtues in children can best be achieved with printmaking illustrations while using folktales as sources of influence. Folktales have been described in this paper as veritable tool for teaching sociological and cosmological issues. The paper suggests some educational implication of folktales as it specifically affects children.
