Laulau® Songdrawing Method
The Laulau® Songdrawing Method is a multi-sensory approach, where singing, drawing, movement, and storytelling come together in a holistic and interactive process, and where drawings are conjured up through engaging drawing songs. With its versatile working methods, the Laulau Songdrawing Method supports children’s cross-curricular learning, and provides experiences of interaction and inclusion.
The comprehensive method materials — including already over 100 songs with multiple application opportunities — together with a multi-level training concept, offer kindergartens, schools and teachers flexible tools to support children’s development across key learning areas, and to bring a joyful, playful and inclusive approach to learning.
The Laulau Songdrawing Method is highly flexible and easily adaptable to diverse educational curricula, learning contexts and children’s skill levels. Songdrawing encourages children to create, concentrate, communicate and cooperate. It provides a natural and visual way for a child to express and illustrate their feelings, thoughts and observations.
According to user studies, the method effectively supports children’s interaction and communication skills, linguistic, cognitive and social-emotional development, collaboration skills, gross and fine motor skills, self-confidence and creative expression.
The method is widely used in the Finnish early childhood and pre-primary education to support various learning domains such as early mathematics and literacy, language learning (e.g. English as a second language), natural sciences, physical education, music and the arts.

Our three-level training concept, together with our digital resources, will give you a thorough understanding of the method, its philosophy and its key elements. All three training levels are supported by a versatile song and lesson library, offering easy-to-use, hands-on tools for applying the method in your own educational setting.
