This text discusses a theater experience conducted in a Visual Arts Workshop linked to the Visual Arts course at UFSM. This space is intended for the children of students and members of the university community, functioning similarly to a daycare center. The experience aimed to explore the potential of theater andpretend play as crucial elements in fostering children's holistic development. How can teachers conduct theater workshops? What methodologies can be adopted to ensure that theater becomes not just a distraction but a powerful language for children's holistic development? This experience describes a workshop consisting of seven 60-minute classes conducted in 2022. It involved 15 students aged 3 to 10 and was facilitated by two interns and guest actors. The classes began with the facilitator's careful observation, followed by an activity inspired by the story of Alice in Wonderland.Ultimately, the workshop demonstrated that theater can go beyond entertainment, becoming a formative practice for children's holistic development.
