Extracurricular activities at school provide additional opportunities for the development of these aspects through musical-creative activities using sand animation.

   The purpose of the study is to study, formulate and present the pedagogical aspects of the formation of self–awareness, self-determination and self-development of younger schoolchildren in the process of developing their musical-creative abilities through sand animation.

   Methodology and methods of the study. The study used general scientific methods: analysis of scientific literature, observation, systematization and generalization of the data obtained. Students’ activities were monitored and publications analyzed to identify effective strategies for using sand animation and music in education.

   Results. Pedagogical aspects include: creating a favorable emotional climate, adapting classes to individual characteristics, enriching the listening experience, providing a space for self-expression, using creative tasks that stimulate the imagination, developing self-control and mutual assistance, as well as encouraging initiative and independent research.

   Conclusion. Sand animation, included in a supportive learning environment, effectively promotes self-awareness, self-determination and self-development of young students as they develop their musical-creative abilities.
