Entertaiment is a broad term used to describe activities that provide enjoyment, amusement or stimulation. It can be as simple as a good meal with friends or as complex as a theatrical performance. Children’s entertainment is often based on play which develops motor skills; prepares them for adult responsibilities; or provides social interaction (5). A well-known example is the story of Scheherazade from professional storytelling tradition which has inspired musical compositions by Rimsky-Korsakov, Ravel and Szymanowski, film by Pasolini and innovative video games (8).
