The colors of Zizhong puppets contain rich cultural, aesthetic, and educational values. The logic of color combinations and the symbolic meanings in folk traditions can not only empower early childhood teachers in artistic creation for aesthetic education but also help cultivate children's aesthetic literacy and initiate them into intangible cultural heritage. To extract the value of the color elements of Zizhong puppets, this article conducts a series of analyses and studies on the methods of applying these color elements in the practical activities of aesthetic education and manual creation for early childhood teachers. The results show that adopting specific application strategies, such as breaking through disciplinary barriers, leveraging digital technology, deepening collaboration between schools, localities, and kindergartens, and pooling resources from families, schools, and communities, can comprehensively enhance the comprehensive teaching abilities of early childhood teachers and improve children's comprehensive qualities, including aesthetics, practical skills, and critical thinking. This, in turn, ensures the effectiveness of high-quality aesthetic education and manual creation practical activities.
