Summary/Abstract: This article explores the expanded integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into primary education through the lens of creative writing using Gianni Rodari’s „fantasy binomial“ method. Building upon previously implemented pedagogical practices, the study presents a refined methodology where AI tools such as ChatGPT and DALL·E are used not only for text generation but also for visual storytelling. The research incorporates data from two second-grade classes and one third-grade class, utilizing surveys and structured observation to evaluate the impact of AI-assisted storytelling on students’ creativity, language development, teamwork, and digital literacy. Results indicate that AI tools stimulate imagination, foster engagement, and support inclusive and differentiated learning. Ethical considerations, particularly regarding authorship and critical thinking, are also addressed. The findings support the notion that AI, when thoughtfully applied, can be a powerful educational ally in nurturing creative potential from an early age.
