This is the first of a planned series of investigations of the media habits and other cultural activities of 3- to 8-year-old Swedish children. Diagrams show the percent of children who use the various media on an average day and the frequency of their participation in such activities as visits to the theater, museum, or library. The amount of time spent with the media is noted, and, in the case of other cultural activities, the context in which the activity took place is noted, whether family, nursery school, school class, or other.
