By analyzing the theoretical basis and practical advantages of the Orff music teaching method, the study demonstrates the compatibility between picture books and the method in enhancing children's creativity, expressiveness and aesthetic quality. The article builds a framework for the implementation of the teaching method, covering music selection, picture book design, rhythmic movement creation and instrument arrangement, and evaluates teachers' professional skills and teaching effectiveness in the light of teaching reflections. The results of the study show that the integration of picture books and Orff music pedagogy can effectively stimulate children's learning motivation and promote their overall cognitive and emotional development.
