P4C with very young children

Hello Everyone,

I hope you're all enjoying the faculous weather, which has actually strangely coincided with time off (for many of you).

In the run-up to the holidays, I've been working with a huge variety of classes. As a secondary trained teacher, working with nursery children has been a welcome challenge and it has been really rewarding to see how well very young children are responding to P4C approaches. I find that fair versus unfair activities work really well and 'would you rather' activities with lots of visual and tactile props. It would be great to get some ideas from any of you who've had experience of doing P4C with very young children. There's lots of debate about whether very young children are able to engage with doing philosophy. I'd love to hear your views on this.
