Are you interested in teaching philosophy (critical thimking skills) to elementary school children? This website will help you do just that using by using popular children’s picture books, and helping the parent/teacher to ask the kinds of questions that stimulate the minds of children. The boldened phrases below are linked :-)
To get started, take a look at some of the book modules contained on this site. They will introduce you to the philosophy in each picture book and suggest questions to help you initiate a philosophical discussion with young children.
The links at left will allow you to access press coverage of the Teaching Children Philosophy Program and find other online resources for doing philosophy with children.
You can also access the syllabus to Tom’s Philosophy for Children course in which undergraduates teach philosophy to second graders and watch the PBS Documentary about Tom's college course that won the 2015 Emmy Award for Education films to see 2nd graders discussing philosophy.
