Philosophy for Children

    We are doing a philosophy project in the school I teach for 4th, 5th and 6th grade of primary. I had a nozy around here but couldn't find any similar threads, I'm basically wondering what recommendations would the regulars around here give?

    Any suggested reading/resources?
    Or perhaps interesting theories/questions that could be explored by the students?

    help very kindly appreciated!
