In such activities, children create their hypothesis and exemplify their thoughts. They listen to their friends, evaluate their ideas and contribute different perspectives and they try to acquire the answers for the questions. Undoubtedly, the philosophy points the importance of disciplined thinking and shows us the path to the truth. Children can benefit from these and sustain their curiosity and learning motivation, create unique ideas and perspectives and develop thinking skills without borders. If you take a look at an apple just from one side, it might look fresh, healthy. You take a bite and think that it tastes as good as it looks. But you should have also taken a look at the other side of the apple to see that tiny worm out of its hole.

Philosophy is just like that. You try to understand a concept thoroughly, create ideas, evaluate them and try to find answers.
