The significance of thinking and wisdom of humankind is so high that the mission of prophets is helping humans to know better and to correct and reinforce their ability of thinking. That is why the most common application of training and education could be regarded as nurturing of thinking (Akbari, 2013). One of the significant objectives of most of educational systems is thinking and improvement of ability to think (Safai Moghadam, 2007). To attribute significance to the world, they need information about their experiences, process them and to which they respond (Marashi, 2007). Philosophy for children is the most practical philosophical tendency that responds to the essential and global requirement. That is why it is commonly welcomed and public welcome of philosophy for children led to promotion of its educational courses (Ghara Melki, 2006)
