``Hi everyone..i actually did a workshop last summer called From Bob the Builder to Batman......lots of practitioners there of course....the Course Leader led some heated debates that day on what we do in our respective settings...some allow gun and superhero play..and have the dress up to encourage it...others were not so sure and did not allow it....the course leader was very good and explained that the boys especially from a very early age loved their superheroes....and would imitate them anyway they could-- as we know-- drumsticks,chopsticks,stickle bricks make excellent weapons......some say " we don't have guns at Nursery ".others channel the energy by gently explaining the danger of real weapons.....we were left that day with some good ideas for superhero play...but not forced to fall one side of the fence or the other.......the debate I'm afraid will go on endlessly...
