Introductory Buddhism for kids?

Does anyone know if there are any places giving lessons in Introductory Buddhism for kids? I was thinking of sending my 9-year old for some basic Buddhism classes during this Holiday.

Stating the obvious, if the ts is so capable, he won't be requesting it.Originally posted by Cenarious:whats wrong? -
Have you even been to any "basic" buddhism class? It's like a page from buddhanet's beginner's section split into 10 weeks.Originally posted by Herzog_Zwei:Stating the obvious, if the ts is so capable, he won't be requesting it. -
If the TS is not buddhist in the beginning? How do you expect him or her to teach the child?Originally posted by Cenarious:Have you even been to any "basic" buddhism class? It's like a page from buddhanet's beginner's section split into 10 weeks. -
He only needs to know how to comprehend a page of text. Or post his queries on some forum like this one.Originally posted by Herzog_Zwei:If the TS is not buddhist in the beginning? How do you expect him or her to teach the child? -
Why doesn't he work on himself first before sending his child to be a guinea pig if thats the case lolOriginally posted by Herzog_Zwei:If the TS is not buddhist in the beginning? How do you expect him or her to teach the child? -
