Abstract
The article deals with theoretical ideas about legal literacy and legal culture of preschoolers as the basis for sustainable development of the education system. The essential characteristics of the concept "legal literacy for senior preschool children" at the initial stages of personality formation as a combination of the following components have been determined: children's ideas about rights and obligations, values of morality and law, assessment of their own actions and behavior of other people from the point of view of the rule of law. The author's technology for the formation of legal literacy in senior preschool age is described (a cycle of educational events, joint activities of teachers and children, free activities of children, etc.). In the course of the experiment, methodological support was developed for the process of forming the foundations of legal literacy in children of senior preschool age: “a piggy bank of legal stories”, scenarios for ethical conversations, discussions, travel games; projects aimed at studying family traditions, holidays, rules of conduct, ensuring rights and freedoms in families of preschoolers: traditions of grandparents, work plan of the young parents club; requirements for the organization of a developing object-spatial environment.
