Abstract: Children’s formal right to participate in the formation of their everyday life in Norwegian kindergar-tens, has led to several discussions of democracy connected to young children in kindergartens. This article repre-sents an element in these discussions, based on experiences from fieldwork in a Norwegian Kindergarten. The main focus is the playful community of peers and what negotiation of participation is related to, in this community. Four observations of children’s negotiation of participation provide the content and the structure of the article. The aim is to reveal the problematic and various ways children are constructers and also being constructed as citizens in their community of peers.
