The possibility of forming natural concepts in older preschool children is proved. Analyzed and selected in accordance with the purpose of the study, the definition of the term "concept" indicates that natural concepts are part of ecological competence of the child. Unlike representations, which reflect the object in a set of many different features, both significant and insignificant, the concepts carry a general, social experience, denote the essence of the object and distinguish it from all other objects. An important task of the teacher is to stimulate students' desire to acquire knowledge independently, to transform children in active participants in the educational process, to understand the essential features and connections of phenomena and objects of nature, which means to form concepts about them.
