Queensland's education minister has backed a regional kindergarten issuing licences to children who want to play with toy guns to teach them about weapon safety.

The C&K kindergarten at Kilkivan, a rural town near Gympie, allows three and four-year-olds to play with guns if they obtain a "licence".

A south-east Queensland kindergarten lets kids play with guns if they obtain a "licence".

The licence lets children "use a pretend gun at kindy" only if they shoot at targets, pretend pests like dingoes and foxes and the ground.

Children lose their licence for the day if they point their gun at other people or pretend to shoot them.
