How to furnish a children's room for a child aged 3-5 years
Furnishing a children's room for a child aged 3-5 years is a responsible process, on which the comfort and development of the child largely depends.
First of all, you should decide on the design and color scheme.
At this age, children are very active and mobile, so the room should have enough free space for games and activities, says Yulia Tychino .
It is advisable to choose light, pastel colors - blue, pink, green, yellow. Bright colors can overexcite the child.
It is also important to take care of the lighting. The room should be well lit by daylight.
It is worth installing several sources of artificial lighting - a chandelier on the ceiling and table lamps. This will help create coziness and comfort for studying and playing.
It is necessary to equip a comfortable place for sleeping and resting. The crib and mattress should correspond to the age and height of the child.
It is advisable to place a bedside table for a night light, books and toys near the bed. You can also place soft children's furniture in the room - a sofa, ottomans, a bean bag chair. These are places for games and privacy.
Organizing space for games and activities is another important point in arranging a child's room. At this age, a child needs a lot of toys, so you should provide places for storing them.
Open shelves, racks, plastic containers and baskets are excellent options.
Toys should be accessible to the child so that he can independently get his favorite toys and arrange everything as he wishes.
To develop motor skills and creativity, you need a creative corner. The table and children's chairs should match the child's height. Paper, pencils, paints, plasticine and other creative materials can be placed on the tabletop. A cabinet or shelves for storing materials can be installed nearby.
It is very useful to equip a children's corner with a play kitchen. You can put a children's stove, kitchen set, toy dishes there. Such games develop motor skills, imagination and role-playing skills in children.
For physical activity, it is necessary to allocate space for active games.
You can lay a carpet and select safe sports equipment - balls, skittles, ring toss. It is also advisable to organize an area with soft modules for climbing, jumping, balance exercises.
An important aspect when arranging a children's room is the organization of a place for study and development. The table and chair should correspond to the child's height, so that it is comfortable for him to draw, construct, sit with a book.
Place a rack or shelves nearby for books, workbooks, and coloring books.
To develop mathematical abilities and logic, you can hang a magnetic board and buy sets for games with numbers, letters, geometric figures. Board games - puzzles, mosaics, lotto will also be useful. They teach counting, develop memory and attention.
Avoid overloading the space with educational aids and toys. It is important to alternate zones for active play and quiet activities.
Children at this age quickly get tired of monotony; they need a variety of impressions and activities.
It is useful to set up a small area for privacy where the child can be in silence with a book or a toy.
This could be a corner with a soft sofa, pouf, divided by a screen or a shelving unit. Such personal space is important for 3-5 year old children.
The main thing is that the children's room is safe, comfortable and allows the child to develop, explore the world, communicate and play.
Proper organization of space will create a comfortable environment for the development of a harmonious personality.
