Every adult needs their own space, but what many people don't realize is that kids can often benefit from having a designated area that they can call all their own. Kids need a space that is appropriate in scale in which to explore and learn about their world while being safe and protected.
What do they like to do in their very own space? Small children seem to love drawing or painting, whether it's a picture of Mom, one of Dad, or their sister or brother, or sometimes it can be a favorite teacher. And when their creations are hung for display on the refrigerator door, they are so pleased and proud.
Having a space that is all their own is an important factor in a young child's life. This is the space they feel safe to read, play, imagine, or even create their own world to escape into. What's really important is they can be as creative as they want to!
This space could best be described as a creative station. For the most important and personal place for a child, it is very important that the furniture fit properly -- a kids table and chair set are perfect. By utilizing a kids table and chair set, you are allowing for the possibility of a friend being invited into the space where creativity is allowed to flow unchecked. There should be supplies on hand to encourage creativity and play; an art set, a puzzle, books, etc.
Being creative is just one of many ways that children learn about the world that is around them. When the time comes to set up a room for your child, keep this in mind. One thing that is very important to remember is that children are smaller than adults and need to have their space set up to accommodate their size and needs.
Use the idea of a tree house to provide the inspiration for your child's room for helping you to visualize things on their level. Consider hanging pictures lower so that they are closer to to a child's eye-level. Bring the scale of the room to their size!
Remember that this room is the place the child is going to go to for comfort, peace, and play; create a room that encourages all of this and allows them to grow at their own pace in their own way. - 33381
