For those who need more space
If you really need space, freedom and you have enough space, then go for it. A good option would be to place this station in the kitchen, then it will be even more convenient for you to work, taking just a few minutes off from cooking.
In this case, the housewife uses her own dining table, and if necessary, all accessories are removed from the surface into the closet, freeing up space for its intended purpose. There is a lot of natural light here, so during the daytime you can create without the lights on.

Take time out to exercise
Oddly enough, but your physical activity during breaks will have a good effect on the entire creative process. Energetic walks, yoga, and weight lifting improve blood circulation and improve mood.
After such a rest, the whole process will be focused and productive. As a rule, the best ideas come spontaneously, so try to combine both the gym and your creative corner in one room.
Also think about access to fresh air; some DIY projects involve working with paints or glue, so make sure you have ventilation in advance.

"Creativity Corner"
The subject-development environment is organized so that every child has the opportunity to freely do what they love. Placing equipment by sectors (development centers) allows children to unite in subgroups based on common interests. A rich subject-developmental and educational environment becomes the basis for organizing an exciting, meaningful life and all-round development of each child. The developing subject environment is the main means of shaping the child’s personality and is the source of his knowledge and social experience.
When creating a “creativity corner” the following tasks are solved:
- Create an atmosphere of emotional comfort
- Create conditions for creative self-expression
- Create conditions for the manifestation of children’s cognitive activity
- Create favorable conditions for perception and contemplation, draw children’s attention to the beauty of nature, painting, arts and crafts, book illustrations, music
A “creativity corner” in the senior group can be created under the motto “Feel – Cognize – Create.” It presents:
Materials for artistic and aesthetic activities, their variety:
- Paints (watercolor, gouache), plasticine, pencils, wax crayons, colored paper of various formats and textures, cardboard, brushes (squirrel or kolinsky) thin, medium and thick; rags for hands and hands, paint palettes, aprons, sippy cups for water, modeling materials.
- Easel
- Literature on art, postcards and albums for viewing. Reproductions, paintings, portraits of artists, small sculptures, works of decorative and applied art (haze, Gzhel, Khokhloma and others).
- Various didactic games for familiarization with: genres - still life, portrait, landscape; with painting, graphics, decorative and applied arts, architecture; with flowers and their shades.
- Natural and waste material
- Musical instruments, toys, technical equipment
- Games and attributes for theatrical performance. These are not only materials characteristic of the theater (screens, dolls, costumes, and so on), but also some materials for familiarization with the environment, fiction. There are also “theatres” and characters made by the children themselves during art classes. Theatricalization includes: table theater, sets of dolls, costumes, books, materials for decorations.
Materials for educational activities
- Nature calendars, collections
- Sensory Education Materials
- Visual material, games, aids to familiarize yourself with the world around you
- Fiction and encyclopedic literature
- Didactic and educational games
- Educational games, technical devices and toys, models, items for experimental research work - magnets, magnifying glasses, springs, scales, beakers, etc.; a large selection of natural materials for studying, experimenting, and making collections
- Table for experimenting with water and sand
The “Creativity Corner” is located in a well-lit and accessible place, where students in their free time draw, sculpt, do appliqué work, explore, and transform themselves into fairy tale heroes. It is a place for children's self-development. The group in the “Creativity Corner” combines various types of activities: drawing, modeling, familiarization with musical instruments, theatrical performances, research and experimental activities, work with natural materials, and familiarization with literature.
The “Creativity Corner” is always an actively working area that helps preschoolers develop an interest in making their own crafts, inventing fairy tales and stories, and studying science.
The creativity corner in kindergarten allows you to create optimal conditions in the group for the development of visual activity, independence and creative activity of children. Children get the opportunity to express themselves in various types of artistic and design activities, get acquainted with the world around them, and learn the properties of objects.
Find a corner that is just yours
A small table opposite the window, a space fenced off with a closet or screen, a tiny nook - you need any place where you can retire and concentrate.
There may be situations when you will make your crafts in several approaches without the ability to hide them each time.

Provide yourself with easy access to all materials
If you start looking for the necessary items in drawers and nightstands, it will be a waste of time. Try to organize everything so that you can easily find all the accessories.
A metal rack will be the most optimal solution. Its shelves will accommodate both large objects and small ones that need to be carefully placed in baskets.
Convenient storage systems and space for children's leisure
Wall-mounted tool stand
This practical and multifunctional tool stand is perfect for the garage. With it, the search for the necessary devices will not take a lot of time and effort, and its appearance will be a source of pride for the owner.
Stand - rack
The rack is a simple and effective means of storing the most frequently used tools. There are the following types of stands:
- Stationary
- Collapsible
- Mobile
- Retractable
- Hanging
The material most often used is wood or plywood. To store screwdrivers and open-end wrenches, holes are created with a drill at the same height, receding at equal intervals to accommodate all the equipment. Hooks are suitable for storing larger tools (hammer, pliers, hacksaw).
After applying the markings, a blank for the stand is cut out with a hacksaw. It is processed to remove roughness using a grinding machine or sandpaper. Then fasteners are installed on the back side of the workpiece, and the workpiece is coated with paint.
It is very important to follow safety precautions, work with gloves, safety glasses, and a mask. This will prevent dust from getting into your eyes and lungs, and will protect your hands from wounds.
The shelves serve well for storing jars of nails and screws, not large power tools. Magnetic tapes and perforated sheets also do a good job of storing tools and have a pleasant appearance.
Magnetic tape is attached with glue and screws and is used for storing both small equipment and relatively large items (wrenches, screwdrivers)
Perforated sheets with hooks are suitable for home and professional workshop. You can place a large number of tools on them in a completely random order, which makes such sheets universal in use. An additional advantage is the ease of installation (using screws, brackets).
Plastic containers are used to place both the smallest items (washers, screws, nuts, buttons) and to store keys, screwdrivers, drills. Such containers can be purchased at the store, or you can use improvised means.
Plastic bottles and oil cans (after preliminary cleaning) are suitable as containers. To do this, they need to cut off the top part and secure it to the stand using nails, screws, and wire.
Glass containers are less applicable in this case, since they are more difficult to secure and there is a risk of breaking them. Containers can be numbered or labeled with a marker.
Stands are used for various purposes and have their own functionality. It all depends on the purpose of the stand, the availability of materials, time and imagination of the master.
Let space reflect all your horizons
The following interior design is filled with the fruits of the owner’s creativity. Her inspiration corner doesn't end at her tiny workspace, but extends throughout the living room.
Blankets, bedspreads, napkins, some decor - all this is the result of the work of a craftswoman who, with her own hands, made her home cozy and interesting.

When you need privacy
This advice is especially relevant for those who live with children or neighbors. Even if the area of your home allows you to expand on a grand scale in any room, it happens that household members can distract you.
Then be sure to think about moving such a station, for example, to your bedroom, where no one will disturb you.

Your mood matters
A creative space should not only be attractive, but also inspire you. Minimize distractions. This doesn't mean you should surround yourself with bare walls.
Find decorating methods that calm you down and aren't too intrusive. Use your imagination, choose wallpapers with nature motifs, soft palettes, textiles.

Surround yourself with motivating objects
Believe in the power of words! A good quote can dramatically change your emotional state. A good option would be posters with your favorite excerpts from books, songs, and poems.
And the board on which you can change the inscription at least every minute will look even more interesting. Below is an interesting project where both the walls and the ceiling can be completely painted.
Eclectic accents and proper organization
Main differences by age group
Children of the younger age group show the greatest interest in drawing. To acquire drawing skills, it is recommended to purchase wax boards and appropriate dry-erase markers. You can also use rolls of wallpaper. They can be mounted on a wall or table. Kids also love to draw with their fingers and palms. For this it is better to use special paints.
For middle preschool age, it is better to organize activities in micro groups of 2-4 children. Successful introduction at this age occurs with modeling, design, and appliqué. You can also begin to introduce children to non-traditional creative techniques. For example, drawing with cotton swabs, printing with foam rubber, candles, corks, drawing with sand, collage. You can use the advice from the book by Morozova D.V.
Older preschoolers are already interested in even more diverse creative and design techniques. I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the publication “Design in kindergarten. Senior group. Notes. Federal State Educational Standard" . Crafts and homemade designs become more complex due to the experience gained in new forms.
Please pay attention to the publication "Crafts for kindergarten" . It is important at this age to cultivate greater independence and self-organization. You can use the following topics: blotography, plasticineography, imprinting with crumpled paper, spraying, drawing with salt. In the preparatory group, more complex experiments can be carried out. For example, drawing on the damp surface of a leaf, blowing droplets across the leaf area.
Be open to creativity in all areas of life
Art permeates everything we do - from preparing dinner for the family to pleasant conversations with friends. Find extra minutes, taking a break from the boring bustle, to plunge into the world of fantasy and your quirks.
A modern kitchen can become a favorite place for family activities.
The space to express your creativity can range from a tiny nook to a significant area of your home.
Organize your work correctly, tune in and surround yourself with objects that will inspire you, and you will find that your daily life will become richer and more enjoyable.
Master class on designing the “Our Creativity” stand
The master class is intended for preschool teachers. Children are also very actively involved in the stand design process. They are very fascinated by watching how their toys, pencils, long-abandoned construction parts, which they considered no longer needed and broken, take on a new life.
To make it you will need:
