Every interested parent goes through the experience of decorating children's themed corners with their own hands. The pets themselves and teachers participate in the creation of this mandatory element of the interior in preschool and school institutions.
The items that make up the composition can be crafts made during classes or specially selected items (souvenirs, printed materials) that have developmental significance.
In kindergarten and elementary grades, parents can also be involved in equipping the corners. Their indirect participation is also implied at subsequent stages of study, when students, having received an appropriate creative task, turn to family members for help.
Interior features in kindergarten
Decorating rooms for games and activities allows you to zoning the space and optimally use visual attributes in the process of raising and developing a child.
In addition to permanent corners with toys, construction sets and materials for manual labor, stands and shelves with children’s work are organized, which are periodically updated.Thematic exhibitions with crafts and drawings complement the theme of the matinees; they can change in accordance with the seasons and holiday dates.
To create an exhibition board for drawings, the most suitable material is considered to be a lightweight cork sheet on which the paper can be fixed using buttons. It can be rectangular or with a curly cut.
The cork board is installed on a wooden, plastic or aluminum frame, which is firmly fixed to the wall. The surface of the stand can be painted or decorated with figures made of self-adhesive paper.
To create a display board, the content of which is updated daily, you can use a frame with stretched fabric, while the drawings are secured with safety pins.
Making your own passe-partout and special pockets for paper is an integral part of decorating corners in kindergarten.
The ability to abandon buttons and other metal fasteners will protect children and they will be able to change exhibits on their own.
To place bulky crafts, it is convenient to use narrow wall shelves. You can creatively add images of fairy-tale characters in poses supporting stands for figurines made by children into the background of the design.
Health corner in kindergarten: how to make it yourself, design and useful photos
Introducing preschoolers to a healthy lifestyle is one of the important tasks of a kindergarten. And here interaction with the families of the pupils plays a huge role. Of course, parents are most interested in preserving the health of their child. However, not all of them have a medical education and are competent in various issues. Therefore, the teacher’s task is to help moms and dads and convey valuable information to them. And a specially equipped health corner in each group will help with this. Moreover, it will interest not only parents, but also the children themselves.
The importance of the health corner in a group
A modern person needs to think seriously about his health, because the active use of the achievements of civilization is fraught with negative consequences for physical fitness, and sometimes for mental state. Therefore, many caring parents of a very early age try to teach their children an active lifestyle, healthy eating, and a proper daily routine. In some families, insufficient attention is paid to these points, since their importance is underestimated. In this regard, the main goal of the health corner, which should be created in each preschool group, is to help mothers and fathers protect and improve the health of their children.
Not all families lead a healthy and active lifestyle, so tips in the health corner will help parents realize the importance of these points
This goal is realized through specific tasks.
- Give specific recommendations on the physical education of preschool children (issues of hygiene, posture, hardening, etc.)
- Talk about the importance of properly organizing your daily routine.
- Provide information on the prevention of infectious diseases.
- Consult the family on psychological issues (for example, adaptation to kindergarten, preparation for school, etc.).
Medical corners also benefit preschoolers themselves. With their help, you can easily explain to children many useful things that help them maintain their health. This should only be important information so that the child’s attention does not wander (for example, a specific visual algorithm for washing hands or brushing teeth). The children's audience of the health corner includes students from the middle, senior and preparatory groups.
Sometimes a teacher organizes a health corner in a group room exclusively for preschoolers. There are a variety of didactic pictures for children (for example, “Healthy and poisonous mushrooms and berries”), books on suitable topics, posters (for example, about the structure of the human body), layouts, workbooks (for senior and preparatory groups), and didactic games (“ Askorbinka and her friends”, etc.). A game character, a Doctor Aibolit doll, is also often placed in this zone.
This health zone is organized, as a rule, starting from middle preschool age. But if you wish, you can also arrange it for younger preschoolers.
Sometimes in a group the health zone is combined with a physical education corner.

In the corner there are diagrams, pictures, coloring books and educational books. Various information can be placed on the “health tree”. In the health corner for younger preschoolers there are mainly game characters, bright pictures and puzzles
Requirements for the design of a medical corner
There are no strict standards for the design of a medical corner in the group. This zone should be located in the place where parents (or legal representatives) spend the most time in kindergarten - and this is the locker room (or reception room).
When designing a health corner, the teacher must show creativity and imagination - then it will interest mom or dad (after all, today any information can be found and read on the Internet). The following important points need to be taken into account.
- Location. Information should be placed in a visible place to attract the attention of parents. At the same time, the corner should fit harmoniously into the overall interior of the locker room.
- Titles of materials play an important role. They should be bright and “catchy”, causing a desire to get acquainted with the information. For example, you don’t need to dryly write “Basic methods of preventing influenza and acute respiratory infections,” but expressively indicate “Strong immunity will defeat colds!” or “The flu won’t go away!” Another example: not “How to prepare a child for school,” but “Let’s go to school with joy!”
- The material presented should be extremely simple and accessible. After all, not all adults have deep knowledge in the field of medicine. Incomprehensible terms and phrases, complex syntactic structures will only scare off the reader. It is good to present information in a abstract manner (for example, in the form of numbered lists), in the form of step-by-step instructions (each step in a separate frame) - this structures the material well and highlights the main ideas.
- The text must be carefully checked for grammatical and syntax errors.
- The font should not be small (bulky articles cut out from magazines are not acceptable). It's good when its color contrasts with the background. The title should be made larger and highlighted in a different color.
- Colorfulness. A well-designed medical corner involuntarily attracts the eye with its rich colors, bright illustrations, and interesting photographs. Any textual information must be accompanied by clarity, especially since the audience of the health zone is not only adults, but also children. Popular characters from fairy tales and cartoons, or just funny little animals, would be very appropriate.
- The material must be updated periodically (at least once a month) so that interest in the health corner does not fade away.
The title of the material should be concise and bright The information is typed in large font and has a contrasting title Colorful and unusual design involuntarily attracts attention The medical corner should be located in a prominent place and fit harmoniously into the interior of the reception room The
teacher should think of a bright name for the medical corner, because it also attracts the reader’s attention and influences subsequent perception of information. You can take note of these options.
- "Advice from Doctor Aibolit."
- "Advice from Doctor Thermometer."
- “There is no disease in the country.”
- “Just a little bit.”
- "Healthy."
- "Our health."
- "For a healthy lifestyle".
- “Health is great!”
Certain means are used to design and fill the medical corner. First of all, these are stands. They have plastic pockets in which information is placed on a thematic basis (for example, in one - tips on disease prevention, in the other - recommendations on general physical education). Pictures are also inserted into these pockets.

Another popular means of decorating and filling a corner is sliding folders (they are screens made of thick paper). They are installed on booths, usually directly under the stand. Such manuals can be purchased ready-made on a variety of topics, or you can make them yourself - in the form of several files (materials can be changed).
The sliding folder is a paper screen that is placed on children's booths
Sometimes file folders are posted in the health corner. They are designed like a book that you can flip through. If desired, parents can take such material home to familiarize themselves with it more thoroughly.

Day after day you need to repeat the necessary rules. It is useful not only to talk about, but also to show, for example, why brush your teeth and how to do it correctly, what to wear in summer and what in winter, what vaccinations are, etc. You can also demonstrate the materials themselves (brush, clothes, doctor’s kit and other). It is worth involving children in improvised scenes and teaching them to use objects for their intended purpose.

Sports family – healthy child
Parents are the most significant people for everyone throughout their lives. For a small child, they are role models. The child’s life activities directly depend on their lifestyle. The health corner should also contain information about a healthy lifestyle and the need for parents and children to spend time together.
