A Children's Bedroom And Montessori Nursery
It is always a good idea to blend Montessori school with home. Continuing their education while in the comfort of home can give them a positive experience. If you don't send your child to Montessori school you can still create their bedroom to be Montessori style so they can improve their learning and understanding. Dr. Montessori has a theory about this idea regarding living minimal and nature can go hand in hand. For example toys should always be manual toys so the child can focus and concentrate more. Shapes and textures are also important in learning. At the same time learning should be relaxed and fun. This helps your child learn all the basics of math and science using hands on and not memorization.
Make sure that your child's room is open and has a bunch of room for them to play in; don't over crowd it with furniture. Choose colors that go with the toys you have gotten. Most of the times you will want to go with a color that is a bit brighter.
You can also use pictures as part of their decor but do not display cartoon characters. Instead display natural photos. The same goes for stuffed animals, they must inspire nature. Block letters and numbers can be used to inspire your child to learn and they will automatically blend well with the rest of the decor.
A good way to incorporate the letters and numbers into the room is by purchasing an area rug with this design. With minimal furniture in the room your child will spend much of his or her time on the floor. Using an area rug makes these symbols a part of your child's playtime and allows them to more readily recognize the symbols. This helps to prepare your child for reading and writing or reinforce what they have already learned. The colors in the area rug will draw the room together and make it flow from one item to another and protect the flooring underneath.
In addition to the rug you can create collages of pictures and letters. To do this you need to select bright colored pictures of a variety of animals. Then you can arrange the animals by groups based on the letter they start with. If you are doing the letter B you want to add pictures of bears, bees, birds, and others. This will be fun and educational.
Though it sounds a bit sparse this type of room will help out your child in their learning and the development of their skills over the years. Setting up the room for not only education but also fun will have your child staying busy all the time. Don't worry they always come up with new toys that are made for education, and for all ages, so each year you should be able to add to the toy stock, and take out the ones you child will have outgrown.
