Furniture for kindergartens
The presence of comfortable and functional furniture contributes to the normal development of the child. This statement is equally true for both home and kindergarten. The main elements of furniture for preschool institutions include:
- Children's chairs
- Children's tables
- Children's beds
Also, each kindergarten must be equipped with lockers for clothes, shoes and personal belongings of its pupils. A special place is occupied by the kindergarten canteen, where children eat their meals.
Furniture for kindergartens is of the same type (as a rule, a batch of identical pieces of furniture is purchased). First of all, this applies to tables and chairs. For example, when equipping a game room and a dining room, you can choose sets of different designs. The number of pieces of furniture must correspond to the number of students in the group. For nursery, middle and senior groups, furniture is selected taking into account the age distribution adopted in your kindergarten.
It would be very prudent on your part to have several spare sets of children's kindergarten furniture: for replacement or in case of expansion.
Types of furniture for kindergartens
According to its functional purpose, furniture for kindergartens is divided into:
- Dining room furniture
- Household furniture
Bedroom furniture
Play furniture
In terms of their dimensions, items of kindergarten furniture should ensure maximum ease of use and accessibility to the furnishings, games, toys, books, etc. located on them.
In addition, the functional purpose determines the properties that this or that type of furniture for a kindergarten should have. Let's take dining and play furniture as an example. In the first and second cases we are talking about tables and chairs. A table for eating is designed for several people, is characterized by increased moisture resistance and a neutral color scheme, while a table for a games room can have a bright tabletop and decorative elements.
To save space, bunk and even pull-out triple bunk beds are installed in sleeping areas. In this case, all fire safety measures and hygiene standards must be observed.
Requirements for furniture for preschool institutions
Compared to ordinary furniture for adults, children's furnishings differ in their dimensions and weight. They should be as functional as possible and convenient for everyday use, made from non-toxic and durable materials.
The choice of furniture for a kindergarten is based not only on its design and cost, but also on the availability of certificates of conformity confirming the possibility of use in preschool institutions.

Do-it-yourself group decoration in kindergarten
Organizing a group in a kindergarten usually falls on our teachers’ shoulders.
In order for children to feel comfortable, it is necessary to ensure that the environment in the groups is close to home. In addition, a beautifully and tastefully decorated group has aesthetic and developmental significance for children. The main thing is to be creative. I brought all this to the attention of my parents. Someone draws beautifully, someone sews. And this is what happened.
Our group is called "Fireflies". Login to the group is designed like this . I glued an applique of self-adhesive paper to the ceiling tile door.
And this is how I decorated the reception room based on the fairy tale “Kolobok”. Working together with parents.
This is our Miracle Tree for children's creative work. My work.
The wall in the reception area is decorated with an applique of ceiling tiles and self-adhesive paper. Also the work of my hands.
This is how I designed the “Lost” corner. A basket of flowers, a sewn cover, letters and a crow made of felt. I tried to.
stand for crafts made of plasticine. A shoe box covered with self-adhesive paper and decorative felt work. Beauty!
In the group room I decorated the wall with an appliqué , a continuation of the fairy tale “Kolobok”. The bunny is made of fabric, and everything else is made of self-adhesive paper.
A corner of nature is not only a decoration for the group , but also a place for self-education. I decided to make flower stands from stumps and decorate them with felt work . Fabulous forest inhabitants live in a corner of nature. Fedor and Fenya. They are also made from stumps.

The article reveals the concept of environmental education in kindergarten and talks about creating a vegetable garden for all age groups.
Key words: ecology, kindergarten, children, vegetable garden.
One of the areas of development of modern preschool pedagogical science and practice is environmental education of preschool children.
In preschool pedagogy, issues related to the content of environmental education for preschool children are considered; the main approaches to organizing educational activities, as well as the principles of constructing an environmentally friendly developmental subject-spatial environment in a kindergarten. At the same time, the developing subject-spatial environment (in the specialized literature the abbreviation RPPS is used) is considered as a stimulant, a driving force in the holistic process of formation of the child’s personality, promoting the early manifestation of versatile abilities, encouraging the child to be active, inquisitive and initiative [1, 403].
In modern pedagogical practice, the issues of constructing RPES in preschool educational organizations are studied in accordance with the requirements of the federal state educational standard for preschool education, which means that the developing subject-spatial environment should be content-rich, transformable, multifunctional, variable, accessible and safe [5, 19]. In addition, the defining moment in creating a developmental environment is the main educational program that guides the educational institution. It is also important to take into account the characteristics of children attending a certain group: age, level of their development, inclinations, abilities, interests, gender composition, personal characteristics and other characteristics [1, 406].
According to researchers such as V. A. Petrovsky, L. M. Klarina, S. L. Novoselova and others, the model of a developing subject-spatial environment should include three components: subject content, its spatial organization and their changes over time [2, 79]. These three components form the basis of any educational environment of any educational institution and provide a high degree of its variability.
One of the elements of the kindergarten's RPPS is a children's vegetable garden, located on the site of a preschool organization and including all of the above components. Let's look at them in more detail.
The place for the children's garden is chosen to be open, sunny, protected on the north side by buildings, a fence or hedge. The width of the beds is no more than 70 cm, which allows preschoolers to reach the middle of the bed with their hands while working. The height of the ridges depends on the soil characteristics and climate of the area. In the middle zone, the height of the beds is 15–20 cm, so that they do not crumble, the edges are made flat. The length of the beds is up to 3 meters. Crops that are unpretentious to the soil and easy to care for are used for growing on the kindergarten site. The seeds of such crops quickly germinate, grow and ripen, have edible parts, are pleasant to the taste and useful for eating raw, and are interesting to observe [4, 66–67].
The layout of the beds in the children's garden is shown in Fig. 1.
Rice. 1. Scheme for designing beds in a children's garden
Most of the above requirements are satisfied by the following garden crops: onions, sugar peas, beans and beans, radishes, turnips, beets, cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, cabbage (headed, cauliflower, leaf), pumpkin and zucchini, carrots, parsley, squash, sorrel, celery, dill, etc. [7].
Of the listed crops, 1–2 types are needed for the younger groups, 2–3 for the middle group, and 4–6 for the older group. Vegetable plants have many varieties. Only those that are better adapted to local natural conditions are used in working in the children's garden. At the same time, we must remember that for younger preschoolers, vegetable seeds should be large (legumes, pumpkin), and smaller seeds (dill, carrots, beets, etc.) can be sown by older preschoolers.
Mineral fertilizers and synthetic preparations for removing weeds and pests cannot be used in a children's garden. But modern manuals on vegetable and plant growing contain recommendations on how to use work methods that are harmless to children for these purposes. Some of them were tested by the author of the article and positive results were obtained.
Thus, liquid “green fertilizer” is used as a kind of plant growth stimulator. Its action is due to the fact that agronomists and plant growers claim that plants themselves are capable of being a wonderful fertilizer. Moreover, they can be used in three forms: natural (live) - when the green mass of plants is embedded in the ground; rotten (in the form of compost); liquid - in the form of an infusion of green plant mass (liquid “green fertilizer”) [3].
We believe that the fastest, safest, most affordable and effective way for a kindergarten is to use liquid “green fertilizer”. The technology for its preparation is as follows: about 3/4 of the barrel or bucket (you can fill it up) is filled with green mass of cut grass (you can even have seeds), tops, weeds weeded directly from the roots, and stepsons. The whole thing is filled to the top with water. The top of the barrel is closed with any improvised lid or plastic film (then make a couple of holes in it for gas exchange). It is advisable to secure the film with tape or rope. The resulting mixture is left to infuse and ferment for a week and a half. It is after this period of time that the infusion is ready for use. For fertilizing, a solution is used in a ratio of 1:10, that is, 1 liter of infusion per bucket of water.
After using all the infusion, the remaining herb is once again filled with water and after a day or two is used for watering without dilution. Liquid “green fertilizer” made from nettle, woodlice, sweet clover, chickweed, bluegrass and fescue is perfect for feeding any vegetables, as it stimulates the growth and development of plants well. This is due to the features of this type of fertilizer: firstly, it is absorbed by the plant immediately; secondly, due to the alkaline reaction of the solution, the acidity of the soil decreases; thirdly, many microorganisms enter the soil, the secretions of which have a protective effect [3].
In methods of protecting plants from pests and diseases, several groups are currently distinguished: agrotechnical, physical-mechanical, chemical and biological control methods [7, 385]. In kindergartens, biological methods are safe . For example, against many diseases and pests of vegetables I use spraying with herbal decoctions and infusions. Thus, infusions of tops of nightshade crops, leaves or roots of dandelion, celandine, tobacco, onion peels, heads of garlic, horse sorrel, and burdock are good against whiteflies, thrips and aphids. Infusions and decoctions of yarrow, burdock (burdock), chopped tops or shoots of tomatoes, potatoes, nightshade, physalis, mustard, and ash are used against caterpillars on cabbage, radishes, turnips. The combination of planting vegetable and flower crops also helps repel some pests. Such flower crops are: calendula, yarrow, marigolds, nasturtium, hyssop plantings, etc.
As you know, many insects harmful to garden crops can be destroyed by birds. To attract birds (tits, wagtails, sparrows, etc.) a “bird pole” is placed in the garden [6]. See fig. 2
Rice. 2 Scheme for arranging a “bird pole” in a children’s garden
The “bird pole” is installed in the center of the children’s garden at a height of 2.5–4 meters from the ground so that a path is laid to it. Stationary feeders for feeding birds are attached to the pole, and at the top there is a nesting house, which in winter is also replaced with a feeder. On the ground around the post there is a trench for water (this is a summer bird watering hole). Such a post functions all year round - in winter the birds will feed, in the summer they will fly to watering places, in the spring someone will build a nest in the house and begin hatching chicks, and in cold weather sparrows will hide in it from bad weather. Sometimes a “bird column” is also used to organize observations of interesting phenomena of inanimate nature: wind direction, sun movement. For this purpose, additional elementary devices are installed.
Thus, the interest of birds in the garden and garden crops does not end with the spring - summer period. In addition, the “bird pole” is an aesthetic decoration for a children’s garden at any time of the year, and its arrangement in a children’s garden helps to fulfill such requirements for RPPS as multifunctionality and variability.
