Kinds
Designers offer “professionally oriented” furniture for playrooms, complexes of several modules, made in accordance with the age characteristics of children, promoting motivation for play activities - taking on roles, performing algorithms:
- for girls you can find kitchens, hairdressers, dressing rooms, doctor's offices, store counters;
- for boys in the children's room, play furniture for kindergartens is produced in the form of transformer modules, from which children can jointly assemble a car, or the walls of a fortress - actively interact with it.
All furniture in a kindergarten, for outdoor or indoor use, must comply with a whole list of sanitary and hygienic requirements and be safe for students.
The choice of children's play furniture for kindergartens when planning an area is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard, based on the age of the pupils and the number of children in groups. An important role in the arrangement process is played by the opinion and initiative of parents - part of the furnishings can be done with your own hands, subject to compliance with all standards.
Children's toy furniture involves arranging corners for role-playing games. Here, toy houses become an integral part, in which children can learn socially significant skills in a playful way. At the same time, not only girls, but also boys can play in the houses - the latter are often assigned the role of guests coming for tea. The boys' "house" can be stylized as a garage or a captain's bridge.
You can divide play furniture for kindergarten into the following categories:
- outdoor - houses, modules with swings, slides, sandboxes;
- for interior spaces - plastic houses, tents, role-playing modules, transformer modules.
In the first case, the structures are static. Made from impact-resistant, moisture-resistant materials - wood, plastic and metal structures. Materials are painted in bulk or using special impregnations, wood or metal paints.
In the case where children's furniture is intended for use in a group, it can be made:
- with a rigid, static frame;
- in the form of collapsible modules;
- children's soft play furniture, from which pupils can build sofas, cars, boats, and other furnishings.
Furniture items also take into account the possibility of storing children's toys.
For the street
For kindergartens, outdoor children's play furniture is designed primarily to meet children's needs not only for communication and interaction, but also for physical activity. Manufacturers offer entire complexes made in accordance with the requirements of SanPin, environmental safety and the characteristics of the psychophysiological development of preschool children. If parents take on the task of organizing playgrounds and want to set up a playground with their own hands, you need to enlist the support of a specialist who is knowledgeable about safety standards and requirements. This means that play furniture as in the photo must have the following qualities:
- stability, reliable fixation on the ground. Children's temperament is activity, mobility, a desire to experiment, to shake the structure. Whether it’s a slide, a swing, or a section with a basketball hoop, the module must remain motionless and prevent the structure from falling;
- the absence of sharp corners is another important factor in preventing injuries;
- the material used is impact-resistant, guaranteed to withstand the declared weight load;
- the design must have comfortable non-slip steps and railings, reliable fences;
- decorative, movable elements are securely fastened. Joints, hinges, bearings are closed to prevent pinching of clothing, child’s skin, fingers;
- surfaces are easy to clean if necessary, resistant to sanitary treatment.
Outdoor play furniture for children will become a real field of miracles if you choose and install it wisely. When installing swings, houses, and slides, adults should remember that, despite manufacturers’ assurances about the safety of the products, children should play outside under the supervision of teachers.
For indoors
Furniture for a children's playroom, according to the recommendations of the Federal State Educational Standard, should have multifunctionality, the ability to modify the environment and contribute to the development of spatial perception, motor skills, and imagination. While serving as a toy, furniture must remain a reliable and safe piece of furniture:
- Manufacturers make transformable tables, chairs, racks for toys, “hair salon” and “doctor’s offices” modules for girls, garages and ships, houses for boys from high-quality, certified materials - natural beech, laminated chipboard, bent plywood;
- the metal frame is coated with polymer powder paint;
- Water-based varnish is preferred as a coating;
- products made from wood panels or plastic must be odorless, without any harmful substances that can cause illness to children in the room or cause allergies;
- sharp corners are contraindicated - the outlines of the parts should have rounded protruding parts;
- Children's furniture may contain drawers, sections for toys, while all parts are securely fixed, and fasteners are securely closed with plugs. No protruding nails or screws.
Children's soft play furniture consists of modular elements with which a child can build a house, a car or design another object. The various designs and shapes of such modules allow children to find replacement toys and gain a wide variety of experiences.
Upholstered furniture for kindergartens, used as play furniture, can be of 3 types:
- frame - the product is based on a frame made of metal or wood filled with foam rubber, which is covered with fabric on top. Flock is often used for these purposes - it is abrasion resistant and easy to care for;
- frameless or filling type - similar to the well-known bean bag chair. Penoplex as a filler allows you to give such a module a bag absolutely any shape. For children, such a product provides real scope for imagination and experimentation. This option is easy to manufacture and parents can make such modules with their own hands;
- soft-filled - here, in addition to foam rubber, vinyl artificial leather is used. The material is easy to care for, does not stretch, and is economical in cost.
There are modifications equipped with wheels for movement. This could be furniture in the shape of animals, which the child can ride on while sitting astride. At the same time, the elastic upholstery will reliably soften the blow in the event of a fall.
Play areas
The arrangement of a play space in a kindergarten should include the following points:
- opportunity for outdoor games - there should be enough space for children to be active;
- furniture for role-playing games. This includes houses, “kitchen” type complexes, where there are kitchen utensils, sets of dishes and products, a toy medical office, a hairdresser, a store - or a colorful rack with a window that can become a pharmacy or a post office;
- racks and containers for toys. After all, one of the important functions of the play area is to teach children order;
- special boards or sections of the wall with a washable coating on which students can draw.
When organizing your space, you should take into account that boys can be more active than girls. Children should not interfere with each other while playing.
Playhouses
Manufacturers of play furniture offer a large selection of houses for children of different ages. These can be “home” and outdoor structures. Most of them are easy to assemble, so even girls can handle the device. This is important, because they are often the ones who make up the kindergarten staff:
- For younger children, inflatable models are recommended. There are no sharp corners here; the floor acts as a trampoline. Children will happily run and frolic inside such a house. Another option is a tent house in the form of an Indian wigwam or a fairy-tale tent. The disadvantage of such options is their lightness and instability. With high activity, children can turn it over;
- houses made of cardboard - suitable for older preschoolers. These structures can be painted, giving the house the look of your choice;
- plastic structures - quite compact in size for indoor use; street options are larger, may have 2 floors, extensions in the form of slides, ropes, ladders or swings;
- wooden houses - used outdoors, they can become a smaller copy of a log house or tower.
When giving preference to a house model, be sure to take into account the conditions of its use, the age of the pupils, and their needs. Will it be a compact model or a spacious option with space for toys. For mixed groups, it is better to choose a universal design that is suitable for boys and girls playing.
Primary requirements
When choosing furniture for a kindergarten, the following factors must be taken into account:
- meeting safety requirements;
- Ease of use;
- practicality;
- design.
Compliance with safety lies in the requirements for the material from which furniture for a kindergarten can be made. It must be made of wood without paint coatings containing toxins. It can be oak, birch, pine, E1 class chipboard, plywood. Loose fastenings and sharp corners can also be a source of danger.
Cribs and lockers should be comfortable to use, that is, suitable for the age, height, and other physical characteristics of the children. If this factor is not taken into account, then health problems (postural curvature) and injuries are possible.
GOST has developed sizes for each age.
| Age | Length | Width | Height of the fence from the floor | Height from floor |
| Up to 3 years | 120 cm | 60 cm | 95 cm | From 30 to 50 cm |
| From 3 to 7 years | 140 | 60 cm | — | 30 |
Some pieces of furniture in the garden are common to everyone. But there are those available for the use of every child. This is an individual locker, bed.
The child needs to be taught how to use every thing safely, take care of it, explain what and how it functions. If from childhood you are taught to maintain order and to treat surrounding objects with care, then it will become easier for children to move forward with a developed sense of order and thrift. You need to start with furniture for a kindergarten, a corner of nature, with a toy house.

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.
