The presence of a brightly decorated stand in itself attracts attention. In addition, it allows you to obtain important information in an accessible form.
These devices are often used in administrative, educational, children's and other institutions. In addition, they can complement the interior of any home.
In this article we will tell you how to make a stand with your own hands using available materials and a simple set of tools.
How to achieve information content when creating a stand?
It is better to make do-it-yourself stands for a kindergarten according to a strictly defined plan:
- At the top is a heading, written or printed large, in a straight line or with a curved base;
- Below the title are images. They should be placed across the entire width of the poster or a space should be made for words (depending on the volume of text);
- Below the pictures are direct congratulations and wishes, in prose or poetic form;
- Below is the signature (“kindergarten administration”, “Your teachers”, “Your parents”, etc.).
Selection of base material
The base of the stand determines how long it will last. The main raw material for the stand is PVC plastic. Plastics from different manufacturers differ from each other.
For example, plastic made in China has a large, porous structure and, as a result, it is more fragile than German, Israeli and Hungarian PVC.
Plastics from Russia have begun to gain popularity, but their quality is not the best. How does Chinese plastic differ from another country of origin?
All polymeric raw materials, including plastic, polycarbonate, self-adhesive films, polystyrene, and plexiglass, are capable of changing their overall appearance under the influence of different temperatures.
- Plastic made in China is very susceptible to such changes.
- It reveals fragility at temperatures of 0 degrees and below and is very soft at elevated temperatures: +25 or more.
- Over time, a stand made of such material will become wavy, and a piece may break off during installation.
Visibility and its implementation
For a stand to be perceived as an interior decoration, it must be in harmony with it. You should not focus only on the informative part. Pictures, images, photographs are required next to the inscriptions on the stand.
If the stand is dedicated to the New Year celebration, it must have a decorated Christmas tree. If March 8 - mimosa or a bouquet of other flowers. If it's Mother's Day - an image of a woman's face with a smile.
A bright background created by completely covering the surface with colored paper or painting it with paints will help provide clarity.
Clarity and its personification
Do not forget that the stand is made, first of all, for the audience. Both adults and small children can act as them. They understand vivid images - Father Frost, Snow Maiden, a fireman in uniform, etc., numbers that carry meaning (31, 23, 8). Symbols and branding are best left for other purposes.
The title should be as accurate and succinct as possible. There is no need to make it poetic or burden it with epithets: it is more important for children what kind of holiday they are preparing to celebrate.
Purpose of corner design
The classroom corner is designed to become an assistant for the teacher in organizing the educational process. To do this, the information posted on it must help achieve certain goals:
- maximum expansion of students' horizons;
- effective and high-quality work with parents;
- improving the results of educational and extracurricular activities;
- development of creative inclinations, realization of the creative potential of students;
- class unity, fostering collectivism;
- formation of aesthetic taste of students.
The principle of accessibility: “let me touch it!”
If the stand is placed in a kindergarten or school classroom, children will inevitably become overly curious. Some people will want to take a closer look, and some will want to touch it. So that the result of creativity does not go to waste in the very first minutes of public viewing, you need to make it tangible.
For example:
- Attach felt leaves in yellow and orange tones to the stand for Autumn Day,
- For a stand in honor of Easter, attach a wicker surface that imitates a basket, or an eggshell, painted in different shades,
- Decorate the stand dedicated to May 9 with real St. George ribbons and carnations cut out of red corrugated paper.
A DIY children's educational stand is a prime example of accessibility. Its design depends on the age of the children for whom it is intended.
Such a busy board will help develop curiosity and promote exploration of the world around us.
For children 2-3 years old, felt flowers and trees of different shades and shapes will do.
The middle group can enjoy the following attached to the stand:
- Cubes,
- Pyramids,
- For an hour.
For members of the preparatory group - letters and road signs, tiny tools or any other gizmos from everyday life:
- Landline phone dial,
- Mixer valve,
- Door knob,
- Espagnolette,
- Chain,
- Old calculator,
- Wheel,
- Compass,
- Klaxon, etc.
What is a business board?
This is a game development board with various parts and elements located on it that are safe for children to play. Such parts are capable of moving, opening and closing, clicking, rotating, lighting and blinking, and making sounds.
The bodyboard may include:
- padlock, latches, latches. Children will open them, close them, push them in;
- a doorbell with a soft sound, a clock dial;
- buttons and switches - after pressing them, the light comes on;
- an old telephone set, the circle of which must be twisted with your finger;
- a socket not connected to electricity, and a plug connected to it;
- ribbons, laces and ropes from which children will tie bows;
- snaps and buttons, zippers and various fasteners;
- shreds from pieces of fabric, oilcloth, paper, foil;
- abacus or beads - the child will sort them out in his hands.
You can decorate the development board with pictures of nature, drawings of animals and birds, images of letters and numbers. You can add whatever your imagination desires to such a product. The busy board can be constantly supplemented with new elements when the child grows up or becomes uninterested in playing. You will understand this yourself by his behavior.
Unusual solutions for ordinary stands
A collage is the best option if you have to prepare a stand with your child as an assignment for a group celebration or to participate in a competition.
Unlimited creative freedom:
- You can include any newspaper cutouts in your collage,
- Magazines,
- Advertising pictures,
- Suitable for the topic.
The following can be glued to the stand sheet:
- Natural materials (dried leaves, small pebbles),
- Applications made of paper (snowflakes or flowers) or fabric (felt, knitted fabric),
- Handicraft small items (bugle beads, beads, beads, threads of yarn, pompoms);
You can also make stands for children's crafts with your own hands. It can be called “Our Vernissage” or “Exhibition of Crafts”.
- To attach drawings to the stand, you can use pins or magnets. To demonstrate three-dimensional crafts (made of plasticine, cardboard, corrugation, etc.) - paper or knitted “pockets”;
- temporary stand, or stand-template. This will be convenient when you need to impromptu prepare for a celebration or when there is absolutely no time to decorate the group.
- For it you will need: self-adhesive letters (the entire alphabet) and numbers, button magnets, double-sided tape, a sponge (to give volume to the inscriptions), universal pictures (flowers, leaves, candles, stars, etc.);
- DIY information stands for kindergarten differ from all others by the presence of plastic frames or “pockets” for placing official information concerning parents.
- In all other respects, they should serve as decoration for a children's group: have a bright design with expressive characters - Leopold the cat, Carlson, a train, a hedgehog, a daisy, etc.
Such boards can be made in an unusual shape - in the form of a cloud or a light, a star or a sun - this way they will quickly attract the attention of parents.
What a development board will teach a child
Today, great attention is paid to the early development of children. Parents try to teach the baby various wisdom early. A busy board is necessary to keep your child busy with an interesting educational game. He will explore the world on his own, even without the help of his elders.
During such exciting activities, the baby develops the following skills:
- logic - the child builds a chain of conclusions: to ring the bell, you need to press a button; to open the door, you need to pull the latch up;
- fine motor skills of the hands - the baby learns to work with small objects, receives new tactile sensations;
- perseverance - a daughter or son will finish the job they start in order to achieve a positive result - tie a bow, open a lock;
- attention and memory - children remember their actions with small details and objects, and later they will perform them automatically.
According to the Montessori method, parents should not interfere with the process of their child playing with a busy board. Let your child find solutions and draw conclusions on his own.
