For children to have their own space in the house helps them understand personal space. It also generates a sense of ownership which, down the line, helps them become independent and confident individuals. Children, particularly those aged 1-10, are in their most essential developmental stage. With their growing bodies and expanding minds, they should be provided with furniture explicitly constructed for their growth. Children are constantly eager to play. They are always walking about the home, playing with anything they can get their hands on. Without question, children require time to play. As responsible parents, we should understand their needs. Hence, provide them with a safe & constructive environment that not only keeps them engaged but also helps in their overall physical and mental development.
Setting up a playroom for your children is a great way to encourage them to play. There is no one method to build a child’s playroom; however, here are a few suggestions you can consider for choosing suitable toys and furniture for your child.

Build a Problem-solving Space
Allowing your child to solve problems teaches them how to approach challenging circumstances and solve them independently. Activities include opening and shutting containers, opening and closing locks with a new set of keys, making meals for oneself, and many more. These exercises are basic and quick to put up, yet they have a purpose.
A parent’s most important concern is to have a space for their children that allows them to play independently. Follow their pattern, look for what your children enjoy doing the most, which activity they prefer to do again and again, and then set a routine for them that also fits your schedule.
Along with teaching some day-to-day activities that build independence, opt for accessible, safe, child-friendly furniture that invites open-ended play. Child furniture like wooden bookshelves, toy racks, and a play couch are excellent options.
Make Reading Fun!
The desire to read and learn to read begins at home. It is important to introduce children to the world of imagination at an early age through books. But, most importantly, reading is fun because it lets you explore a world full of imagination. This is where a parent learns more about their child; with preferences of books, genres, and characters, one can understand the interests of their child.
According to research by The Ohio State University College of Education and Human Ecology, kids who read or are read about five books a day enter kindergarten knowing 1.4 million more words.
Reading helps to improve vocabulary, comprehension, and phonological awareness. This phonological awareness is made up of passively learned speech patterns and intricacies in pronunciation. All of this information begins with home reading. So, keep a beautiful bookshelf that adds to the room’s ambience and is also filled with books your kid loves.
Give an Outdoor Experience in an Indoor Setting
We are living in unexpected times with the threats of global warming and pandemics. A child having a safe environment to explore their surroundings is as crucial as having nutritious food. Physical activity has vital physiological advantages for children, but it also serves as a vehicle for children to interact with their peers and environment. In early childhood, independent movement is connected to cognitive, social, motor, linguistic, and other developmental gains. Being pushed or carried from one place to another fundamentally differs from having active control over one’s exploration, which is where developmental improvements are shown.
Regarding mobility, it is essential to note that our homes can be the best playgrounds. As parents, our children’s safety is our utmost priority.
What if we tell you there’s a toy that allows your child to expand their imagination, conduct open-ended independent play, and inspire them to be physically and mentally active simultaneously—all in the space of your living room?
Seems unbelievable? It’s NOT.
