For children from 4 years old it is better to choose tables that vary in height. Plastic tables are decorated with educational tools - geometric figures, seasons, animals, etc. For a 5-year-old child, educational games are very interesting and exciting. And for 6 years already the preparation for school is preferable. Here you can already see the alphabet, the numbers from 1 to 10, the clock and so on.

It is better to choose a table “for growth” so that it is not small for a child of 8 years.

It is important to take into account the peculiarities of the interior of the child’s room so that the table fits into the color range, but at the same time, has a neutral color that does not distract from the lessons.

Above the table you can hang multi-colored shelves - it will revive the corner. Even instead, you can leave the wall empty for posters or drawings.

Tips

The size of the table depends on the parameters of the child. It's not just about comfort and convenience. Proper seating of the child at the table is very important, because depending on this, the correct posture will be formed.

Measurements:

  1. From heel to knee. This will be the height of the chair.
  2. Seat the child to the correct height and measure the distance from the floor to the elbow. This will be the height of the tabletop.

  1. The length of the table top (should be about 1 meter);
  2. The width of the working surface (about 60-80 cm);
