Čas beži in ker bo tudi pri nas treba enkrat v šolo, sem začela razmišljati, kako bi na novo preuredila otroško sobico. Ja, spet! Odločila sem se, da kakšna črka ali številka puncam preden prestopijo šolski prag v sobici zagotovo ne bi škodila. Mar ne drži, da imajo otroci, ki jih starši že zgodaj spodbujajo k učenju črk in besed, kasneje bogatejši besedni zaklad in so navdušeni bralci?
I got an idea about this the other day when I saw the beautifully illustrated alphabet at the Little Otja family concept store.
I was immediately convinced, although I must admit this wasn't a love at first sight. I've seen this poster in their online shop before but at that time I just wasn't into it. Maybe it's because of the fact that it really comes to life only after you see it the real size and in your home and that the small screens of our mobile phones really don't give this poster the right credit.
The Alphabet poster is designed in calm tones, so it doesn't take too much attention, but it's still playful. It's exactly what I was looking for my girls' room.
The number of different words we use with toddlers encourages their vocabulary to expand. The easiest way to learn new words is through a play, therefore on this Alphabet poster you will find many less familiar words. Repeat them with your toddler and talk about their meanings.
Trying to find the best color for a child's room can be a big challenge. The little one should feel good in his room, but the appearance and size of the room must be also taken into account when decorating. Our Alphabet poster is therefore available in various colors that you can easily coordinate it with the rest of your home.
The frame makes the poster even better, so choosing the right frame is really important. Choose white picture frames and frames in natural wood colors. They have proven to be versatile enough to work in every room and fit to different styles of furniture in your home.
Freshening up your toddler's learning corner with an educational artprint is a quick and effective change that doesn't cost much. A pretty learning corner at home is a great way to help your children exercise their minds and a way to encourage creativity.
The background of the poster comes in three variants: light gray, soft pink or green. And I believe that the right choice can blend in beautifully with the furniture and decoration of any child's room. The alphabet goes really well also with the 123 poster, which was also created with the above-mentioned illustrator.
I decided for a light gray background in the biggest format available (50x70 cm) and I am so happy with my choice. Instead of the usual frame, I decided to try out the oak picture hanger with magnets. They're available also in white and black. I'm really satisfied because it seems that I managed to create such a pleasant, but at the same time slightly school-like atmosphere in one corner of the room, which in addition reminds to my first grade classroom. This made me a little nostalgic and I thought about how we spend time with our children and how it goes by too quickly.
There's one important thing I'd like to point out at the end. When buying artwork for your home you should remember that bigger is definitely better and this poster definitely stands out in a larger size. Bigger illustrations will also be noticed by your little one more easily.
