Colours and shapes for your little one
Colours and shapes for your little one
This room provides your mini with maximum stimulation!
Children are full of ideas. Give their imagination room to grow with colours and shapes. A circle here, a triangle there: turn an ordinary wall into a world of their own. Here is how to get started.
A young child is constantly discovering the world around them. They copy parents, investigate everything—from an ant to grandma's bag, to that incredibly expensive, handsome little vase you had so proudly placed on the table—and develop day in, day out. The world is their magic ball. And by exploring, a child learns! "Hey, this is a circle and it looks a lot like my ball. Oh, and if I stick this little triangle onto a square, it makes a little house." Children are always looking for new stimuli and lessons. And the connections children make through shapes help them better understand the world around them. So how fun is it to fill your child's room with all kinds of different shapes?

Showing your true colours for little ones
It’s not just shapes that stimulate the little, delicate brains of our youngsters. Colour also plays a major role in a child's development. In the very beginning, every child only sees black and white! But from 3 months on, their eyes are literally opened and they start recognising colours. Red and green are the first colours children see. Then come blue and yellow. Do you enjoy teaching your child to recognise colours? Then you could incorporate these onto the walls of the nursery! This allows you to ask your child questions and teach them things throughout the week. Or your child can point things out, and you can practice together. Fun, right?
