Preparing Kids for the Future

Parents would love for their kids to keep order and household skills to learn to take care of themselves as they get older. Having storage and play furniture that lends themselves to this learning process is great.

There are beautiful pieces of furniture such as hampers to get kids to put their laundry in the right place and storage boxes that look like washers and dryers to get kids to think along the lines of helping around the house.

Learning with Decorative Furniture

I love the colorful 'Painted Ladies' victorian homes. Since I can't have one, I like to focus on beautiful, colorful and decorative furniture.

Kids also enjoy their rooms more when they have beautiful kids furniture and play furniture, especially colorful ones.

Having colorful and decorative play furniture helps children develop their creativity and innovation.

I remember when I was very young, I would organize my art supplies by color and shape. Parents can teach children the colors and shapes by focusing on the beautiful samples on the furniture and toys. It is a great way to facilitate early education.

Thomas Trains as Educational Entertainment

When my son was 3 years old, he started playing with the Thomas train set. It was more than just fun. It was educational.

He learned new definitions such as ascending and descending tracks. He tried all kinds of layouts and designed cities with imagination. He loved to go on subway and bus rides, analyze the routes, and then go home to mimic those routes with his Thomas tracks. He learned to read maps, and more.

And he loved the Thomas videos that offered not only enjoyment, but excellent language, interesting stories. The characters seemed real since he played with them and developed his own stories with the tracks and trains.

And when he finished playing for the day, together we would organize all the pieces in their right place, by shape, size and type. This is the start of beneficial organizational training.
