Features of wall painting in a children's institution
A kindergarten is a second home for a child, in which he should feel at home. The environment fully contributes to this. So, if the design of the group room is made taking into account all the recommendations of psychologists, and the interior contains elements that kids like, then they will go to kindergarten with joy and interest.
Some parents decide to decorate the walls of the room with their own hands. But not everyone knows what features such work implies. Some rules for the design of children's institutions will help to complete the painting efficiently and competently.
The main points that need to be taken into account when creating drawings on the wall in the nursery:
- If the play area and the group’s bedroom are located in the same room, it is necessary to resort to zoning, in which the purpose of each area will be clearly visible. In the play area, the designs should be brighter; yellow, blue, orange and green colors can be used. The sleeping area should be done in soft pastel colors: blue, green and pink, yellow-green.
- The colors of furniture, floors and walls in a kindergarten should complement each other. It is advisable to choose tones so that there is no sharp contrast. The ideal color for walls is green, which is uplifting and calming.
- The interior and drawings on the walls should resemble a fairy tale. Kids love fairy tales very much: it helps them fantasize and promotes the development of their imagination.
- If wallpaper is used to decorate the walls, it must be environmentally friendly, easy to wash and clean. In addition, some areas of the room can be decorated with decorative plaster with a faint texture.
- Olive, dark green and blue tones of varying intensity are not acceptable for decorating walls in children's rooms. It is also not recommended to use designs in white or black colors. Their appearance can lead to lethargy and depression. Kids do not like monotony, which quickly gets boring and causes boredom.
If the kindergarten does not have the opportunity to complete a full painting, the walls can be decorated with simple stars or flowers. Images should be located far enough from each other and be large in size.
Gazebos: canopies and trains
Staying in the fresh air is important for children's health, strengthening their immune system, and physical development. Daily walks involve active activity on the site. To protect from aggressive sun, rain, wind and drafts, the interior design of a kindergarten involves the use of gazebos. These can be houses with furniture inside, sheds, trains, cars, huts, fortresses and more.
There should be a sufficient number of trees, bushes and flowers on the territory of the kindergarten
It is better to place the gazebo in the shade
Safe materials are used for the gazebo:
- tree;
- polycarbonate;
- brick;
- plastic.

Inside you can install benches, chairs, and a cabinet for storing toys. After active games, kids can use an easel; preschoolers will need a magnetic board with numbers and letters and an abacus. The walls are decorated with bright drawings and stickers. The area on which the gazebo is located must be clearly visible so that the pupils are under control. It’s good if there is a tree growing nearby that provides shade.

How to paint walls
All painting work in a kindergarten can be carried out without calling a specialist. The main thing is to prepare the necessary tool and choose a drawing. To work you will need:
- brushes or roller, if the area to be treated is large;
- paint tray;
- ladder;
- masking tape, with which you can seal the joints of colors in the drawing;
- templates
Using templates it is convenient to apply small, frequently repeating patterns. If you look at photos of wall paintings in kindergartens, you can choose any design you like and use the template for its intended purpose.
Drawing with a stencil
Using stencils, images of butterflies, bows, hearts, flowers, leaves, etc. are often applied. The work algorithm is simple:
- First of all, the walls in the nursery are painted in the background color.
- Then the pattern of the future composition is applied with a pencil. It could be a clearing with daisies and ladybugs, a rainbow with butterflies, a tree with flowering branches and much more.
- The outline of a leaf, butterfly, etc. is cut out on a piece of thick cardboard or plastic.
- The stencil is applied to the desired location of the future painting, and an element is drawn through it with a brush or spray paint.
Height meter
If parents know how to draw, they can create more complex compositions.
For example, silhouettes of animals and birds, illustrations from children's books and cartoons. At all times, the most beloved and popular among children were such fairy-tale characters as Cheburashka, the crocodile Gena, Thumbelina, Little Red Riding Hood, Winnie the Pooh and Piglet. You can display scenes from cartoons about Luntik or Smeshariki. A stadiometer designed to resemble a tree or a giraffe’s neck will look very original.
Rules for choosing paint
To paint the walls in the nursery, you must use a dye specifically designed for this purpose.
When purchasing paint, you should check whether the product has a quality certificate stating that it is suitable for painting work in kindergartens and other institutions.
The best option for painting walls is water-based paint, which has a number of advantages:
- contains silver ions, due to which the walls in the children's institution are protected from the spread of bacteria and fungus;
- non-toxic and non-allergenic;
- has no unpleasant odor;
- dries quickly;
- is characterized by high wear resistance due to the content of acrylic resin or latex;
- is vapor permeable, allowing the walls to “breathe”.
Non-toxic, odorless paint
When choosing a paint to create the background of the walls in a children's room, it is necessary to take into account indicators such as elasticity, durability and ease of care. Children run and jump a lot, often touching walls and causing mechanical impact on the paint layer. Also, kids can draw on the walls, and the paint should not wash off when cleaning.
Learn through play
Through the game there is interaction with each other, learning new things, understanding the world around us, and socialization. Classes carry a special load. The tables are placed so that the light falls from the left.
Tables and chairs must be suitable for children in age and height so that their posture does not deteriorate
Frameless furniture does not have sharp corners, therefore it is considered the safest for children
Bright images are not appropriate in the classroom; here it is necessary to concentrate, assimilate information, and consolidate the results obtained. The walls are painted in soothing shades, the furniture is comfortable and durable. The necessary supplies are placed in the cabinets: pencils, albums, notebooks, colored paper, toys that help to establish contact with children. A magnetic board, handouts, and visual aids are placed against the wall. The study room gradually prepares you for being in the classroom. Its design is laconic, with game elements.

Original solutions for decorating walls in a group
The walls in the nursery can be decorated not only with drawings, but also with original applications. Here painting can be successfully combined with the use of other materials. As an example, here is a composition that will look good in the sleeping area of the room:
- on the wall you should draw stylized roofs of multi-story buildings, antennas and pipes located on them;
- the sky above the roofs is decorated with bright stars;
- On one of the roofs you can place figures of two cats, which are cut out of velvet cardboard or other material pleasant to the touch.
The teacher can tell the kids that cats sit on the wall to sing lullabies to them. Each child will be able to pet the animal and talk to it. Psychologists believe that such applications have a good hypnotic effect, and instead of indulging, the baby will sleep soundly during quiet time.
A similar applique can be made in the form of a large cat snoozing on a fluffy cloud painted on the wall.
