Play and research activities are the leading types of children's activities. Through study appearance and the properties of objects, ideas about the physical side of the surrounding reality are formed. Games build social competencies and develop communication skills. Creative abilities are manifested in object and play activities. To form a well-rounded personality, it is necessary to create a rich and subject-spatial environment around the child.

The goals of creating and operating corners in kindergarten: the role and significance of corners, main tasks for all age groups

The Federal State Educational Standard (FSES) defines as a target for each developmental area (cognitive, physical, social-communicative, speech, artistic and aesthetic) the encouragement of initiative in children's activities (mental or practical), stimulation of independence in the choice of methods of activity and their implementation. Children actively explore the world and rapidly accumulate sensory images. The study of objects and connections between them in the immediate environment occurs through perception by various senses (vision, hearing, taste and tactile sensations).

Children study objects in their immediate environment in various ways, exploring their qualities and properties.

From the first years of life, a child spontaneously explores material objects: checking for taste, fragility, softness, temperature, sonority. During the period of preschool education, conducting classes in a playful way makes it possible to study various tools and objects, and the relationships between them. For effective mental, physical and moral development, the child must be in comfortable conditions. The organization of the subject-spatial environment by the teacher begins with the design of the reception and group premises in such a way that the pupils feel comfortable, because here they spend a lot of time; it is not without reason that they say that kindergarten is the second home of children.

IN kindergarten The child should be comfortable and calm, just like at home

The creation of corners of various directions in kindergarten implements the principle of educating a comprehensively developed personality. Here children acquire initial ideas about the physical properties of objects, get acquainted with art and create crafts, play musical instruments and sing, engage in speech exercises, look at books and listen to the teacher read, and comprehend the meaning of moral values. Thanks to the variety of thematic corners, the principle of frequent change of activities is fulfilled: preschoolers quickly get tired, lose interest in one subject and easily switch to another. An individual-personal approach to learning is carried out by providing children with a choice in which activity center they will engage in at a particular moment (the possibility of independent activity in productive creativity, play, etc.). Thus, the purpose of organizing corners in kindergarten is to create conditions for the successful development of pupils’ abilities.

Organizing children's activities in corners implements the principle comprehensive development children taking into account a personal approach

Tasks of thematic corners in kindergarten

Activities in corners contribute to the formation of moral values ​​in preschoolers

The design of corners is carried out taking into account age characteristics pupils. In classes with children 1.5–3 years old, special attention is paid to the development of fine motor skills and coordination of movements, so sand and water centers, research, play and physical education corners will be relevant. By older preschool age, children acquire the ability to play role-playing games, participate in heuristic conversations, and show creative abilities - the subject-spatial environment is enriched with play sets and costumes to develop social competencies (“Polyclinic”, “In the store”, “Newsstand”, “On the Road”, etc.), attributes for theatrical games and performances.

The material base of the corners is replenished in accordance with the interests and age of children

By the age of 5 years, children begin to understand the differences between girls and boys, their games take on different directions: girls play with dolls, “Mothers and Daughters”, “Beauty Salon”, boys like to play with cars, soldiers, pretend to be superheroes, etc. Therefore, for pupils of the senior and preparatory groups, the play area can work in the form of two corners - for girls and for boys.

For older preschoolers, corners can be divided according to the interests of boys and girls

IN preparatory group Pupils work on creating projects: they spend a lot of time in research, experimental, and creative corners. Zones of independent activity are replenished with task files and visual algorithms for performing practical research. The knowledge corner can be designed and equipped in accordance with the theme of the group project (space, environmental, technical).

Children aged 6–7 years are actively forming an understanding of the composition of numbers and practicing simple calculations

    Working in a corner of a kindergarten

    In a corner of the kindergarten, the teacher can conduct an ECD lesson on studying the world around us, on the formation of elementary mathematical concepts (FEMP), speech and integrated lessons. It should be remembered that the structure of a lesson with preschoolers implements the principle of frequent change of activities, thus, during a lesson with a research focus, for example, students will complete tasks in an experimental laboratory, do thematic exercises in a physical education corner, listen to and discuss a poem in a mini-library and play in the center of water and sand.

    The corners are used by the teacher as platforms for organizing thematic leisure activities and festive events within the group. Leisure time dedicated to the work of Agnia Barto is held in the book and game corners, a literary and song evening in the music zone, a quiz for Cosmonautics Day in the research center, a leisure conversation about the celebration of Victory Day in the patriotic education corner, etc. .

    In addition, children’s independent activity is carried out in the corners at various scheduled moments: during the morning reception of children in kindergarten, during breaks between classes, after a walk, after a quiet hour in the afternoon.

    Main activities in the corners:

    • games: didactic, active, subject-based, role-playing;
    • practical research: experiments, experiments, modeling;
    • productive creativity: drawing, incl. non-traditional techniques, modeling and design from various materials;
    • musical creativity: playing instruments, choral singing;
    • theatrical activities: performances of fairy tales and fragments of literary works;
    • communicative activities: dramatization games, participation in conversations;
    • self-service and work activity: carrying out assignments, duty duties.

    A well-organized subject-spatial environment creates positive motivation for pupils to attend kindergarten: they feel comfortable in the group room, they choose activity areas according to their capabilities and interests. Classes in the corners allow you to successfully implement educational tasks: they contribute to the development of thinking and practical abilities, activate imagination and independence. By playing and studying in thematic centers, children accumulate information, communication, and sensory experience.

Organization of subject-developmental environment in the second younger group .

There is no side of upbringing that

the situation would have no influence,

there is no ability that is not found

in direct dependence on directly

the concrete world surrounding the child...

The one who manages to create such an environment,

will make your work easier.

Among her child will live and develop

own self-sufficient life,

his spiritual growth will improve

from oneself, from nature...

E. I. Tikheyeva

One of the important conditions for educational work in preschool institution– correct organization of subject-developing subject environment. The right way will allow each child to find something they like, to believe in their strengths and abilities, to learn to interact with teachers and peers, to understand and evaluate their feelings and actions, and this is precisely what lies at the heart of developmental education.

Developmental subject environment is the main means formation of the child’s personality and is the source of his knowledge and social experience.

Wednesday environment surrounding children in kindergarten should ensure the safety of their lives, promote health and hardening the body of each of them.

Organization of subject-development environment in kindergarten carries the effectiveness of educational influence aimed at developing in children an active cognitive attitude towards the world around them items, people, nature. It should be formed taking into account certain principles, developed in the works of leading teachers, in particular, taking into account the age of children, since each age group has its own specific psychological and pedagogical characteristics.

At the organization of the developmental environment in the younger group must be taken into account that children of this age react poorly to spatial changes in the environment and prefer in this sense, stability (M.N. Polyakova, therefore you should not often rearrange the equipment in group. It is important to remember that in younger the child’s sensory abilities are formed at age, therefore subject-development environment should create conditions for the development of analyzers.

Creating subject-development environment in the second junior group, we relied on the principle of activity, stability, flexible zoning. IN group conditions have been created for children to interact with the teacher and with each other. There are also corners of solitude, which gives the child a sense of psychological security and helps personal development. We are trying to enrich environment with such elements, which would stimulate the cognitive, developmental, motor and other activities of children.

Right organized development environment allows every child to find something they like, believe in their strengths and abilities, learn to interact with teachers and peers, understand and evaluate their feelings and actions, and this is precisely what lies at the heart of developmental education.

Subject development environment of the group is as close as possible to the interests and needs of each preschooler. We tried to ensure that the child had the opportunity to do what he loved in the mini corner of his choice.

IN group everything is accessible to every child, is age appropriate and takes into account their individual characteristics and developmental capabilities. Conditions have been created for the accumulation of creative experience, the application of one’s knowledge and skills, in situations of action with familiar or completely unfamiliar objects.

Considering that play is a leading activity for a preschool child, we tried to select attributes that would allow us to build game plots and imitate the world that the child is learning. Gaming Wednesday changes with changes in pedagogical tasks, with changes in the role of the game itself.


Our bedroom:

A child's sleep is largely influenced by the design of the bedroom. We have created a cozy bedroom for children.

Corner "Seclusion" is in our bedroom.

here we we offer look at a photo album of children's and family photos in silence. We turn on music or listen to fairy tales, also here children can play with dolls or board games, see your favorite books.

You walk into the bedroom where the children are sleeping and hear quiet snoring.

Quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly,

Tikhon enters our doors,

Don't yell, don't scream,

And cradle and rock.

Tikhon sings a song,

Gives out dreams to the kids:

“In this dream there is a balloon,

In this dream there is a dog Sharik,

In this - doves fly,

Children want to sleep in this.”

Quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly,

Dusk, slumber and peace.

Kids are sleeping. Tikhon leaves

To a quiet house across the river.


In our the group has created a wonderful subject-spatial developmental Wednesday, which serves the interests and needs of each child. Special attention We focus on creating conditions for easy adaptation of children in order to reduce the level of anxiety of each child.

Subject-spatial environment of the group creates a comfortable mood and promotes the emotional well-being of children.

Children are very sensitive to their surroundings, so the whole environment groups has great educational value.

Construction of a subject-development environment

in the second junior group

"Golden Key"

With the entry into force of the Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education, for the first time, the very important task of “protecting and strengthening the physical and mental health of children, including their emotional well-being” is outlined at the legislative level. We believe that the psychological comfort and emotional well-being of the child largely depends on how well the developmental environment in the kindergarten group is organized. One of the basic principles of creating an environment in which a child should be is the principle of its aesthetic design. In OUR group, the premises are a bright, airy space with a small number of design details, made in the same style and gently complementing the homely atmosphere. All this is primarily related to the need to protect and strengthen the child’s psyche.

When creating a subject-development environment in the second junior group, we relied on the principle of activity, stability, and flexible zoning. The group has created conditions for children to interact with the teacher and with each other. The content of the subject-development environment corresponds to the interests of boys and girls, periodically changes, varies, and is constantly enriched.

In our group, the subject-development environment is divided into micro-centers for children’s independent activities:

Center for role-playing games. Located in groups on carpets, it occupies most of the group rooms. Available necessary equipment for playing “Family” - furniture, dishes, dolls, doll clothes, Houseware. For the role-playing games “Hospital”, “Shop”, “Barbershop”, thematic collections of toys and the necessary attributes were selected. Some of the game attributes are located on mobile shelves that have several purposes. Attributes of the game “Hospital” are used for the game “Pharmacy”, attributes of the game “Shop” are used for the game “Cafe”, etc.

Physical Culture Center. In our group, physical education equipment is selected taking into account program objectives and age-related developmental characteristics of children. I try to take into account that the manuals and equipment were multivariate, easily transformed, and took up little space. I try to use a wide variety of outdoor equipment and sports equipment (balls of different sizes, jump ropes, hoops).

Fine Arts Center. Here are materials for introducing children to various types of fine and decorative arts. Materials and equipment needed for the nursery visual arts, manual labor and artistic design, taking into account the interests of both girls and boys. A small “beauty shelf” is hung on the wall at the child’s eye level. Underneath there is a table with chairs - a place to meet with beauty.

Music Center. These are shelves for storing musical aids, a place for playing music and educational board games. The main content of the center consists of musical aids, musical toys, homemade toys, children's musical instruments, costume elements, and audio equipment.

Theater Center. The necessary equipment for theatrical activities and games is collected here: children's costumes, bibabo dolls, finger puppets, toys and decorations for tabletop theatre, flannel theatre, etc.

Sensory Development Center. This center is largely intended for children - it contains manuals, games, books, materials that allow children to develop their ideas about various colors and shades, shapes, sizes of objects, roughness - the smoothness of their surface, sounds - their height, volume, etc. There are materials for developing fine motor skills.

Book Center. It contains small libraries: books for reading to children and independent reading for reading children, illustrations for works, thematic albums, speech material, speech games, magazines. It houses albums with family photographs of the group's children, temporary thematic photo exhibitions that promote the development of various aesthetic ideas of children, as well as children's drawings and illustrations, creative works of various genres.

Nature Center. The environment is unthinkable without natural content, which is the most important means of environmental, aesthetic, moral, mental education and spiritual development children. The groups contain plants, birds, fish, and a turtle. On the territory of the preschool educational institution there is a vegetable garden and flower beds. Equipped with areas for elementary experimental activities, a water and sand center.

Study corner. Includes magnetic and chalk boards, typesetting canvases, a variety of visual, handout, counting materials, and didactic games. All material is selected taking into account the age of the children, for independent use, playing with the material covered. Also in the groups there is unformed material: corks, boxes, jars, which allows children to fantasize and replace real objects with these materials.

Our group:

A properly organized developmental environment allows every child to find something they like, to believe in their strengths and abilities, to learn to interact with teachers and peers, to understand and evaluate their feelings and actions, and this is precisely what lies at the heart of developmental education.

The subject-developmental environment of the group is as close as possible to the interests and needs of each preschooler. We tried to ensure that the child had the opportunity to do what he loved in the mini corner of his choice.

Everything in the group is accessible to every child, is age appropriate and takes into account their individual characteristics and developmental capabilities. Conditions have been created for the accumulation of creative experience, the application of one’s knowledge and skills, in situations of action with familiar or completely unfamiliar objects.

Considering that play is a leading activity for a preschool child, we tried to select attributes that would allow us to build game plots and imitate the world that the child is learning. The gaming environment changes with a change in pedagogical tasks, with a change in the role of the game itself.

Our bedroom:

A child's sleep is largely influenced by the design of the bedroom. We have created a cozy bedroom for children.

Here we suggest viewing a photo album of children's and family photographs in silence. We turn on music or listen to fairy tales, and here children can play with dolls or board games, and look at their favorite books.

Our group has created an excellent subject-spatial developmental environment that serves the interests and needs of each child. We pay special attention to creating conditions for easy adaptation of children in order to reduce the level of anxiety of each child.

The subject-spatial environment of the group creates a comfortable mood and promotes the emotional well-being of children.

Children are very susceptible to their surroundings, so the entire group environment is of great educational importance.

Modern child must develop in a modern environment, and we hope that the Federal State Educational Standard that has entered into force will be supported financially. And the interior of the group will maximize the emotional well-being of children.

The teaching staff of the preschool educational institution is not going to stop there, the search for innovative approaches to a developing subject-spatial environment continues, and the creativity, skill and great desire of teachers will help us.

One of the most important conditions for the successful upbringing and education of children is the developmental environment (subject-spatial) in the group and in the kindergarten area. In order to find out what the subject-spatial environment should be like in the 2nd junior group, what toys, teaching material, zones (corners) you need, you can refer to the following documents:

  1. SanPiN 2.1.3.2630-10, where you will find sanitary requirements for the placement of equipment.
  2. Federal State Educational Standards for Preschool Education, requirements for protecting the lives of pupils, principles of constructing the PRS, comprehensive equipment of the educational process, accounting for health and safety.
  3. The program your preschool operates under.

Subject-spatial environment in the 2nd junior group, taking into account the Federal State Educational Standard

Board game “Patch the Mat”

The “Patch the Rug” game is very easy to make. Glue white onto sheets of colored paper geometric figures and pass it through a laminator (once upon a time we simply covered the cardboard with tape), use a hole punch to make holes and make a fringe, and separately cut out geometric shapes of the same color.


Children enjoy patching rugs.
Carpet - irreplaceable thing for the second younger group. In addition to the theater, you can place any benefit on it. In our case, these are geometric shapes and multi-colored droplets (you can work individually).

And here is a modern version of the game “Collect a flower”. If you take the flower apart, you can assemble a caterpillar, tumbler, etc. from knitted circles.

Touch panel “Underwater world”

We also equipped the “Underwater World” panel in the sensory zone, using which you can develop fine motor skills in different ways. The panel is attached to the back wall of the shelf, which separates the study area from the play area. For the background we used a regular shower curtain with a marine pattern, but you could find oilcloth, self-adhesive film, or just paint it and varnish it.

For creating underwater world We used different materials: we made fish from sandpaper, dish sponges, knitted fish and starfish with beads look great. The seaweed is made from pieces of felt, to which ribbons are sewn for tying, and the pebbles are made from simple cotton pads. Lots of tactile sensations, right?

An interesting underwater inhabitant is the octopus. To make it you only need different ribbons and cardboard. Try making a great tutorial for kids.


In the math corner, kids are greeted with a cube, a cone and a cylinder. By the way, there should also be manuals like “Many, one, none”, handouts, various nesting dolls, insert cubes, etc.

In the active speech zone you will find breathing exercises, cards on lexical topics, a mini-library and games that expand children's horizons, for example, “Who eats what?”


The natural area has everything you need to experiment, care for plants and observe nature.

The model “Grandma’s Compound” allows you to expand children’s knowledge about the characteristics and benefits of pets

Our kindergarten uses a multicultural education program in its work, according to which in the 2nd junior group we introduce children to folk toys. Therefore, we put together a mini museum of wooden toys and designed it like this:


I hope you already have an idea! Great!

Organization of subject-developmental environment in the junior group

Author: Olga Vladimirovna Bobkova, Teacher of MBDOU kindergarten No. 4 “Fairy Tale”.
Description: my methodological development will be useful for educators kindergartens, in In my work, I described in detail how to design the environment of the junior group so that it complies with the Federal State Educational Standard, develops children and reveals their individuality.

There is no side of upbringing that
the situation would have no influence,
there is no ability that is not found
in direct dependence on directly
the concrete world surrounding the child...
The one who manages to create such an environment,
will make your work easier.
The child will live and develop among her
own self-sufficient life,
his spiritual growth will improve
from oneself, from nature...
E. I. Tikheyeva

One of the important conditions of educational work in a preschool institution is proper organization subject-developing subject environment. A properly organized developmental environment will allow each child to find something they like, to believe in their strengths and abilities, to learn to interact with teachers and peers, to understand and evaluate their feelings and actions, and this is precisely what lies at the heart of developmental education.
The developing subject environment is the main means of shaping the child’s personality and is the source of his knowledge and social experience.
The environment surrounding children in kindergarten should ensure the safety of their lives, promote health and strengthen the body of each of them.
The organization of a subject-developmental environment in a kindergarten carries the effectiveness of educational influence aimed at developing in children an active cognitive attitude towards the surrounding world of objects, people, and nature. It should be formed taking into account certain principles developed in the works of leading teachers, in particular, taking into account the age of children, since each age group has its own specific psychological and pedagogical characteristics.
When creating a subject-development environment in the second junior group, we relied on the principle of activity, stability, and flexible zoning. The group has created conditions for children to interact with the teacher and with each other. There is also a corner of solitude, which gives the child a sense of psychological security and helps personal development. We try to enrich the environment with elements that would stimulate the cognitive, developmental, motor and other activities of children.
The content of the subject-development environment corresponds to the interests of boys and girls, periodically changes, varies, and is constantly enriched.
Functions of the subject-related environment in the junior group:
Cognitive – satisfies the child’s need to master the world around him, stimulates cognitive activity;
Communicative – stimulates speech development, allows the child to learn the basics of communication and interaction;
Wellness – stimulates motor activity, enriches motor experience, introduces to the culture of health;
Creative – introduces children to creative activities, promotes self-development and self-realization.
In our group, the subject-development environment is divided into micro-centers for children’s independent activities:
Center for role-playing games.
Objectives: to promote the emergence of the game; develop the ability to choose a role and perform several interrelated actions in the game; formation of communication skills in the game; development of imitation and creative abilities. Learn to use building materials in games.

In the group’s book showcase, I usually display 4-5 books, usually already familiar to children, with bright, large illustrations. The length of time a book stays in a corner is determined by the children’s interest in this book. On average, her stay there is 2-2.5 weeks. In the corner, I give children the first lessons in independent communication with a book: I introduce them to the corner of the book, its structure and purpose, teach them to look at books only there (take books with clean hands, leaf through carefully, do not tear, do not wrinkle, do not use for games; after I looked, always put the book in its place). My kids love it when we read books and look at pictures with them, so here we have a lot of bright, colorful and interesting literature on the program.
