Abstract

The article deals with the problem of designing furniture in kindergarten. The article proposes an idea of furniture-game to be used as an educational tool. Learning in children from 3 to 6 years takes place through play, and involves the dynamism of the motor sphere and the exploration and trasfiguration of the cognitive sphere. These activities, presented in all five fields of experience, catalogued in the text of the National Guidelines for the school of the Infancy and the first cycle (September 2012), can also be carried out by the child through a special relationship with furnishing in its learning space. The article tries to outline a dialectic between the current pedagogical indications and the most suitable design methodologies to create spaces and furnishings capable of supporting these indications every day.
