Red House

With its child scale size (roof height 146 cm) the red house is a play motivator for the youngest. The open ends and walls widen the play space, making room for a lot of children playing from the outside also. The desks and manipulative elements are reachable from the outside, too, providing play all around. The rounded desk and the porch seat invite meeting and exchanging, making this house a haven for social play. The red house stimulates dramatic play. It invites and retains children's role play with manipulative elements that can be shifted and turned. These elements stimulate the understanding of cause and effect and the child's cognitive development. They give the children something to talk about and include in dramatic play. This affects their communi-cation and language developments turn taking. And it builds up social skills.
