On this page a host of ideas for children’s décor exist using the alphabet as the central theme. Before children even read they gather visual information from their environment.
The first step in reading print does not begin with text but with pictures. So children exposed to art and parents who ask questions and discuss art develop a good foundation for future learning.
Why Letter Wall Art?
Children grow rapidly and their needs change, especially while they are under the age of five years. As their needs change, letter wall art can easily become exchanged for more age appropriate pieces. Children past the age of five begin to have preferences in color or themes. Letter wall art can easily be packed when moving into a new home. Here are some ideas for children’s décor using the alphabet as the central theme.
Visual Elements
Visual elements, as with Letter wall hangings, will center around visuals seen in children’s picture books. Animals, other children, the child’s name, and common childhood pictures such as school, vehicles, and home. Design elements in the background range from pastels to cool colors which promote relaxation. Children learn so much more when relaxed and casually absorb information, especially from a parent.
Some letter wall hangings have texture. If the pieces are sturdy, place them at a level where the child will be able to reach them so as to be able to touch them and experience that texture with the hands. Feeling the texture of art allows children to develop spatial centers in the brain as well as sensory experiences. Parents can use this opportunity to teach new words relating to the experience to increase the child’s vocabulary.
Language Development
Decorating a room with letter wall hangings can become delightfully playful and fun learning experience between parent and child. Using one letter at a time, parents can see how many words their child can say beginning with that letter. They can then move on to rhyming words. Making silly sentences adding in the colors of the art, starts sentence structure schema in the brain for writing. Best of all, creating stories together about the visuals in the art makes good memories for both child and parent and this strengthens the bond between them.
