Of great importance in solving the problems of each of the areas is the children's corner, in which didactic materials, manuals, fiction and methodological literature are located, and for older children it is recommended to design a children's school corner.
Selecting a location and main requirements
Corners in kindergarten are usually located according to thematic zones: physical education, book, creative, patriotic, and so on. In each age group, the appropriate arrangement of furniture and wall materials for each zone is thought out in accordance with the age of the children. The design of corners in kindergarten in each group must meet a number of general requirements. First of all, this is safety .
Our safety
This requirement implies that furniture, stands and visual aids located in the safety zone must be made of high-quality, environmentally friendly materials. Also, the safety of the design of this area includes: the stability of the furniture, well-fixed shelves and racks, the absence of sharp corners and chips.
The second requirement is accessibility. This area should be located in a place free for children to access, be clearly visible, and correspond to the height of the children. Safety zone materials must take into account the gender, age and individual capabilities of children.
The third requirement is aesthetic design. It is ensured through the beautiful design of stands, shelves, and the demonstration and teaching materials themselves. There should be no torn books or broken toys in this area. It is better to choose bright, saturated colors for decoration, but at the same time compatible with each other.
Another requirement is flexibility. It assumes the possibility of periodically updating materials in the security zone, introducing new details, interesting books, toys, and visual aids into its design.
A separate information stand “Safety Corner in Kindergarten” is set up in the preschool institution. Most often, it is located in the lobby so that parents of students can get acquainted with up-to-date and competent information at any time. Materials for the stand are developed jointly with employees of the State Traffic Inspectorate.
Filling the corner in the middle group
The design of patriotic corners in a preschool educational institution should assume that middle-aged children already have some moral habits and skills, experience of moral and patriotic values, the teacher’s task is to choose from the entire mass of knowledge the most understandable and accessible: family, kindergarten, beautiful places, favorite street.
It is very important that all the materials presented in the corner are bright, colorful and attractive; the composition should change periodically to attract the attention of the kids and make them want to learn more.
Purposes of creation and main patriotic attributes
Fostering patriotic feelings is one of the areas of work of preschool educational institutions with the younger generation - especially relevant in modern conditions, when numerous changes are taking place in the life of society. For the successful implementation of the system of patriotic education of children in a preschool institution, the development of their cognitive interest and activity, it is necessary to create a competent subject-development environment.
Basic Attributes
A patriotic corner in kindergarten helps teachers introduce children to: the history and sights of their native land, animals and plants, transport; with state symbols of the native country and city (flag, coat of arms, anthem, portraits of the president and head of the city); with Russian folk crafts and traditions of other peoples. Thanks to the materials in such a zone, children develop interest and respect for their family and their preschool institution, the work of people of different professions, and the achievements of famous people of the city and country.
Proper design of a patriotic corner in a kindergarten will allow each child to be involved in the study, help to select material based on strengths and interests, and also establish joint work with the teacher and peers. The materials in the corner should reflect the main directions of pedagogical work on the education of patriotism: “Family”, “Native land”, “Folk crafts”, “Acquaintance with the work of adults”, “Cultivating love and respect for the defenders of the Fatherland”, “Moscow is the capital of our Motherland” "
Main attributes
Mandatory attributes for a patriotic corner are: the anthem, the Russian flag, a portrait of the president and the coat of arms of Russia. The anthem is a solemn musical and poetic work, a symbol of our state. Usually it is issued in text form and is located on the stand. However, there must be a musical version in the corner for children to listen to. The flag of the Russian Federation is a rectangular canvas of three colors: white, blue, red (from top to bottom). White color means peace, purity; blue is a symbol of faith and constancy; red – energy, strength and blood shed for the Motherland. In the corner, the flag can be presented in different versions, as a large canvas on the wall or standing on a pole, or as a small flag on a special stand.
The coat of arms of Russia is another state symbol, a quadrangular shield with the image of a golden crowned double-headed eagle with an orb and a scepter in its paws. On the chest of an eagle in a red shield there are images of St. George the Victorious slaying a serpent. The portrait of the country's president is also placed on a stand with state symbols, mainly in the center or on the left.

The importance of patriotic education
The fate of Russia directly depends on what qualities will be developed in children, who determine the future of our country. What this future will be like depends to a large extent on us and on the concepts that will be embedded in the minds of children.
The first years of a child’s life are the most important stage in the upbringing and development of a future citizen and person. At this age, those feelings and character traits of a child are formed that, from birth, connect him with his family, people, country and determine his future path in life.
Options for a children's patriotic corner in kindergarten
Options for corners
The arrangement of objects and the organization of the patriotic corner can have several options depending on the age of the students. Patriotic corners in kindergarten for younger groups can be represented mainly by materials on getting to know the immediate environment. These are, first of all: folders, didactic games, illustrations on the topics “Adults”, “Family”, “The House You Live In”, “Child and His Peers”, “Emotions”, “Rules of Conduct in Public Places”. Also in the corner there are: models and photographs of a group, a preschool institution, a street; antiques, Russian folk toys, fiction for children.
material about family holidays and traditions is added to the territory of the middle group . In addition to the layout of the street and preschool educational institution, albums, postcards with the sights of the native city/village, famous citizens, representatives of the animal and plant world, transport, and architecture are added. In the middle group, elements of state and municipal symbols (flag and coat of arms), as well as folders with illustrations on the theme “Defenders of the Fatherland,” appear in the design of the corner. It would be advisable to set up a “Traffic Regulations Corner in Kindergarten” next to materials about the transport of your native land. This will allow us to approach solving educational problems in a comprehensive manner.
In older groups, corners can be represented by family photo albums, homemade books on the topics “Coat of Arms of My Family”, “Family Tree”. Thematic folders with illustrations about the history of the native land, industry, attractions, culture and education, and so on. In the corner there are all the symbols of the state and native land (anthem, flag, coat of arms, portraits of the president of the country, mayor of the city); maps of the Russian Federation and the region, adapted for children. Material about Orthodoxy is introduced.
It is also advisable to place a traffic rules corner in a kindergarten for older preschoolers close to the patriotic corner. It includes children's drawings on road safety, individual illustrations or photographs with types of traffic lights and crossings, and traffic signs. This may include photographs from the streets of your hometown.
Thus, when designing a patriotic corner in a preschool group, the main thing is to take into account the age-related capabilities of children and the tasks that must be solved at this age. We should also not forget about the mandatory safety, accessibility and aesthetics of materials.
