In order for a child to be able to navigate in space, he must first be taught to navigate in the house where he lives. Young children have different ideas about the world around them than adults. They see everything big and blurry, so the best way to tell them about the place where they live is to use house pictures for children.
Each illustration must include a piece of furniture that is unique to that room. Additionally, you can tell your baby about the name of each room and what is customary to do in it. Such simple activities will help your child expand the boundaries of his small world and learn many new words.
How to draw a house?
Drawing a house and its individual parts is quite simple. It is enough to be able to depict simple geometric shapes (square, rectangle, triangle), from which the drawn houses are composed.
Before teaching children to draw a house, show them ready-made pictures. These could be illustrations for the fairy tale “The Cat’s House” (S. Marshak), where a beautiful house with carved shutters and decorations is usually presented. You can consider a house in the village or in the forest. Quite often in fairy tales, houses in the forest are depicted on chicken legs, and Baba Yaga or other fairy-tale characters live in them. The houses in the village are usually very neat, painted, with a chimney through which the smoke from the stove comes out. Pictures and pencil coloring will help the children imagine what kind of house they would like to draw.
To draw a simple house, you need to draw a square or rectangle, and above it draw a triangle, which will act as a roof. In the house we draw a window, and on the roof - a pipe in the form of a rectangle. Smoke comes out of it in rings, which will also not be difficult to depict. Here are the painted houses and they are ready. Of course, if you want your home to turn out noble, you will have to try.
They are in every home
Most homes have four main rooms: kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedroom. All other rooms usually simply duplicate them. Here are pictures for children depicting these main rooms:
Kitchen-dining room
Living room or hall
Bedroom
Bathroom
Instead of drawn pictures, you can use suitable photographs in a style that resembles the interior of your apartment or house. For example, like this:
Kitchen-dining room
Living room-hall
Bedroom
Bathroom
This is roughly how you can help your little one remember the names of the rooms.

How are such visual aids useful?
Pictures and coloring pages as examples and training exercises for developing motor skills will be very useful for kids. They can teach new ideas on how to draw houses, and coloring will help train your hand.
Many parents have the opinion that if the child is shown the finished result (drawing, coloring, etc.) in advance, then his imagination will not develop. In vain. High-quality examples can develop good taste in a child, because he must see how to do things well and beautifully. So carved houses with decorations in the pictures will only be beneficial.
Pictures and coloring books are suitable for a children's aesthetic center, primary school, kindergarten, where children enthusiastically learn to draw.
Volumetric structures
Children always enjoy looking at pictures. But if the baby is no longer quite small, you can invite him to make a model of a house with rooms together with you and furnish it with everything necessary. There are many master classes on this topic for children on the Internet.
Small toy people and animals can live in such a house, and the creation process will captivate even the most restless little one. Who knows, maybe such an unusual experience will even prompt him to choose the profession of an engineer in the future and he will build a real house.
Remember, everything you do with your children affects them in one way or another, which is why it is so important to devote plenty of time to activities.
