Requirements for colors

When choosing flowers for kindergarten, it is important to be careful and focus on children's age. In view of this, the main characteristics of plants are:

  • Flowers for kindergarten must be harmless!
    Unpretentiousness - they should not be too capricious and demanding, so that both the staff and the children themselves can care for them. It is important that the flower can recover quickly, because kids can accidentally damage it;
  • Safety - all plants in the garden must be non-poisonous and absolutely safe: without thorns, thorns, or berries. After all, children want to touch and try everything. Since some babies are prone to allergies, flowers should not emit a strong aroma or collect a lot of dust on their leaves;
  • Air purification - it is better to give preference to those types that benefit health, namely, they clean the air of dust, bacteria, toxins, and enrich it with oxygen;
  • Placement - it is important to arrange flowers indoors in such a way that the level of natural light in the room is not reduced.

Those species and varieties that have clearly defined parts - stems, leaves, flowers - are better suited. This will help children study the structure of green friends.
