Getting ready for school is a real challenge. And not so much for the child, but for his parents. So many questions to be answered! How many things to buy! And this is not only about pens, notebooks and books, because the future student also needs the appropriate furniture! What should I pay attention to in order to choose a reliable and high-quality table for a first grader?
First of all, decide for yourself: are you ready to change furniture every 2-3 years. If not, then it is worth looking after a transformable table for a first grader, which will serve him, perhaps until graduation. Some parents prefer desks with tilted tops. However, it is worth noting that such models are not equipped with drawers, so in this case you will have to buy an additional rack or shelves for the student's books and notebooks. But there is an undeniable plus here - this is the slope of the surface. In this case, the load from the spine and the tension of the back muscles are removed.
Beforeto choose a table for a first grader, be sure to consider how it should be. It may be advisable to immediately buy a model with sections for a computer, because today the educational process cannot do without this technique. Although this option can hardly be called successful, because if the space is occupied by the monitor, then less space will be left for writing instruments.
When going to the store to buy a table for a first grader, be sure to take the future student with you. It is very important that the child's posture during class is correct, and this can only be achieved if the furniture is suitable.
So, seat the first grader at the table. Please note that the distance that is formed between his stomach and the edge of the furniture should not be more than the width of the child's palm. The wrong position is fraught with the development of stoop. To determine whether the table is suitable for a first grader or not, ask the child to straighten up. Let him put his elbows on the desk, spread his fingers and try to touch the outer corner of the eye with his index. If he succeeds, then this table is perfect. If the finger rests on the forehead or chin, look for another option.
It is also important to pay attention to the position of the child's legs. If your knees rest on the bottom of the tabletop, then the table is too low. The knee, ankle and hip joints should be at a 90 degree angle. At the same time, there should be enough space under the table for the student's legs.
If you can't taketake your child to the store, be guided by the following indicators.
| Child height, cm | Table height, cm |
| 110-119 | 52 |
| 120-129 | 57 |
| 130-140 | 62 |
More accurate figures can be obtained by measuring the student. If you sit him on a chair (correct height) and measure the distance from the floor to chest level, you will get the desired table height.
And, of course, do not forget that a children's table for a first grader, like any other furniture for kids, should be made only from natural materials. Its main qualities are safety and convenience. Let your son or daughter already go to the first grade, but they are still children. Therefore, taking care of their he alth remains in the first place.
