If you have children who like being close to you all the time, it can be a good idea to create a children's corner in the living room with space for toys and creative activities. For example, create a creativity corner with the kid-sized Oakee table and chair so your child can sit and immerse themselves in creative activities. Or decorate the corner with a nice wooden bench where several children can sit next to each other and get creative.

You may want to define the children's corner with a soft, cosy rug if you have a hardwood or tiled floor. Toy and craft storage is also practical to consider when organising your kids' corner. It can be in the form of boxes or baskets with lids that can be organised and stacked when tidying up.

There’s plenty of room for creative activities to flourish when you put together a creativity corner in the playroom. Find a nice table and a small children's chair, and store pencils and paper in a spacious wardrobe with doors that can be closed when creative activities are complete. Decorate the kids' corner with bunting and a number or letter poster to spark creativity.

One creative activity you can do in your new creativity corner is to make pompom pictures. Gather all your leftover yarn and turn it into soft round pompoms – you can find a step-by-step guide here.

The creativity corner can be quickly transformed into a play or reading corner whenever you like. Fun children's jigsaw puzzles, memory games and number games are all activities that challenge children's fine motor skills and logical thinking.
