Benefits of Learning Posters for Children
The child's room is a special room where your child plays and grows. If the decoration of this room is designed to encourage your child's creativity, it will become a wonderful room where your child will enjoy spending time. When decorating the child's room, the walls play as important a role as the furniture. Painting the walls in soothing colors and decorating them with posters will make the room look warmer. The most important thing is that the posters you choose for the walls of the child's room not only enhance the decoration of the room but also contribute to the development of your child.

Have you ever wondered why there are always educational posters on the walls of schools? The reason for these posters is that about 65% of the population is a visual learner and visual learning increases retention by 29-42% [1]. Children's brains absorb visual information much faster than text. Therefore, hanging posters in children's rooms supports children's development. Let's look at the features and benefits of educational posters in children's rooms in detail.
What are the characteristics of a good educational poster for children?

Simplicity: The learning poster should be designed as simply as possible. The topic should be clear and easy to understand.

Conciseness: Learning posters use only a few words. The poster should provide the appropriate keywords for the topic with a minimum of text.
Relevance: The illustrations should correspond to the theme of the poster.
Attraction: The poster should be designed in a format that attracts children’s attention.
Size: The dimensions of the poster should not be too small. The content of the poster should be easy to understand even from a distance.
Color and design: To help children understand the topic easily, theme-related colors should be used in the illustrations and white should be preferred in the background to avoid distractions.

Why are educational posters beneficial for children?
• Children can retain the information they receive through their visual memory longer and learn the most important ideas faster than from a text.
• Posters help children understand complex topics more quickly by simplifying them with pictures.
• Visual images are linked to emotions in the human brain and form memories. Posters enable children to create lasting memories by appealing to their emotional intelligence.
• Nowadays, children's attention span is getting shorter. Posters and wall art attract children and make them focus on a subject for longer.
• Posters are an excellent way to encourage interactive learning with parental involvement.
• Posters encourage creativity and the artistic nature of little ones.
• Posters also make it easy for young children to process the content.

• Posters help children focus on a particular area and maintain their interest in that area.
• Since the posters are constantly hanging on the wall, they influence the children through constant learning.
• Posters enliven the decoration of the room.
As we have already mentioned, posters not only beautify the children's room but also contribute a lot to children's learning. As Chimpy Toys, we offer various poster options that help little ones learn faster using visual memory. You can help your children learn more easily by hanging our frames in the children's room on different themes such as colors, solar system, flowers, plants, dinosaurs and the alphabet.
