Set up a play corner for children in the waiting room

Waiting times are often unavoidable in a doctor's surgery - and this can be a challenge for the team. Restless children, stressed parents and an unrelaxed waiting room are not uncommon in everyday practice life. Adult patients are happy with a comfortable seat and a few magazines, but the little ones need more to keep them entertained. A well-equipped play corner can make all the difference. But how do you design a play corner that is child-friendly, affordable and space-saving? And how can it be integrated into the ambience of the practice? We have the perfect solution! We can provide you with customised accessories and adhesive foils for IKEA products that transform the simple and inexpensive furniture into exciting play furniture.

FAQs about the play corner in waiting rooms

How can I ensure safety in the play corner?

Safety is the top priority when setting up a play corner. Make sure that there are no small parts lying around in the play corner that could be swallowed by the youngest patients. Also protect sockets that are located near the play corner with appropriate covers. Rounded edges on the furniture ensure that the little ones cannot bump into anything. Also place all fragile or dangerous objects such as vases out of the children's reach. With our CE-certified adhesive films from Limmaland, you not only create a creative environment, but also a safe one. Our films are free from harmful substances and specially made for children's hands.

How do I keep the play corner clean and hygienic?

Hygiene is essential, especially in a waiting room where many viruses can be travelling every day - and this also applies to the play corner. With our easily wipeable adhesive films, you can clean the surfaces of the play furniture in no time at all. Crumbs, fingerprints and craft residues are removed with ease. Toys should also be cleaned and sanitised regularly. Especially frequently used parts such as building blocks or play figures. Avoid toys made of fabric, as these are difficult to clean.

How do I design a play corner for different age groups?

Children of different ages have different needs and interests - this can make designing a play corner a challenge. Go for a colourful mix of toys and books, as these are available for all age groups so that every child will find something suitable. Building blocks are suitable for the very little ones, while pre-school children prefer puzzles or picture books. In combination with a practical storage unit such as the TROFAST shelf, where the toys are stored, this is a cost-effective alternative.

How can I integrate the play corner into the practice design?

With the right tricks, you can also adapt the play corner to a harmoniously furnished practice and its furniture. With our adhesive foils, you can adapt the children's furniture in the play corner to the practice furnishings in no time at all. Choose designs and colours that match the overall style of your practice. From colourful motifs to simple patterns in pastel colours, there is something for every ambience.
