Introduction to Children's Play Spatial Space with a Behavioral Approach Based on Shape, Color and Texture

Children's world is a world of play and fun for children. When playing, children need space to move and be creative to develop their creativity and imagination. Through play, children can recognize shapes, colors and textures which can then increase their creativity. Play activities are a learning process for children to explore their movements and body movements, so children need space that can facilitate all their movement activities. Children can recognize their spatial space based on a behavioral approach through the process of recognizing shapes, colors and textures. Children's perceptions in using their spatial space can form patterns and behavior through the process of seeing, observing, getting to know space and then exploring space with their imagination. The problem that can be developed is how children can recognize their spatial space by looking at their movements and behavior through recognizing shapes, colors and textures. The goal to be achieved is to determine children's spatial needs through the implementation of children's learning room designs that are oriented towards recognizing shapes, colors and textures using play methods. The approach is taken by observing and observing the spatial needs of children's play space which is then analyzed. Observation results show that children tend to be able to recognize their spatial space by recognizing the shapes, colors and textures found in the room.
