Charts for a child's room

A sheet in a child's room gets read hundreds of times without anyone deciding to read it. That is its advantage over a book, and it only holds if the sheet deserves the repetition: nothing decorative pretending to be information, and nothing that stops being interesting in a week.

What suits the room is the material that rewards a second look — the letters, the times table with the diagonal of squares running through it, the hundred chart with its primes, the planets to compare, the Moon going round.

Hang at the child's eye level, not an adult's. A3 if it is across the room from the bed, A4 if it goes above the desk.
