Abstract

  The aim of this study was to consider the characteristics of the structure of the production environment at different ages through a survey on the actual setting of materials and tools by age group. The research method was data collection and analysis through a questionnaire survey of caregivers who had experience teaching classes of 3-, 4- and 5-year-old children. The findings of the study revealed the following. 3-year-olds were set up in a way that ensured that they fully enjoyed the pleasure of making things themselves. 4-year-olds were in a setting that ensured that they were able to express their own images of making in a variety of ways. 5-year-olds were set up in a way that allowed the caregivers to identify and select items that the children needed or were in low demand as a result of their more refined production images.
