All parents know that young children love to play and watch cartoons, but it is sometimes difficult to put them on the bed in the evening. Sleep time is the least favorite time for babies.
The cot-machine - the dream of any child!
One of the ways to reconcile the child with the fact that it is time to go to bed is to make the crib attractive in the eyes of a restless person. To do this, you can assemble a bed-machine with your own hands: it will cause associations with the heroes of the animated series, and delight children with their appearance, turning sleep into another exciting and useful game.

First you need to decide what will be the appearance of the future bed. Selection criteria are the size, functionality and preferences of the child. For younger children, it is preferable to have a car in the form of a cartoon character, for example, “Cars” or “Poly Robokar” - it will remind you of your favorite series.

In addition, these models are the safest: smooth shapes will eliminate the presence of sharp corners, and high sides will help to avoid accidental fall during sleep.

Older children can make reduced prototypes of these cars. Such models look more serious, and the child in them will feel like an adult. For authenticity, you can add beds with moving parts such as a steering wheel and wheels, or decorative elements such as windows, wheels, headlights and turn signals, which add possibilities for future children's games.

If there are several children in a family with a small age difference, there are options for a bunk bed in the form of a bus or a van. This helps to save room space and increases the functionality of the sleeping area.
A bed-machine, like a regular analogue, should take into account the needs of children in sleeping space. Convenience and comfort - the main conditions for a healthy sleep of the child. A berth should be made at least one meter wide and at least one and a half meters wide, and if you consider that parents often need to lie down for a while with their babies before going to bed, it is better to increase it to two. This will provide a reserve for growth.
Determination of the optimal size of the crib.
Spacious and comfortable bed-machine for the child.
If the planned-to-build bed-machine with your own hands will be bunk - you should consider the height of the upper floor and the ceilings in the room. Incorrect calculations can lead to the fact that the distance is too small, and the child will be uncomfortable to constantly bend over. The sides of the second floor should also be quite high.
For the manufacture of a bed-typewriter with your own hands you will need a detailed drawing, on the basis of which parts will be created. The design of the bed may include not only a sleeping place, but also additional drawers, shelves, stairs, other details and decorative elements. It is also possible to accompany the renovation of the interior of the children's room so that it more closely matches the changed situation - for example, a rug, a carpet with a pattern depicting a road, or photo wallpaper with road signs.
Having decided on the model, you can pick up similar ready-made drawings on the Internet, or do the calculations yourself, by drawing the layout manually, or in any convenient design program.

One of the techniques is to pre-draw the pattern of the future bed on cardboard or paper, so that later it is easy to transfer the projection of parts to the material chosen for the base. The bed-machine, created by yourself, the drawings of which are pre-calculated properly, much easier to assemble than a creative product from scratch.
Harmless and non-toxic materials should be the basis for a children's bed. It is recommended to carefully select the wood and check the availability of all relevant sanitary certificates.
From the correct choice of materials cot depends on its safety and durability.
The most common option is to make a car with your own hands from photo-laminated chipboard or laminated chipboard. These durable materials are characterized by a bright appearance and high moisture resistance, allowing you to create beautiful models.

Another option - the basis of MDF. It is environmentally friendly, as in the formation of an array of natural polymers are used. This material is very similar in its properties to natural wood, but at the same time more durable and resistant to external influences. Children will have to try hard to scratch such a coating, and its susceptibility to moisture is minimal. Such a children's bed-machine will be durable and practical in operation.
