1. Classic - a rectangular board that is attached to some surface. Such a board may have different sizes, depending on the place to which it will be attached. The board can be attached to the wall, furniture (on the side of a table, bed, sofa) or the door of the room. Think well about how to attach the board so that the child will not be injured.
2. Double or double-sided - a stable panel that can be moved and use on it quite a number of elements for the child's development. If there are two children in the house, this bisiboard will be a good solution for interesting activities for both children, and you will have free time for other things. When making it, it is necessary to think well about the stability of such a construction.

For boys, these can be sides dedicated to the car (steering wheel, levers, wheels, etc.), the house (switches, bolts, pipes, hooks). For girls, the stands can be dedicated to dolls (bows, combs, thread braids, etc.), the home (curtains, dishes, flowers, and other things). For boys and girls, you can use the same stands devoted to everyday life (locks for clothes, shoelaces, buttons, fasteners, buttons), development (counting, letters, numbers), and child's interests.

In the bisidome, you can use the inside of the walls of the house as a game element or also decorate it with useful educational things.
