Abstract: 
This paper puts forward a new idea concerning sustainable design of preschool children's furniture, which is based on children's developmental psychology, preschool educational theories and environmental psychology. By excavating the needs of preschool children's physical, cognitive and psychosocial development, the goal and value of sustainable design of children's furniture are re-examined. A target function system of kindergarten furniture is constructed to help the professional communication between designers and preschool educators. This paper analyzes the functional mechanism of preschool children's furniture, and three ways of realizing approaches are concluded.
