Due to the population growth and lack of appropriate amenities and facilities for children, it is essential to design spaces in which children can discover their talents. The aim of this study was to design suitable spaces for 3-6 year olds with an emphasis on environmental features affecting children’s mind and behavior, and to improve it in terms of creativity. Using Delphi method, the questionnaire, confirmed by architecture professors, was used to survey 125 parents to find appropriate ways to design spaces for children. Descriptive statistics and Friedman tests were used to analyze data in order to rank the different dimensions of architectural design for children. The results showed that the variables had not the same priority, and the highest priorities were the existence of garden spaces and creative thinking respectively
