Abstract:  
           
          One of the most effective spaces on children’s life is Educational 
          spaces, where the children usually spend long period of their life 
          there. According to various important aspects of outdoor and natural 
          spaces in education and children’s nurture skills, design of these spaces 
          is an essential issue among the topics raised in designing educational 
          spaces. Natural spaces at schools should provide three categories of 
          children’s needs, which are denominated to: “educational”, “communal 
          and physical”, and “emotional” needs. For all of these categories, the 
          special spaces and desirable designing have to be concerned to achieve 
          the most efficient educational spaces. Furthermore, outdoor designing 
          and natural spaces will affect on artificial spaces of schools, due to the 
          strong relationship between them. In current study, the effect of those 
          three mentioned categories has been evaluated on the designing of 
          educational spaces. Also, the effect of each aspect has been considered 
          separately to recognize which principles are required to design an 
          idealistic educational space.
