Children Love To Be Involved In Decorated Their New Big Kid Room
Making the transition from a nursery to a big girl or big boy room is usually harder on the parents than on the children. When the time comes to make the switch from baby room to toddler room, it is helpful to let them get involved in the decorating with things such as the colors, theme and furniture choices.
When the day comes to take down the baby cribs it sometimes helps the children feel more involved if they are present during this part of the process. Explain to them that they will have a big new bed that they can help pick out. Remove all items that portray the room as a nursery in order to make room for their new big kid stuff.
When shopping for the new bed it is important that the children go shopping as well and be involved in choosing which one they want. Most kids will be drawn to items such as a loft bed, but it is best to get one of the smaller toddler beds for safety.
When you have decided on the theme for the new bedroom, let the child help pick out the quilt sets in order to give them a sense of it being their choice. There are numerous of cute styles available including their favorite cartoon characters.
As the child ages there are going to be more toys and educational items collecting in their room so getting a few of the bright colored containers and baskets will provide a place for them to keep items organized. Let them choose which color for the item to be stored in as it will help them to remember where everything goes.
Purchasing the brightly colored child hangers also will help them to want their clothes to be hung in the closet as opposed to laying around. Instead of buying new dressers often times by applying a coat of new paint to the old ones with new pulls, the child will think they have all new furniture.
With all of the newly purchased accessories it will be a good idea to also repaint the room. Take the child to a home improvement store and show them two maybe three different paint choices and let them pick a favorite. A child that has been involved with going from nursery to big kid room will be more apt to keep up with keeping their new room clean and organized.
