When Going From Nursery To Big Kid Room, Get The Children Involved
Making the switch from the nursery to a big kid room is exciting for children but, often difficult for the parents. This can be a fun adventure for both if the child is involved in the totally process such as choosing themes, colors and bedding. There are hundreds of options for the decorations so providing them with only a few choices will not overwhelm them.
Give them suggestions for a theme by suggesting cartoon shows or a fairytale as the basis. Taking the baby cribs down might be difficult for some, however, the excitement from the children make the task somewhat simpler. When the crib has been disassembled the remaining items that are nursery oriented should also be removed to have room for 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.
It is also important to remember some new storage containers. The toys will start to overcome the room if there is not a large enough toy box. The colorful containers or baskets make great storage spots for crayons, books and blocks. There a lot of kid friendly storage containers now available in bright colors and made from durable materials.
Also a great helper for keeping clothes hung in the closet are the bright and colorful hangers made for children size clothing. If the dresser is in good shape, instead of buying a new one simply paint and add colorful drawer pulls to the existing dresser.
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.
