Decorate Your Toddler’s Play Area
If you had the extra room your toddler would be delighted to have their own specially designated play area, decorated and equipped specifically for the purposes of play. Their bedroom or part of it will do but it’s even more fun if you have enough room in your house to have a play room. For some ideas on decorating your toddler’s play room or space, read on.
Storage – start by making the room as orderly as possible. This is not purely for aesthetic purposes but for your child’s safety as well. Without clutter, your toddler can play and run around all he wants without stubbing his cute toes or stepping and sitting on something that might cause him pain. Moreover, instilling cleanliness early on is a discipline that he will carry up to adulthood. Make use of cabinets and shelves as storage. There are also plastic containers in all sizes and colors for keeping toys. It is also a way of teaching your child to play with one toy at a time and return it before getting another one. This will prevent clutter in the room and maintain neatness.
Wall hangings – Decorate the walls with pictures, photographs and children’s artwork. If your toddler is already beginning to show a talent for the arts, you can also display his own works. It doesn’t matter if they’re incomprehensible. Art is all about interpretation and who knows, your child’s abstract approach will be the next rage of the art world. Frame them and hang them on the wall and welcome the pride you’ll feel every time you see your child’s handiwork. Educational materials are also stimulating tools for learning, such as pictures of animals, numbers, fruits and the alphabets.
Keeping in mind that your toddler is going to be spending a lot of time playing on the floor, an area rug would be a splendid idea. There are lots of different children’s designs of rugs available on the market these days. Some of these rugs can even add to the play experience, such as ones with roads on them that the child can drive toy cars around. Whatever the theme of the play area, you will be able to find a rug to suit; fairies, cars, animals, sport, teddy bears, pirates, and much more. You could even have your educational alphabet on a rug!
A comfortable chair and some plush beanbags will give the room more accessories, especially the colorful ones. You can also have a small bookshelf for keeping the storybooks, art materials and coloring books. A table and chair make a good furniture set for the drawing and coloring activities.
Toddlers love to dress up, so find room for a dress up box. It is a good idea to have a small table and chairs, too, which the toddler can use for sitting down and drawing, or for tea parties.
If you want an overall look for the play area, choose a color scheme, such as pink and white or primary colors, and pick these out in the paintwork and soft furnishings. Or you could choose a theme such as fairies or pirates, and pick these out in the cushions, rug, pictures and so on.
Your toddler at his young age will appreciate the beauty of his very own playroom by feeling ecstatic to be playing there. As he grows up, he will learn to notice the details and learn from them. Later on, you would have to redecorate to meet his requests and change in preferences. Nevertheless, decorating a playroom is uber fun that doing so a hundred times is not a problem.
