How to find kids room decorating ideas
Even professional designers have a difficult time coming up with the right blend of colors and décor to decorate a room or house. If you are not able to simply and effortlessly conjure up themes colors and décor to make your kids bedroom the envy of your friends of and neighbors, then you are not alone. No one can do that, not even that designer guy from Oprah. It takes some effort and knowledge of where to find the right resources with good decorating ideas.
Don’t panic though, all you have to do is steal ideas, yes steal. There is a saying among designers that great designers steal and good designers copy. Just find something that you like in a store, a magazine, a book, or on a website, grab the idea and run with it. No one is going to come to your house and accuse your of infringing any copyright law or anything like that, just find something you like and copy it or portions of it.
There are resources available everywhere to find ideas. Let’s start with the most obvious; home and house magazines, particularly the ones that cater to children’s room decoration. Don’t get too carried away or intimidated by how stunning these designs can be, they are usually expensive items that are photographed professionally, you might to be able to complete but you can create a pretty good replica with less expensive items, or you might just look at information on color coordination and arrangements.
A few websites that I find very helpful are: about.com ohdeedoh.com/, Apartment Therapy Online stores that offer kids bedding and similar products can also be a great resource, the display pictures sometimes, provides good ideas, lastly and at the risk of this being perceived as a shameless plug, you could search this blogs archive for articles that you might find very helpful.
Storage for Kids Stuff
Kids tend to become very attached to their stuff. Whether it’s old clothes, broken toys, or just some nondescript item from the backyard, generally referred to as playthings, or hobbies. In many instances, this is stuff that can be justly classified as trash, some kids even get attached their old worn out boys bedding and girls bedding, this makes it difficult throw them out.
If you have one or a few kids living in your house, this is not news to you, you already know that they come with fair amount of baggage. Few of us have adequate space to store everything around the home, let alone all the stuff that kids tend to accumulate over the years, which can add up to be quite substantial over the years.
You are sometimes faced with the choice of tossing out your kids precious treasures and keeping what amounts to a dump heap of stuff lying around the house. In most cases, the choice is pretty simple, you have to keep them. Finding storage space is as important as choosing the right colors, decor or kids bedding.
Creating space for storage or new ways to organize a child’s stuff, using the right items and methods, will make home more orderly and peaceful. This can also serve the secondary purpose of teaching children methods of organizing their stuff.
The following methods are some you can consider, when looking for room to store your kids loot.
Discovering space for storage or using just the right items to organize the things of a child’s life will make the life of your child and your life as a parent more peaceful and orderly.
Little Pieces
Sometimes kids have lots of tiny stuff, no matter the things that they like or their special interests. Clothes for dolls, plate sets, puzzles, jewelry, games or small toys can be stored in small boxes plastic boxes and shoe boxes, properly marked with their contents, fancy stickers can be used for this purpose.
Shelves along a Wall
Get yards of extra storage by erecting shelves along walls. You can construct them yourself. Find easy to install shelves at home improvement stores. Install side-by-side units, connecting each one to the other. Add crown molding to the top interlocked shelves for a unique look.
Kids-Room Organization
The most convenient place to store a child’s stuff is in their closet. The child and parent uses this space every day to store toys, books, shoes school and little keepsakes. Store seldom utilized the back of the closet and items that are used often at the front for easy access.
Under the bed
Yes, under the bed can be a great place to store items, add smaller items in marked boxes or just add a row of shoes etc under the bed and use a bed skirt or dust ruffle to cover the foot of the bed, a bed skirt makes the bed look more complete, also, this is your opportunity to add one for decoration and for a secondary purpose of hiding thing stored under the bed.
Bed Drawers
When purchasing beds for kids, it’s a very good idea to get the ones that has pull-out drawers. These sometimes provide very large drawers that can provide lots of additional space for storage, especially for kids clothing and laundered bedding etc.
Out of Sight
Use areas like the attic, basement, an outhouse, or even under stairs for storing seasonal items, such as sporting equipment, memorabilia, and school projects. Use tightly sealed plastic containers to prevent molds and dust, and to protect them from moths.
Plain Bedding For Kids
Designer kids bedding patterns, with age appropriate themes, can simplify the task of decorating your kids rooms. That being said, the bedding set does not need to be the centerpiece of the design that you might adopt to decorate your children’s bedroom.
Plain colors; bright or pastel, are great to use as a starting point for creating fun themes or just to add the right blend of decorative accessories.
One very good idea is the use plain color bedding and complete the foot of the bed with the addition of an elaborately designed bed skirt. Experiment with bright striped patterns, large dots, paisley, or other fanciful patterns. Match the bed skirt with curtains or wall decals or a lovely plain color kids rug. that coordinate with the bed skirt for a finished look.
Also, lots of bedding patterns sold as adult bedding can be used as kids bedding; just decorate and accessorize with the appropriate kiddy touch.
Do not limit your options; free yourself from dependence on bedding for kids. They are sometimes very expensive. Keep an open mind and be on the lookout for inexpensive sheets, comforters and duvet covers. Stick with plain bedding; there is nothing worse than bad quality kids bedding parading as designer versions.
To find these, browse web stores, check your local department stores, flee markets etc, just look around.
What is Kids bed in a bag
You might have heard the term kids bed in a bag mentioned before; it’s quite ubiquitous on the internet. Bed in a bag is used interchangeably with bed in a box. Largely, both terms refers to the same thing. The question might have gone through your mind, what’s a bed in a bag/box? A Bed in a bag is just a random mélange of bed linen such as; comforter, duvet, quilts, coverlets, pillowcases, pillow shams, sheets sets, bed skirts, bed huggers, and even accent pillows.
The first time I heard the phrase bed in a bag talked about the first thing that came to my mind was that it was a kind of portable fold up bed that’s used at night and folded up during the daytime, a space saving device of some sort. I later learned that a bed in a bag was not a bed but actually bedding, a mishmash collection of just about any of the aforementioned items of bedding, in any variation that suits a bedding retailer’s fancy.
I have no idea who invented the term, my theory is that “bedding in a bad” or bedding in a box is a bit of a tongue twister, so it was shortened to bed in a bag/box, I don’t know that’s just a guess. Try saying it out loud, and you might see that my theory is not too far-fetched. If I’m right then I would like to congratulate the creator of that phrase, notwithstanding the fact that it’s somewhat misleading.. I guess he or she thought the phrase would catch on eventually, it caught on indeed.
Now fully equipped with enough knowledge and information, I will try to dispense a little bit of information you might find useful if you decide to purchase anything of those thing with the weird name; bed in bag.
The key thing to do before making a purchase is reading the information provided by the seller. I have discovered from my research that they don’t always do a good job of explaining what comes in the package, if you are in doubt, either call the retailer or take your business elsewhere, any seller who fails to explain what they are selling does not deserve your business. Also, I have seen cases where a bed in a box is just a sheet set.
What should you expect to see in a bed is a bag? The answer is simply, there is no set type of bed in a bag, you just have to read the information provided. Just to highlight the difference you may find from bed in a bag to the other. I did a quick check online can came with the following variations:
- 1 twin comforter, 1 twin sheet set, 1 twin bed skirt and 1 pillow sham
- Comforter; 2 Pillow Shams 2 Decorative Pillows, 2 Euro Shams,1 Skirt, 4 Piece Sheet Set
- 1 pillowcase, 1 fitted sheet, 1 comforter, 1 duvet cover
- 1 x Duvet Cover, Bed Sheet, Pillow Cases, Pillow Cases
- Comforter, bed skirt, two standard shams, one flat sheet, one fitted sheet, two pillowcases
Hopefully, this highlights the importance of getting the proper information before you buying a boys bed in a bag or girls bed in a bag. Does it save you money purchasing a bed in a bag? The obvious answer is yes, collectively, it does, but it’s up to you to decide whether or not you need all the items stocked in a bed in a bag.
Kids wall stickers, kids wall decals
Kids Wall stickers is an way to to add embilishments to a bland wall in your kids room, or playroom.
They have been around for quite some time, but the the selections is much larger nowdays, wall decals are quite plentiful. Wall decals are easy to remove and easily replaced, which makes them a good choice for kids rooms. Kids have a tendency to change their mind quite often. They will find something trendy one minute and then next they think it’s a dud.
Often, parents applies elaborate paint jobs with complex patterns and stencils to add patterns to a kids wall. This can be time consuming and expensive. Chaning the color of your wall can also take a lot of time and dime, wall decals can provide you with the flexibility to change the look of your wall without doing paint job.
Kids Wall decals should always be considered among the top choices to add lively interest to a kids bedroom walls. The availability of such a large variety of kids wall decals, provides you with many options for your wall decoration, you are almost certain one to fit within your current theme or create an entirely new one.
Wall Decals are not restricted to use on walls either, some wall decals can be used on any surface, so you can also use them on furniture and appliances, think about all the possibilities.
The difference between a Pillowcase and a Pillow Sham
Question: What is the difference between a Pillowcase and a Pillow Sham
Answer: The common misconception is that they are one in the same. Technically, they have similar functions; they are both slip covers for bed pillows. However, they serve difference purposes and are designed differently.
Pillowcases are more functional. They are meant to be slept on. They serve as protection for your face while you sleep; absorbing oil, perspiration and …drool, there I said it. Pillowcases are usually constructed from the same fabric as the beds’ fitted or flat sheet, and normally designed to match them.
Pillow Shams on the other hand, serves more decorative purposes. Typically, they are not meant to be slept on, they are there only for embellishment. Pillow shams can add a real nice touch to a room, and serves as a nice compliment to your kids bedding. They are usually designed to coordinate with the kids comforter, quilt, coverlet, or Kids duvet cover and may be adorned with ornate laces, embroidery and generally more intricate patterns than pillowcases. You can also expect pillow shams to be a little more cushioned.
A pillow sham is a wonderful way to add some flair to a tired looking pillow and make it radiant. Pillow shams are usually zipped in the middle, which serves as an insertion point for the pillow. Shams can also serve as a pillowcase, but more people will avoid this because pillow shams are more costly, as they are usually made from more expensive fabric and designed more elaborately.
There is also the Euro Sham. What is a Euro sham you ask; simple, the word Euro means cushion is German, a Euro sham is a cushioned pillow.
5 Themes for girls rooms
Decorating your little girl’s room with a blend of the appropriate theme and pretty colors is a wonderful way to create an unforgettable design I’ve mentioned painting patterns on walls in some instances but I think they are a waste of energy, given the prevalence of kids wall decals and the very large variety available. The ease with which kids wall decals can be removed and replaced is my main reason for recommending them so highly.
Sea, Ocean, Beach
For a year round beach experience (especially if you don’t live near the ocean and wish you did), use rich blue shades of the ocean to create a beach theme. Find color inspiration in ocean-themed wallpaper, kids bedding, kids wall decals, kids’ rugs or even a piece of furniture. It will seem so real; you will be picking up sea shells. Add light blue girls bedding to finish the look.
Angels, Fairies
Girls of any age loves with this ecumenical theme, Fairies themes could use Fairy shapes with sparkling magic wands golden or silvery dust and magic stars. Angel themes are great with fluffy beds, cool pinks, pastel blues, and lilacs.
Flower Shower
This looks is based on vivid and intense oranges, lime greens, sunny yellows and deep watermelon pinks. Find colorful floral kids wall Decals or plain-colored kids wall borders and simple floral fabrics. Copy floral shapes and print enlarged versions, then trace in randomized patterns on walls and paint with vivid matching colors to match the fabrics.
Butterflies
Butterflies are big with little girls, if you little girls love butterflies; there are numerous way to incorporate it into her room. A wall mural, kids’ wall decals or wall borders with butterflies is the natural way to go, if you do this go with plain fabric bedding. You could also use kids bedding with decorated with butterflies.
Princesses and Castles
For the little princess, decorate her walls with castle kids’ wall decals or wall borders; make sure these incorporate blue skies. This will kick start her princess theme giving her a room befitting her status. Create a canopy for her bed with swaths of pretty netting; add a contrasting look to stone wall by adding stenciled vines or flowers.

Transport Kids Bedding
Parents need to pay close attention to transportation kids bedding patterns when looking to decorate their little boys room. The bedding is usually the most dominant item when decorating a kids room and selecting transport bedding is aways winning choice. Forget pattern based on disney and other cartoon characters. Transport-themed kids boys bedding should always be considered among the first choices for boys.
Little boys are always very fascinated by transport. They seem be especially enamored with construction vehicles, if you happen to catch a little boy passing by a construction site you will almost certainly observe them staring admiringly at the heavy equipment. Firetrucks, ambulances police vehicles are also among their favorites.
Parents need to pay close attention to transportation patterns when looking for kids bedding to decorate their little boys room. The bedding is alway the most important item when decorating a kids room so getting transport bedding is a winning choice. Look no further when selecting bedding for boys, forget the disney and other cartoon characters. Transport-themed kids boys bedding should always be considered among the first choices for boys.
Boys have a special affinity with construction vehicles, backhoes graders, tractors, loaders and tractors. It you examine the toy box of any random little boy typically, you will find the collection dominated by vehicles and you almost certainly will find a large truck standing out among them.
Vehicles are universal toys for boys, Tonka is reported to have sold a quarter of a billion trucks since it was founded the late nineteen forties. In virtually every country on earth you will find little boys vrooming with their favorite vehicles.
Mark Cherrington in his article Darwin’s 18 wheeler made this quote.
A few years ago I was in a rural village in Zimbabwe where there were no cars, but the village boys had bent wire into elaborate, working models of jalopies they’d likely seen only a few times. (Similar creations, found elsewhere in Africa, are called galimoto, which means “car” in Chichewa, the national language of Malawi.)
He further stated that archaeologists have excavated many toys with wheels and axels from Mayan sites in Mexico. The objects have been found to be from an era nearly 2,000 years ago. He also said that there were no animals to pull wagons at the time, which suggested that the toys vehicles are essentially the only ones that were in existence during that era in Mayan history.
A lot of research has been done on gender-based toys choices and it has been found that when given a choice of toys boys predominantly gravitate towards trucks.
Does that provide anyone with a tip when looking to purchase bedding for kids? Because boys adore vehicles so much, this should provide parents with not so subtle clue about what kind of bedding to consider among their choices when contemplating the right kind of bedding for a boys room a very easy choice to make.
Theme based boys room
While you might fancy bunnies and teddy bears for your little boys room, a theme-based bedding for kids and Decor will give you that unique room that give the flexibility the change while your child grow.
Bugaboo (Bugs)
Nature’s creatures often captivate a child and get their attention in a hurry. Boys adore reptiles and insects such as bees frogs, grasshoppers, lizards and other reptiles, you can bring their fascination indoors in this way and in the process, keep the real ones outdoors and keep them away completely.
Animals
A design centered around a boys favorite pet is a wonderful idea. Bird, snake, hamster, cat or dog, using any of these themes and you son will feel at home, (his pet even mores). Hang lots of pictures of the boy and his friend, and scatter stuffed animal (like his pet) all over the room. He will enjoy having so much of is best friend around, after all is life is already centered around his pet.
Race Cars
Zoom Zoom! Think checked flags. Use rugs with the little speed demon’s favorite track design. The daredevil will have a lot of fun with walls adorned with car wall decor and appliques. For good measure add Framed photos or posters of face cars, nascar is particularly popular among boys nowadays. Also, erect some small shelving to show off his toy race car collection. Also, transport kids boys bedding is always a good choice for a boys room
Troopers
Whether Marines, Army, Air Force or Navy, get the boy to feeling patriotic by outfitting his space with desert colors and and also add tanks, humvees and army vehicles. Painting the wall in camouflage is also a great idea. Dear lord please, no gun please!
Sports
This one is guaranteed to be a hit, a winner by all means (ok enough of the puns). Sports team are guaranteed to span years…pssst… his dad wouldn’t mind your room decorated with Red Socks stuff, he is just not saying it.
I hope it’s clear now how long a sports theme will last. From baseball, to soccer to hockey or any sports that interest your boy will do.
You can create a sports themed room with other sport equipment and icons. Sports area rugs, beds, boys bedding sheets or, quilts, valances or drapes will do just fine. There are just endless possibilities when it comes to decorating with sports themes, just use your imagination. These are just a few of the themes you can choose from when decorating your boys room. We will bring you more stay tuned. Find your favorite theme by browsing though boys bedding I was reading the blog Odeedoh recently and I found a spirited discussion on the benefits and in some cases objections to the use of a duvet cover for toddler bed bedding I decided to post this discussion in it’s entirety because I believe that readers could benefit immensely from what other moms are saying about their experience with the usage of a duvet cover for toddlers. Without further delay here:
Comforter Versus Duvet Showdown
I am debating between purchasing a comforter vs. duvet cover for my 16-month-old daughter. A duvet cover is appealing, since it is much easier to wash/dry. But I noticed that most stores sell comforters for children. I was hoping to hear feedback from experienced mothers on the issue.
We have an alt-down toddler comforter with duvet, and a little toddler pillow, also (boudoir size). It’s great being able to wash the duvet.
posted by catcam on March 3rd 2010 at 1:40pm
I’m interested to see what other moms have to say. Our 23 months old is still in a sleep sack, which means no kick off of covers, which we really like.
posted by aspenchick on March 3rd 2010 at 1:42pm
my two yr old son sleeps through the nite. ocassionaly he soaks his diaper along with all the bedding. so its really nice to wash everything. i am not planning on purchacing any type of cute covers untill he upgrades to potty trained and a twin bed. i dont really see myself washing a cover less than the entire duvet also.
posted by jackied302 on March 3rd 2010 at 1:47pm
I also would suggest a comforter WITH duvet. You can find great kids duvets at many places. Garnet Hill, Land of Nod, Pottery Barn Kids, Olive Kids, Company Kids all have duvet covers (some call them comforter covers) for twin sizes. I love being able to switch out the cover for the different seasons, and a duvet is easy to wash and store. I was the comforters inside every couple months.
posted by Maevers on March 3rd 2010 at 1:47pm
It’s my opinion that most juvenile bedding is in comforter form because of how often they change their preferences. Meaning that you would expect your 5 year old to use the carebare comforter you bought her when she was 2, just as your 10 yr old would prefer Miley Cyrus to the Strawberry Shortcake she got at 5.
I’d go for a duvet and cover, but then I have a huge hate on for licensed goods.
posted by Angus on March 3rd 2010 at 1:47pm
I felt the same way when I was looking for bedding for my son. I ended up making my own duvet cover for him, because I decided I wanted a duvet but couldn’t find a cover that I liked. Its REALLY simple to make, just make sure you put ribbons on the inside corners to tie onto the corners of the duvet to keep it from bunching up., and put snaps on the bottom. I’m no sewing expert and didn’t find it difficult.
If you have a bedding set that you like, you could always buy the curtains to use as fabric. I liked the Target Circles bedding, so i ended up buying a curtain and using that as the fabric for the duvet and it worked out great.

my dd is 5 now, but she just kicked all blankets off until about age 3 or so. We tried the duvet cover, even bought a fairly expensive one, but it didn’t work well for us. At age 4 we tried a duvet on her twin, the comforter would bunch a little and the duvet would get twisted… probably because she is an active sleeper. I finally relented and bought a cheap comforter and threw another blanket on top. One other thought.. if you think you are going to save the comforter insert from washes, you might want to rethink. Between toddler and youth, unless you wash weekly, your comforter might be hitting the laundry for bed wetting & illness vs just getting dirty, the insert will still see lots of wash wear. At least thats our experience.

I also forgot to mention.. that we also purchased a duvet and comforter (toddler size) from the company store as well. Great quality.. but by the time she was settled enough to use it at night she was too tall to stay warm. Total waste of money for us.
posted by isitoveryet on March 3rd 2010 at 1:53pm
while in the crib my son slept in a sleep sack. when he turned 2 we moved him to a toddler bed. we got a comforter from the dwell collection at target. no problem since. the comforter washes great. one advice i would give is that during potty training there’s going to be accidents as in the case with my son and the entire comforter can get soaked so if you have a duvet cover, you’ll need to wash everything.
posted by lucymom on March 3rd 2010 at 1:53pm
you can definitely just slip a duvet cover on a comforter instead of a duvet. if you find it doesn’t fit properly, you can either sew snaps or ribbons in it as inspiredmomma suggested, or buy little duvet clips at most home stores. they’re covered in soft foam and clip the corners of the comforter/duvet inside the corner.
i also use duvet covers for my grownup bedding—nice easy way to change the look every now and then!
posted by isfive on March 3rd 2010 at 2:40pm
If your daughter is still in a crib or toddler bed I say smaller is better too…we recently moved my three year old to her “big girl bed” (a full size) and ended up stripping off the “big girl bedding” in favor of the fitted sheet and her “little” blankets. I think all the big stuff overwhelmed her…we can always use it later.
Duvets are always my choice for the laundry factor…so much easier to deal with.
posted by annasmom11 on March 3rd 2010 at 2:42pm
We use a twin duvet w/ cover (which I made) for both kids. No top sheet. My children both thrash around at night;We haven’t had a problem with the duvet bunching up in the cover. They wash/dry extremely well every few days.
In the Winter, I add a comforter and top sheet under the duvet.

I think you can go with either option (comforter or duvet with cover) as long as they’re washable.

Washable and durable are key. Between bedwetting, potty training, vomit, and all those other pleasant aspects of childhood, you want something that you can wash OFTEN. The problem with down duvets is that you can’t wash them too frequently. Perhaps synthetic ones will last better? A nice cotton quilt, soft cotton blanket, flannel sheets, and cozy PJs have been warm enough for our child.

we got an inexpensive ikea comforter and a west elm twin duvee cover. love it!

Seconding the Ikea duvet and cover recommendation. They’re incredibly inexpensive, so we also bought backups of both for middle-of-the-night incidents. This ended up being a very good move.

duvets are convenient for regular laundering, but if the down comforter inside the duvet cover gets wet (think blowouts or accidents or upset tummies), laundering isn’t so easy. I opt for a quilt and sheets for my three year old in his twin bed (knock on wood he’s never wet the bed). My 1 year old sleeps in fleece blanket sleeper which keep him cozy in his crib.

Thanks for all the great advice! I’m curious if anyone knows of a easy tutorial for making your own duvet cover with ribbons/snaps (per above recommendations). I like the idea of having a duvet cover over a comforter.
I had no idea there would be so many middle of night accidents. Oh boy….

Our 2 year old is potty trained already, but still sleeps in the crib. We don’t use a comforter or a duvet. She’s happy with her baby blankets and baby quilts, which are all machine washable. Don’t be to quick to get “big kid bedding”, it can easily overwhelm a small child. Comforters can be very heavy when you only weigh 22 lbs.

I don’t know of any tutorials, but I made a few duvet covers by sewing two flat sheets together on three sides. For the bottom, I put button holes across both open edges, and tied with fabric ties (you could use ribbon). Grommets and ribbon would work, too, with less sewing. Snaps are easy peasy…just hand sew them on. You can do it!!

Both our dd (almost 3) and our ds (15 mths) are notorious for kicking covers off and they never were fond of sleep sacs. We have an Ikea duvet cover and insert for our dd’s Ikea toddler bed, but it’s really just decoration at the end of her bed. She rarely even sleeps under a sheet. And our ds has never used any covers in the crib. But then the upstairs of our townhouse is a hot box so they don’t really need the extra coverings.

Great question! I didn’t know what to get either when our son moved up to a twin bed. I ended up buying a duvet from Ikea. Right now, though, he just sleeps with a simple blanket since he’s learning how to sleep with anything at all other than pjs. When he’s ready, I’ll put it on the bed. I’d go with duvet.

We have a quilt on our toddler’s beds. It’s versatile for summer or winter. In the cold, we just add a thick, woven blanket underneath. The quilt is easy to throw in the washer too. We had duvets, but when “accidents” happen, they leak through to the comforter inside- so then you end up washing two things.
posted by craftyashley on March 3rd 2010 at 5:03pm
I’m all for a quilt as well. The simpler the better. Quilts and blankets are so much easier to wash than a duvet plus duvet cover. Also, then you don’t have to mess with re-stuffing the duvet or comforter back into its cover and re-aligning it etc.. I don’t know if it’s laziness or practicality, but that is too big of a pain for me. I think the kids also find it easier to make their own beds when the pieces themselves are simpler. As far as changing the look, if you get a quilt in a plain color with just stitching for the pattern, you can change the look of the bed with pillows/pillowcases, throws etc., which is cheaper and easier than whole new bedding sets or even new covers. (Spoken by a mom of three—8, 5, and 2).

All our grannies and great-grannies quilt, so we are full up with quilts of various sizes and if it gets colder, using more than one quilt works well.
That being said, a bout of stomach flu this week had both kids sleeping together under the (quilted, of course) picnic blanket and a couple bath towels last night, as I ran yet another load of quilts through the sanitize cycle of the washing machine.
I shudder at the idea of having to undress a duvet or shove a vomit-covered comforter into the wash at 1 AM.

We use a duvet inside a duvet cover. When my son first moved into his full size bed at aged 2 he slept on top of the duvet, covered in his little blankets and gradually decided to get under his covers after a few months. If his duvet cover gets dirty in the middle of the night we have plenty of others from our adult beds which we can use at a pinch. I find duvet covers just much easier to wash frequently than quilts.

Transitioning from a crib to a bed
According to Kathleen Turner of the baby center; A child should be ready for transition to a bed when the little excerpt artist start finding way to climb out of the crib, or when he or she is three feet tall or more.
Many parents make the move when their babies start climbing out of the crib, but they really should not rush out and buy a toddler bed. You can buy yourself some time by lowering the crib mattress help keep that little Houdini imitator in check. Adjust the crib mattress as low as possible to make “escaping” far more difficult.
Roberts went on to say that some children have a more difficult time than others making the transition as they may be very attached to their crib. She further stated that this trays is more common among first borns and that children with siblings will find it easier because they want to imitate the actions of their older siblings thinking that a crib is for “babies” ha..She recommended putting the toddler bed in the same spot that the crib used to be.
Roberts, also said to avoid making the transition when there are other events going on in the child’s life, going out to school or the arrival of a new baby is stressful enough. Timing should be based on the child’s readiness rather than the need to get rid of a crib. Be sure to exercise patience and do not rush the child.
Once you are certain that they are ready, you can try purchasing a toddler bed, one benefit of thong this is that the crib mattress will fit the toddler bed perfectly, saving you some money.Crib bedding for the most part is interchangeable with toddler bed bedding.
Alternatively, you may want to purchase a twin or a full sized bed. if you do this, be sure to purchase guard rails to keep the new “big kid” from falling off. It takes a while for then to develop the cognitive motor skills to avoid falling off the bed.
Bed Skirts Complete Your Kids Bed
Leaving the box spring or base of your kids’ bed exposed or partially exposed can be an eye sore. A fashionable bed skirt completes the bottom of the bed.
A bed skirt is also a good way to hide what’s under your kids’ bed providing you with providing you with more space to store toys and other items. So, what do you look for when purchasing a bed skirt.
Size
When buying a bed skirt it is important that you choose the proper size, i.e. if your child has a full size bed skirt, make certain you get a full size bed skirt, if you child has a twin sized bed make sure you purchase a twin size bed skirt…you get the picture.
Color
You can choose a plain; matching or contrasting color to go with your kids bedding. If you have floral or patterned sheets, quilt, comforter or kids duvet cover, a plain color would be ideal.
A bed skirt is also great way to bring some panache to your kids room by adding patterns such as plaid, paisley, checks, stripes or really vivid colors.
Drop
Drop refers to the measurement from the top of the box spring or foundation to the floor. Our standard measurement is a 14inches drop for most of our matching bed skirts. 14 inches ensures that the bed skirt goes all the way down to the floor.
Cost
A bed skirt cost about the same as a sheet set or in most cases a little bit less. If your budget does nto allow you to purchase one, alternatively, you can use a regular sheet to create a makeshift bed skirt. The works a lot better than you might imagine, in this case you would also use the same size as the bed.
Getting your kids proper sleep
The need for adequate sleep for school age children has been well established. Preschoolers need 10 - 12 hours of sleep. Elementary school kids ages 6 - 9 need 9 - 10 hours of sleep per night. Teens and pre teens need 8 to 9 ½ hours per night. Teenagers, especially, rarely get enough sleep due to their keeping late nights and very early school scheduling. Studies show that sleep deprivation and can severely impair both emotional and cognitive learning.
Overtired students not only have difficulty concentrating and retaining the classroom material but also are more likely to have problems with their temper and feelings around other students. In addition, sleep deprived younger children are more physically clumsy resulting in more playground accidents.
So whether your child is 6 months or 16 years of age a few guidelines for successful sleep can be easily implemented:
- Keep a consistent bedtime routine. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.
- Avoid sugar (no sodas!), caffeine and rich foods at night.
- Keep the bedroom dark. Use blackout shades, blinds or curtains that eliminate outside light, whether from a street lamp, the full moon or sunrise. Soft and comfortable Kids Bedding won’t hurt either.
- Avoid TV and the computer screen before bed. The reflected light from TV/computer screens stimulates the brain to stay awake.
Applying these simple steps will improve the quality of your child’s sleep and subsequent learning and emotional development. They might also allow you a few extra winks as well.
Quality Sleep and Learning – A Key to Proper Child Development
We all know what happens when children are overtired and it’s not pretty! Crying, screaming, moodiness and behavior problems galore have been associated with sleep deprivation in children. But did you know that lack of proper sleep could also adversely affect a child’s long-term ability to learn and function well in society?
There is no magic formula for exactly how much sleep your individual child needs but all children need more sleep than the average adult.
Infants up to 6 months of age sleep the most, nearly 16-20 hours per day in 4-5 hour segments. It’s important to realize that infants can cry, gurgle and make many different noises when they are actually still in a light stage of sleep. Letting your baby self-soothe itself back into a deeper sleep will allow your baby to teach itself to fall back to sleep on its own.
With toddlers an inconsistent bedtime schedule can cause difficulties. For toddlers 10-14 hours of sleep is recommended. Equally necessary is a bedtime ritual that is soothing and set at the same time every day. Stuffed animals, a favorite song, a hot bath or bedtime story can help ease anxiety and give your child a sense of belonging and control at bedtime. Throw in some comfortable kids bedding for good measure.
The Bassinet/Cradle
The website popular baby product newsletter featured the Burlington traditional cradle bassinet. The cradle rocking style baby bassinet feature in the newsletter is one of the products we carry at huggy kids bedding.
They feature two wicker bassinet baskets. The bassinet baskets are great for storing baby items such as clothes and diapers and towels, a very nice way to keep those items neatly packed away and ready for use.
These have convertible wheels – with the wheels up, you get your bassinet and with the wheels down it converts seamlessly to a rocking cradle. The locking hood snaps right into place when attached and is removed very easily when not in use. Just like it’s sister the Moses Basket, the bassinet can server handily as a storage device when the baby outgrow it. This is a safe and easy way to keep the baby close without co-sleeping.
Getting kids to sleep on time
In a recent at the baby center centered around getting good sleep for your kids, the author Ziba Kashef emphasises the importance of getting kids to bed on time. In the article she cited findings that kids nowadays gets on average 2 hours of sleep less then they did a generation ago. Maybe it’s because there is a lot more for kids to do in this generation, talk about the advent of cable television, video games, the internet and all the other things that can occupy a kids time.
Parents too have the same, problem; with long work hours and sometimes long commute, they have little time to catch up on their favorite activities too. The article went on to emphasize the fact that allowing children to go to bed too late will create overfatigue. Parents have to get the children into sound bedtime habits. They will have to contend at first with some bedtime battles, but the children will soon get used to their new bedtime schedule. The writer also states that when parents put off bedtime to avoid these battles in hopes that children will crash, it usually does not work out that way because when kids get overly tired they get wired resulting in them staying up even later. So, get them into a nice routine and help them get to bed on time for your own sake and theirs, also, don’t forget the spruce up their bedrooms with all the wonderful Kids Bedding available here.
The Importance of colors, textures and patterns in infant development
Colors textures and patterns in Kids bedding: Solutions to promote a restful night and early infant development.
Your infant may not be able to speak in a manner we readily understand but recent science has shown that their senses are busy learning all the time. It has been proven that when child’s senses are regularly stimulated the faster that child will develop.
Consider the sense of touch: a key element in an infant’s contact with the world. Simple things like color, pattern, shape or texture - things adults ignore or take for granted-these same things speak volumes to a baby. For example, the different feel of fabrics like flannel, sateen and cotton to little fingers help develop a sense of touch. As a child explores the difference between the smoothness sateen and soft nap or flannel or the shape of a pillow or crib bumper their cognitive development is enhanced. With sight, bold black and white shapes improve visual acuity and while colorful prints with animals, flowers and geometric designs not only add pizzazz to the decor but improve recognition and learning and spur early development overall.
Sights, sound, smells, texture all play an important role. It’s key to remember that when you engage your child’s many awakening senses, they will not only learn about the many differences in their new world, but will learn to enjoy them!
Why Kids Duvet Covers?
In French the word duvet means down. A duvet is a type of bag filled with feathers, polyester, or any other stuffing. Duvet covers also know as comforter covers, main use is to keep other bed linen clean by shielding them from dust and dirt.
Duvets are very simple to care for and easy to use. They are useful because they can be washed with other bed linen, this help maintain their freshness and parents won’t have to worry about kids spilling beverages on them.
Colorful duvets will make rooms more cozy and pleasant, particularly for kids. Duvets provides a way to achieve this inexpensively. Kids duvet covers are available in an variety of colors and designs and provides a quick easy way to transform the look of your kids room, this will help parents to facilitate their kids changing tastes.
Kids usually want their rooms to look trendy, so they change their minds quilt often, this makes purchasing duvet covers an ideal investment for the. Duvet covers are an economical way to change your kids bedrooms without investing a lot of money…well it depends on the duvet covers and your taste, you can also find very expensive and exclusive kids duvet covers too.
Teaching your children to read a clock
Teaching your children to read the time at first may seem like a hectic task, but if the correct procedures are taken it can be quite a breeze!
Children normally learn this necessary skill at a certain stage of school, but you can facilitate and make the process much easier if you begin to point out the basic skills associated with ‘clock reading’ from as early as possible.
When teaching children to read the time make it as fun and exciting as possible, be sure not to turn it into an activity that they dread and shy away from. You can build a colorful makeshift clock with vivid and vibrant features, for your kids to get hands and practical with. Also you can let your children relate the time to you using real life scenarios, such as making them tell you what time they’re going to bed or what time they’re going to practice and so on, this helps them to become more familiar with the time and they get a feel of the value of time as well.
Parents don’t give up on your kids when it seems that they’ll never learn to read a clock, it takes time and energy but they will learn, you did, didn’t you? I’m sure it wasn’t easy for your mom or dad either. Teach your children the importance of time overall and also how important it is to work with time and be on time. Take the time out to teach them the time and most importantly take your time don’t rush the process. You can then get then a nice kids clock as a reward for learning.
Some Facts About Moses Baskets
Named after the biblical story of Moses, who was hidden in a basket and sent adrift on the river Nile in order to be kept safe and to evade the Egyptians, the Moses basket is designed for the first months of infancy from newborn to about four or five months. It is designed to be snug and cocoon like, and simulates the womb to provide maximum comfort for babies. Like its counterpart the bassinet, baby moses baskets are temporary alternative to the crib; however, babies appear to be comfortable in the Moses basket. Its snugness and ease of portability makes it a better selection than the bassinet. The Moses basket can be placed on a stand, or on the floor.
Moses Baskets convenient alternative to the crib during the first few months of life because it takes up less space, and it allows the mother or caregiver to be very close to the newborn or infant especially during nighttime feedings. It is the recommendation of the American Academy of Pediatrics that babies sleep in the same room as their parents, because it is thought to reduce the risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). Again, the size of the Moses basket facilitates rooming-in with your baby without sleeping in the same bed with your baby and without compromising much space in your room. Whether you are at home, work, play, or on the go, the Moses basket provides a snug environment for your new baby, and best of all, it gives you the opportunity to have your baby with you at all times.

CPSIA - The Consumer Product Safety Information Act was enacted in August 2008 after being signed into law by Then President George W. Bush. The act establishes safety requirements, guidelines and standards for products made for children. This act was also intended to modernize and re-authorize The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The CPSIA mandates that all products such as bedding made for Kids under 12 years old meets certain standards.

The importance of sleeping in style
What our kids sleep on is just as important as the actual sleep they get. Have you ever slept on a very rough, scratchy and uncomfortable bed and all you did was toss and turn the entire night? From a personal experience not enticing at all!
Our children deserve the best of everything. So why not give them the best sleep experience, a serene rest. Sounds simple, but it goes much further than that. Studies have shown that a wholesome good night’s sleep contributes to a much better day. You are more alert, focused and much more able to function during the day. As with adults this is just as important for our little ones.
Parents should in every way seek to uplift their children and aid in the development of their mind, body and soul. One way to do this is by providing an environment that is conducive for sleeping. With exciting, vibrant and vivid designs of kids bedding such, your kids view their bedroom as a haven in which they find comfort, and sleep is no longer a challenge.
Treat your children to this delightful pleasure. Though it may seem simple, the connections are real; a great sleeping environment equals an excellent rest which in turn equals kids who are alert, bright, playful and ready for the day that lies ahead. Huggy Kids Bedding facilitates just that
The difference between a comforter and duvet
We have recently added Olive Kids fabulous kids duvet covers to our inventory. I’ve received a few questions about the difference between a duvet and a comforter, so I will take a little time to address. The difference has often confounded many people, but there is quite a stark contrast between the two.
A comforter is a blanket that is usually thick and fluffy and made with layers of fabric. It is often colorfully adorned with patterns and usually dyed, not made with embroidery like like a quilt. It is usually filled with synthetic fiber. It “acts” as a bedspread and does not need a cover. It’s usually washed when dirty much like normal bed sheets.
A Duvet (french for “down”), on the other hand, is simply a cloth bag filled with down feathers and down. In the States a “duvet cover,” which is the correct term to use, is called a “duvet”, while in Europe and Canada a down comforter is often called a duvet.
A duvet cover is a protective, usually decorative cover that slips over the down comforter/duvet. It can be said that it is a pillowcase that acts like a blanket. Duvets can be wonderful when the quality is good, very warm when needed, but not exceedingly so.
For final clarification; the main difference between the these closely related bed clothing is that a duvet has a cover with down inside that is placed inside a more decorative cover. The idea behind this is that you remove the outer shell and wash that alone. The duvet often replaces flat bed sheet so you only need the fitted sheet. The inner part of the duvet is rarely washed. A comforter, on the other hand is just one piece that cleaned by itself. Some comforters are usually to large to fit a domestic washer and often taken out for cleaning.
Quality is usually the deciding factor about which is more comfortable. It also depends on how warm you need be. Most comforters are made of synthetic fillers but some are made of down. Down breathes, much better and synthetic materials are know to make you sweaty. However, some people are allergic to feathers and will have to settle with the synthetic fills, which can have varying degrees of comfort depending on the kind of materials used.

Oh My Safari
Is it any wonder that some of the most successful kids movies ever created featured wild animals. Kids love animals, Teddy Bears have been a long favorite of kids.

They sometimes scream with delight with upon seeing pictures or videos of Lions, Tigers, Giraffes and other jungle friends,they just adore safari animals.
The zoo is among the all time favorite places that children wants to visit. I’ve always wondered what the reason might be for little children’s fascination with animals. My suspicion is that kids think they are cute, they look like toys, something that would make a great playmates.

Why Kids Love Dinosaurs
Odds Bodkin, in pretty nice article at the Family Fun Education Website tries to take you into the mind of a child when he stated that.
...“Dinosaurs tower above our small imaginations, knocking down trees and sniffing their young with roaring nostrils. And if you’re a child, you can imagine yourself in their world, cowering under bushes and praying they don’t see you…”
Although I concur with his position completely, my theory is a bit more simplistic;They are just downright big and cute.
Enter our Dinosaurland kids bedding line. I particularly like the design of the Huggers. They fit trundle beds, bunk beds, captain’s or beds with footbaords.
In addtion, they allow kids to easy make thier beds. The seam at the foot may have a little variation, but that’s fine with me.
The coloful footprints, marching dinosaurs and the colorful prehistoric backdrop makes this hugger downright stunning.

Kids bedding for you…little hero..

What a neat and fun way to bring these larger than life figures into a kids bedroom. Kids adore their heroes. if you are a mommy or a daddy, this does not need any explanation, you know exactly what I'm talking about, in their eyes you are larger than life.
I'm certain that your little boy will enjoy the company of heroes. Don't forget to take a look at the heroes framed art prints on the Boys Bedding Design page. I really like the colorful little chopper and the big red fire engine. Seriously, I caught myself unconsciously staring at the cute little helicopter and the fire truck, just today. For a minute there, I realized that the little child in me did not fully go away. Inside I felt a little bit embarrassed by this. For that moment, however, it evoked feelings of nostalgia inside of me. I felt like a little boy. You see, I grew up in a very poor country and having that kind of beauty and positive, iconic images of influence in my surroundings was all but impossible. I never even had a room for myself, I shared one bedroom with my 4 sisters and brother. Still, I dreamt of being a hero day and night. I was able to envision myself as the hero saving the world time and time again. I grew up with that dream.
That dream lead me to become a policeman at the age of 18 in my little third world country. My country, being a low power distant country; as described by Malcolm Gladwell in his book &mdasn; "The Outliers," — did not make me feel like much of an hero. As a matter of fact, I was made to feel like a villain plenty of times. So, you can understand why heroes hold a special place in my heart. As soon as I snapped of my ten 10 second stupor, it dawned on me why I like this bedding set so much.
I kind of wondered what it would have felt like as a little boy being having one of these prints on my wall. I can imagine just staring at it for sustained periods. I had so very little influences in terms of these adorable and iconic representations of my heroes. Maybe if I had that pretty little helicopter art print hung on my wall, to admire, it might have lead me to become a pilot instead of a cop — who knows. I wish I could be a kid again, not only for that reason but because I'm getting old too. Jokes aside, the heroes bedding collection is one of my favorites. I truly and sincerely love it and you can see why

Outline Quilting – This means that t the stitching on the comforter follows around actual items in the design. Stitching follows around trucks and planes and trains! Outline stitching makes the vehicles "pop" off the comforter. We have no doubt that you will agree with us that this looks pretty awesome.
