It should come as no surprise that new parents will do whatever they can to keep their baby happy,healthy, and on the road to success. One way to do this is to create an inviting environment in theirnursery. It doesn’t have to be a headache, and it doesn’t need to look like everyone else’s room. Withthe use of alphabet pictures the options are endless for creativity.

Things to Consider For a Creative Mind

Letter art, numbers, and shapes placed in a creative way around the room can start teaching the babyearly on. Their minds might be fuzzy at first but the repetition of seeing the same thing every morningwill begin to stick in their mind. This is similar to the repetition of a parent saying ‘dada’ or ‘mama’ overand over.

Placing pictures of loved ones on the walls in a baby’s room is also a great way for a baby to becomeclose to this person. It is a familiar face, someone for them to wake up to. So when they haven’t seengrandma in several weeks and she comes to pick them up they will still know that face.

Neutral colors on the walls offer the baby the most solace when in their crib. The bedroom needs to beinviting and a vital place for the baby to learn. Decking it out in wild safari print or intense princesstheme can cause a distraction. A mature neutral color also grows with the baby.

From birth to three is one of the most vital times for a baby to learn. Having creative alphabet photoscan guide your baby to better know his or her letters. The more they see something, the more theyremember. To wake up to words that say ‘I love baby!’ over their bed is a great introduction.

Letter photography art captures a young child’s attention. Kids like to see real pictures, not justdrawings. A baby is more likely to look through a book with photos of other babies then one withillustrations. Personalized letter pictures are a subtle way of engraining learning into a baby’s mind.

With photography letters you can create a truly unique version of your child’s name to hang in theirnursery. Having a letter name in their room helps them recognize it in other places. Other importantunique wall art words you want your children to wrap around themselves such as love, dream, andbelieve are wonderful additions to the room.

A nursery is a mind-boggling task for all parents, new and old. It is a room that the new arrival rests in,plays in, and learns in.

Make sure the room is filled with laughter!

Other Tips to Consider When Designing a Baby’s Room:

· Dark Window Shades/Black Out Curtains, it helps the baby sleep longer!

· Use a dresser for a changing station

· Ditch the Mobile, newborns can’t see it, and the spinning distracts older babies from sleeping.

· A futon or guest bed in the room is very helpful for new mommies trying to catch some extra winks!

· A reading area is always good to have to introduce the little one to the excitement of books.

· Night lights/Low lights are more for your benefit then the baby. The baby is not afraid of the dark.
