Cradles And Cribs: Decorating Ideas For Nursery Room

Posted on May 8, 2012 by admin

If you are expecting a baby then you realize that the nursery room is a very special place. Mom and dad want the room’s decor to look perfect in every way. Your precious bundle will be resting and sleeping a lot when you bring her or him home from the hospital. Creating an eye-catching, attractive nursery should be a rewarding and pleasant experience. After all it has to be beautiful and well thought ought with decorating ideas that will surely please any infant and possibly transition to their toddler years. Decorating the nursery and transforming a bedroom into a baby’s room is easy with proper planning.

One of the best ways to start the process is by looking through magazines, browsing stores or visiting online shops that specialize in infant products. Keeping a list of things that you know are a necessity and things that you would like to have. Consideration needs to be given to the size of the room and if you are limited on space. Functionality goes along way when space is a premium. Deciding what pieces are essential and which ones are not.

When it comes to the baby cradles, there are many options and styles from traditional styled baby cribs to round ones. Furniture manufacturers have lines of cribs that are easily converted into toddler beds so you can use children’s furniture for a longer period of time. The cradle mattress is used on the toddler bed too. That is one cost saving measure worth consideration. The manufacturers have been undergoing major design changes with regards to safety issues. It is a good idea to never purchase one from a yard sale or from anyone unless you know for sure it is safe. You have to make sure it has not been part of any recalls. If you have any doubts you can easily call the manufacturer and find out.

Think about a changing table and if you would benefit from one. Many say the changing table saves the back. Several styles of changing tables are designed to look like a dresser with built in storage drawers. The top of the changing table becomes a chest top by simply removing the changing pad converting it very easily when you no longer use it. If you purchase a changing table make sure you look for rounded edges and safety belts. Never leave an infant, newborn or a child alone on top of the changing table.

More ways to save! Newborn items are only used for a short period of time. Think about friends or family members and if they have products that you might be able to use. Are you a seamstress or have a family member who sews? Are you creative, crafty and talented? If so this will save you money on several projects. By doing it yourself you can create a one of a kind nursery made special by mom or designed by mom. Shop thrift stores for recycled lamps, chairs, toy boxes, or rocking chairs that you can refinish, recover or paint.

Newborn bedding with matching accessories will be a tough choice because there are literally hundreds of fabrics and designs to choose from. You can have a crib bedding set custom made to your specifications or you can buy a 3 piece or 4 piece set. Research suggests that bumper pads should not be used in a crib. You will want to research the reasons for this, pros and cons so you can make an educated decision. New to the market are crib guard rail coverings made in fabric with ½” poly foam. They are made to go over the top rails with fabric tie on straps.

The leading bedding manufacturers have created dreamy rooms with all sorts of accessories to complete the look of the nursery. Many offer coordinated items in matching fabrics such as curtains, lamp shades, diaper stackers, toy caddy’s (these attach to the outside rail supports), baby Moses baskets, hampers and so much more.

Browse our online store for great discounts for baby crib bedding, baby Moses baskets and other decorative accessories for nursery room.

How Outdoor Swing Sets Help Develop Gross Motor Skills

Posted on April 3, 2012 by admin

Ok, so you want to be on familiar terms with your children. Yes, exactly what does that mean? Who knows, right? What you do know is this: you want the best for your children and that means buying toys and games with educational value. Educational toys and playthings that foster their growth and develop motor skills as well as teach are easier to find that you might think.
Exactly what is the definition of motor skills for a child? That’s a question that is asked a lot and the answer is easy. It is simply an action that involves your child’s using his/her muscles. Gross motor skills are larger movements with arms, legs, feet, or his entire body. So climbing, crawling, running, and jumping are gross motor skills. Fine motor skills are smaller actions. For example; using a rope ladder or rock wall involve climbing with your hands, feet and legs just like swinging on a swing. Both activities involve larger muscle use but in different ways that are actually fun for kids.
Keeping children happy and active is not as easy task. In fact many will state it is a hard challenge to keep them entertained while keeping boredom away. With that being said, research and studies have shown that play offers incredible value to a child’s well-being. They can have fun and develop new skills all at the same time.
One of the best things that offer immediate results is playing on an outdoor swing set. Kids love to swing and slide as they play outside. Watching them play and seeing how cheerful and energetic they are says one thing “active kids are happy kids”, they tend to be in high spirits most of the time. After all, you want to keep little ones busy and healthy with lots and lots of laughter along the way.
The benefits of owning a backyard swing set are many. Playing is exercise so the benefits from physical activity are fantastic for children of all ages. Building upper and lower body strength, keeping fit are just a few of the benefits you will realize. Balance and coordination go hand in hand. Watch a child use their leg muscles as they are swinging back and forth. Observe them scaling the rock wall, climbing a rope ladder or climbing ramp and see how much upper body strength they need. These activities promote balance and coordination which builds confidence. Kids also boost their physical range of motion. Activities should include movement, any kind of movement is good for their muscles and who says exercise isn’t fun.
The benefits of playing on a swing set are numerous. Kids learn communication, cognitive, sensory and physical skills. You often hear that wooden swing set or metal swing set are like magnets attracting the whole neighborhood. The reason is the “visual appearance”, and “visual attention”, and children immediately want to play on them. Patience, waiting for a turn and teamwork are skills that will be developed from this type of play.
Inspired play is an added benefit; nothing can stop a great imagination along with creative play. That is what swing sets are all about. Getting a healthy dose of fresh air has never been easier. While it might be just what your child needs; this prescription for fun goes along way. Dreaming up different ways to climb or pretending your on a space ship just makes it more exciting; especially with friends or siblings.
Parents frequently buy or look for trendy toys and question, “Is this toy suitable for my child?” Take some time to research and understand the features and benefits of gorilla swing sets, metal swing sets, wood swing sets and you will realize just how fantastic they are.
