Toddler and Baby Nursery
Baby number two will arrive any day now. Both my children will share the nursery, so it needs to be appealing to a toddler and functional for a baby.
The nursery was left pretty bare to have room to grow and add my new baby’s and growing toddler’s interests as they develop.
I placed most of the decor down low, where my toddler and baby can best see it. It’s not a typical matchy-matchy nursery, but it is full of elements children of all ages enjoy:
- Primary colors
- Animals
- Easily accessible toy bins
- Board books
- Toys for mouthing
Statement Piece
I began decorating the kids’s nursery with a colorful and washable animal rug.
Homemade Art
My toddler enjoys chasing after the animals and bugs that visit our garden. So, I painted him a series of our garden’s critters for the nursery: California Scrub-jay, ladybug and swallowtail butterfly.
The colors of these paintings, coordinate well with toddler’s watercolor Paw Patrol bedding.
Salvadoran Flare
Baby’s bedding is colorful Salvadoran folk art print. Before baby was even in the works, I ordered custom fabric printed with beautiful Salvadoran folk art just in case I ever had a girl. *Fabric source: Spoonflower.
Now, pregnant with baby girl, I used the fabric to decorate her mobile: I took apart, my son’s narwhal mobile (you can see his Coastal Baby Nursery here) and reupholstered it with my new fabric.
I couldn’t resist getting baby this adorable Virgen de Guadalupe Linzy doll!
The kids share a large seven-drawer dresser. A Joolbaby changing pad, converts the kids’ dresser into a changing table. It is large enough to accommodate a growing baby and is wipeable/ washable.
Of course the diaper area has toys in preparation for when my new baby grows wiggly!
Sincerely,
Laura
