Baby's Nursery
Choosing a nursery rhyme theme for baby's room is a popular option. With so many nursery rhymes to choose from, the hardest decision you'll have is focusing on a particular character. Sometimes it's easiest to select the bedding first, and then decorate the rest of the nursery from there. Popular nursery rhyme themes include the following:
- Humpty Dumpty
- Cow Jumped Over the Moon
- Princess and the Pea
- Mary Had a Little Lamb
- Hickory Dickory Dock
- Hey Diddle Diddle
- Little Boy Blue
You can also find adorable bedding for your baby that features a variety of Mother Goose characters. Don’t forget to look for special accessories to accentuate your child's room. Hand-painted armoires and baby beds can feature nursery rhyme characters. Murals can be painted on the walls of your baby's nursery. You can commission someone to paint these, or you can use an overhead projector to project the image on the wall and paint them yourself.
Birthday Parties
Looking for that perfect birthday party idea? Why not start with a nursery rhyme theme? This works really well for your baby's first or second birthday party. You can order a cake and decorations to focus on the nursery rhyme theme. There are even nursery rhyme games that you can play with your child and her party guests.
Costumes
Need a great costume for your baby to wear? Nursery rhyme themes make perfect costumes for little ones. You can go all out and order costumes at stores, like Buy Costumes and Just Kid Costumes, or you can make your own. Nursery rhyme themed characters are easy to create.
- Little Boy Blue-Dress your little boy in blue overalls, add a straw hat, and give him a small toy bugle.
- Little Miss Muffet-Dress your baby girl in a dress, and attach a stuffed spider to the hem.
- Mary Had a Little Lamb-This outfit is easy to make. Let your little girl wear one of her church dresses, and have her hold a small, stuffed lamb. A bonnet or a straw hat will look adorable as well.
- The Cat in the Fiddle-Start with a solid color sweat suit, and make cat ears by adding felt ears to a headband. Add a tail made of felt, draw a few whiskers on his or her face, and let your child hold a toy fiddle.
