An arctic nursery theme can be a cool haven where you can escape from summer’s heat or show some respect for the inhabitants who call that icy region up north home. Personally, I believe that an artic themed room can be an excellent teaching tool to educate kids as to what’s going on up there with our chilly friends.
Here are some arctic animals that you can as decorations in your arctic decorating project. I love the mama and baby penguin, don't you?:
There are so many reasons that an older kid's bedroom or an artic nursery theme would be so….well, cool! Penguins are cute as can be and are making their grand debut as celebrities in some of the blockbuster hit films of the season. I can’t wait to see some of these artic ladies and gentlemen making their walk down the red carpet with the other famous movie stars.
Who would have ever thought that penguin gifts would be seen at the baby's shower? Penguins and their natural black and white color scheme are perfect for a baby’s arctic nursery theme. So let’s see exactly what elements of the artic world that we would want to include in our arctic style bedroom accessories and fabric prints. This may be difficult to believe, but there are so many artic animals that when you are designing an artic nursery theme, that you are going to have to pick and choose your favorite characters from the land of ice and snow and focus on them.
Here are a few options to explore for your arctic nursery theme :
ESKIMOS
The Eskimos and their lifestyle would make an excellent nursery wall mural or background for your arctic nursery theme. Pictures of little Eskimo babies that are dressed in boots and baby clothes made of seal skin and fur trimmed parkas out playing on the ice would fill in your icy arctic nursery theme very well.
Babies love to see pictures of other babies and this is a great way to introduce your child to children of other cultures. Paintings of igloos will be excellent conversation starters that will give you an excellent opportunity to discuss architecture, cultures in other lands as well as why we should adapt green lifestyles.
PENGUINS
Penguins in their tiny, dignified tuxedos are excellent candidates for the stars of your arctic nursery theme. There are some really cute baby comforters and crib bedding sets in the stores with penguin print fabrics that will stand out in your baby room decor. I can see any number of these cute sets used in an artic themed nursery for boys or girls. Paint or buy a black baby crib, throw in some decorative penguin gift items and you will have a creative nursery design that’s as elegant and formal as a penguin’s tux.
POLAR BEARS
Polar bears in the wild are not an animal that you would want to bump into when you’re out hiking or camping with your baby, but you have to admit they are magnificent creatures and fit right into an artic nursery theme. Polar bear themed decorations are easy to find and will really bring the illusion of brightness into a nursery otherwise lacking in natural light.
BABY SEALS
BABY WHALES
SNOWFLAKES
DOG SLEDDING
ICE SKATING
What a diverse and eclectic way to decorate a baby’s bedroom! To get the specific style of decor that you want, you may have to pick up some fleece or cotton baby bedding fabric and make your own duvet cover or arctic crib comforter and nursery window treatments.
