Jungle Kingdom Nursery Theme

I wanted something unique for my baby girl's jungle kingdom nursery theme and also knew that I wanted to use reasonably priced decorations. I used a combination of complementary colors and decorative items and you can see from the pictures that everything came together beautifully.

I made my baby girl's bright red crib bedding myself using fabric that I found for the cheap price of just a dollar yard at my favorite, local discount store,Walmart. I made the entire set for a cost less than ten bucks.

Perhaps the most unique of all the jungle nursery decorations that I bought is a large, green canopy leaf to position over the crib that I found at Ikea. The leaf added a lot to the tropical rainforest feel of the baby's jungle kingdom nursery theme and it only cost twenty bucks!

The butterflies decorating the wall behind the crib came as a set in a packet of butterflies from Target that cost two bucks. So, the bedding, the crib canopy and the butterfly wall decorations combined cost me $32.

Once I had the basics of the baby's bed in place, I gathered the toys I had bought for my daughter and arranged some in the crib. I plan to change the toys out on a regular basis because children of all ages get bored with the same old toys and rotating them will give my baby girl something new to look while safely sheltered under the leaf canopy in her jungle kingdom nursery theme.
