TRADITIONAL
|
Celebrity moms are choosing nursery rhyme themes for their babies as well as your everyday mom that wants classic decor for their baby. Storybooks filled with beautifully illustrated children’s nursery rhymes have always been big hits. Now these classic tales are being adapted and used as baby nursery themes. The motifs from the more popular stories are being used as decorations for baby’s nursery.
NURSERY RHYME THEMES for BOYS and GIRLS
There are many baby crib bedding collections with motifs taken right off the pages of a Mother Goose book. Little Boy Blue and his horn make excellent decorations for a for a baby boy’s nursery theme and Little Miss Muffet makes a pretty picture with her curds and whey. Whether or not you want to include spiders is entirely up to you.
I can picture a pretty toddler size table and chairs in the corner of a baby girl's nursery with one spider hanging by a silk thread from the ceiling above a prettily upholstered tuffet far out of baby’s reach. But, unless I was working to create an illustrative tableau of the Mother Goose tale I believe that you should avoid fuzzy, black arachnids being used as nursery decorations. Save the entomology lessons for later in your baby’s life. I love having a giggle from a round of playing Itsy Bitsy Spider with my baby, but I don’t see decorating with spiders as very appealing other than at Halloween.
TRADITIONAL NURSERY RHYME THEMES for TWINS
If you are in search of unique baby nursery themes for a set of fraternal twins that includes an infant boy and girl, I would like to suggest decorating with elements taken from the Jack and Jill nursery rhyme. I can imagine a pretty painted nursery wall mural with a pretty flower covered wishing well at the top of the hill as well as Jack and Jill making their tumble down the hill with the ill fated pail of water.
TRADITIONAL NURSERY RHYME THEMES for a UNISEX or GENDER NEUTRAL BABY NURSERY
There are lots of gender neutral nursery themes that can be based on nursery rhymes. Hey Diddle Diddle nursery rhyme baby bedding sets, fabrics and mobiles are easy to find and can be used as part of Hey Diddle Diddle or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star nurseries.
Cute kitty cats playing fiddles, black and white spotted jersey cows and twinkling moons and stars are not exclusive to any particular sex or gender and the cute animals will be fascinating to a baby who is just being introduced to the world of Mother Goose.
Using decorations from the pages of traditional children's nursery rhymes will do wonders to reinforce the lessons taught in the bedtime stories. A wishing well that looks like the one where Jack and Jill got their water would be cute in the corner of the nursery and can be used as storage for toys. A stone wall painted on the wall with a cracked egg on the ground will illustrate why playing on the wall is not a good idea for children and why to do so was not one of Humpty Dumpty’s better ideas.
