We have so many forest friends nursery ideas for nature lovers that want to surround their baby with woodland creatures and all the peace and glory of the great outdoors. Hunters seem to enjoy an animal print nursery theme that features whitetail deer, ducks or other animals that support their favorite hobby of hunting wild game

A forest theme room for kids or a nursery for baby usually reflects the favorite species or hobby of the parent. Themes based on the rainforest and African jungles are common.
