Parents prepare their kid’s room while the baby still has a month to come to the world. It is never too early to plan, prepare and make their dream come true for your child.
1. Toddler Boy Room Ideas
Here we talk about toddler room ideas for boys first
a) Fancy up the night lamp:
- A boy child fancies more of the sporty things than pretty and skinny dolls really. They would love the superheroes and be inspired looking at them. For example, a Superman or a Spider-man. It is okay to NOT tell your child that these are fictional characters. Let them enjoy their childhood thinking Superman will show up one day. Few more good night lamp ideas would be to have a source of light in a car or an animal.
- Fancy up your boy’s room with different superheros night lamp. You can easily see them available at IKEA or any other home decor stores.
- A very fancy and a cheaper idea is to make one with a cardboard or ice cream sticks or even compressed wood at home. You can give it the shape of a rocket, robot or a man and insert a little lamp in the structure to make it as a night lamp. Stick it on the wall or keep it on the side of a table. It will always make him happy when lit.
b) Clock it up
- It is recommended to have a clock in a kid’s room. If he learns to read the time early in his life, well, he might turn to be punctual in no time!
- Kids fancy reading the clock and that is one good way to add some fun to it to learn some more.
- Look at that, can you imagine if the kid walks to you and says it is “Asian – North American time”. Would you in the world guess what the exact time is? But the kid knows it. And exactly knows what is to the east and what is to the west of his place.
- This is one brilliant idea to learn about the geography. And, this is a perfect visual way to attempt to learn the world map and its famous animals or places to visit etc. You could take a simple clock, open up the top cover and remove the hands of a clock. Just print a colored map and paste it for him on the clock. Replace the hand and it works perfectly! A homemade simple clock is ready for your kid to learn and bloom.
- Give him dreams of traveling to different places when he grows old and has enough money, inspire him to see all parts of the world. Let him pick and select his favorite places too.
- Another brilliant idea to have a mathematical clock for the kid to memorize the tables.
Simply make it with a cardboard and color pens. For grown-ups, you can have formulas to represent the numbers on a clock. Pretty customized and educative clock ideas for your boy!
c) Puzzled tents
- We hear parents asking if puzzles make a kid brainier. Yes, indeed, it puts their noodles to work and keeps them busy. Again a very innovative idea where your kid has enough fun playing. You can make it if you do not find it in the stores.
- Take a simple cardboard and make it in an igloo shape or a simple square or a triangle shape. If you fancy, paint it with a bright color inside and outside. Have a big opening for the kid to get in and close rest of the ends.
- From the top surface, try to use a sharp paper cutter and cut out some different interesting shapes (small enough to allow your kid to hold it comfortably – about 2 inches) like stars, circles, squares etc. Keep the cuts clean and secure the cut pieces out of the cardboard in a bowl or a box for your kid. Cut out these shapes from the top of the tent and leave the sides as is.
- Hand over the bowl to your boy and ask him to play inside by fixing those shapes back to the roof of the tent.
- Or, make a maze of the cardboard to let the kid enter from an end and get out from the other. Keep changing the path every few days for him to think more.
- The kid here learns to form a path in his mind and inquisitiveness to learn more.
d) Other Decor
- Having bunk beds in trend now, you could have fancy bed sheets for the little man. A superhero bed sheet or pillow with some good inspirational quotations.
- Utilize the roof of the room to make some art on it, could be constellations or space radium etc.
- Make a height measuring scale for him at some corner of the room and let him know that every few months we will mark his age and height. The more he grows the better he looks.
- Have a bookshelf on a wall or a wall cabinet which could have good magazines for the kids and kid novels lined up. Encourage him to read every day/ week.
- Make a place for all his art to be put on display by hanging a rope and fixing the painting with a wooden clip.
You can never get enough of a toddler boy room ideas really. 🙂
2.Toddler girl room ideas
Here we talk about some toddler room ideas for girls.
a) Fancy dustbin
- Sometimes to get your child the right habit, you need to get her attracted to the right thing. With girls, if you like something, you really do adore it forever. Use some fancy shape of dustbin for her, maybe a teddy shape with mouth open as the opening for the dustbin.
- Or a personalized one where you could take a plastic or a tin container and mask it up to look cute with little eyes and a smile.
- Tell her the more she feeds them the waste, they feel happy. A good way to teach her to keep her room clean as well.
b) Constellation curtains
- Visual ways are the best ways to teach a kid, however not everything needs to be learned, it could just be enjoyed too. You could just add some constellation curtains to her decor and let her dream out of this world.
- You can as well personalize it by taking a plain white curtain and drawing some constellation stars with a black fabric marker as shown in the picture.
- You could use this curtain for her room or even the bathroom.
c) Jumble up the alphabets
- A learning experience comes with fun combined if you have the alphabets printed on a wall for her along with a word drawn to name it. For example, you have A and then an apple is drawn beside to denote what A stands for.
- Add a drawing slate/ chalk-board to the decor for her to see it and learn/ write draw it along.
- Along with it on the sides of the wall, you could have a special area for her scribbles and drawings. Hang or stick it on the wall.
d) Make a Barbie tent for her
- Girls are crazy for dolls and barbies. Take one corner of the room and make a tent for her.
- Buy the ready-made lacy tent for her from the store or kids shops.
- Place all her dolls and stuff toys inside and make it her den!
- You can personalize it by using your own lace cloth to build a tent for her and few pictures of the family stuck on it.
e) Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?
- Place some very beautiful mirror for your princess in her room to be sure she knows how special she is every time she looks into it with a smile.
- Fancy it with dressing up material like baby powder and a comb which she will need to groom herself.
- Stick some photos of family around the mirror border saying – dad, mom, brother, uncle and then there could be an arrow saying “you” in the mirror or her name.
f) A Doll organizer?

g) Pile up the pillows

- Decorate her bed with pillows of different shapes, of flowers, cartoons.
- Make it cozy for her such that she sleeps like a princess and loves her bed.
h) Knows the knob
- Fancy up the door of her room with some cute animal shaped knobs.
- This lets her know exactly which is her room and also has fun closing opening the door.
- Just for precaution sake, dismantle the locking system in it so that the baby does not lock herself in there.
