Babies spend lots of time looking up, so think of the ceiling as a big, blank canvas. You could paint it, but if you're no Michelangelo, try hanging colorful accessories. For inspiration, take a look at the wide variety of mobiles available.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Colorful kites and fabric balloons
- Go celestial with the sun, moon and stars
- Airplanes
- Bright butterflies, birds, bees and ladybugs
- Let magical fairies dance from colorful ribbons
- Circus animals, clowns and acrobats flying through the air
- Scenes from nursery rhymes and fairy tales (e.g. the cow jumping over the moon)
- Dangle simple shapes in bold, contrasting colors and patterns
- Drape fabric through rings and let it billow from above
These ideas will have you reaching for a ladder, so if you're pregnant, delegate this project to someone else. (You can supervise from the ground.) Your local home improvement store can recommend hardware and hanging materials to keep your creation safely suspended. Just make sure all decorations are well out of baby's reach. |
