Your child has been sleeping in the crib beside your bed for two years now. By day, the child plays in a tiny little spot in the living room. And if you\u2019re in the kitchen, your baby would be napping in the pram, or sitting up in a baby chair. Around the end of the 24th month, your baby would seem too big for the baby crib. An active child might try to climb out of it, and that might\u2019ve scared you once or twice! Your baby\u2019s toys are everywhere, tiny little clothes overflow from your drawers, and you truly feel that your baby needs more space. Babies quickly grow into toddlers with very different needs. And also very different safety requirements. Here are 10 toddler room essentials that your child’s bedroom needs. Read more to find out how to create a wonderful space for your child!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Yes, they do. As soon as your baby feels the crib and the playpen are too small, then they definitely need their own room.<\/p>\n
Toddlers\u2019 needs are quite different from one year to the next. Here are the essentials of their bedrooms starting from two years of age, then as they develop into curious three year-olds, all the way to when they are school-ready four year-olds.<\/p>\n
A two-year-old is still fully dependent on you, the parent, for most of its livelihood. They still can\u2019t dress themselves up, feed themselves, or go to the toilet. It\u2019s too early for all that.<\/p>\n
The furniture in the baby\u2019s room would reflect that. And as you spend a lot of time and your effort in the nursery, you should consider your own needs as well. For example, place an armchair or a chaise lounge in the room.<\/p>\n
You\u2019d need to use plenty of grooming products, nappies, and clothing items for your child. Pick a storage cabinet that would be comfortable for you. No need t bend your back over a low-down drawer cabinet.<\/p>\n
As for your baby\u2019s needs, here are some of the basics.<\/p>\n
The baby bed for a two-year-old should mainly be safe. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to have guards in it. It\u2019s also essential that the corners should be rounded to avoid injury.<\/p>\n
The MEBLEX toddler bed<\/a> has all that, in addition to a thick foam mattress, and large storage space. The bed comes in a wide variety of colours to suit every taste.<\/p>\n The STUVA\/FRITIDS changing table<\/a> from IKEA looks amazing. But it has far more than good looks. This highly functional changing table can grow with your child. When the time comes, you can easily repurpose it into a desk! The only thing you\u2019d need to add is a chair.<\/p>\n A colourful grooming set with animated drawings should be the perfect addition to two-year-old essentials.<\/p>\n The Yellodoor baby grooming kit<\/a><\/strong> is the cutest little set for your baby\u2019s good looks. It has 17 pieces that fit both boys and girls. There\u2019s a manicure set, a brush, a comb, and little scissors. In addition to a thermometer, some practical gadgets, and even a finger puppet. What more do you need in a basic, no-worries kit de soins pour b\u00e9b\u00e9<\/strong><\/a>?<\/p>\n Kids love to load and unload objects. They also enjoy moving their things from place to place. The FLISAT toy storage unit<\/a> from IKEA has the right combination of small size, lightweight, and wheels to pull this off.<\/p>\n A two-year-old might need a bit of help with towing this box, but as they grow a bit more, it would be tons of fun.<\/p>\n A three-year-old is more mobile, more skilled, and has a ton of toys! A new larger bed and plenty of storage space are the basic needs for this age group.<\/p>\n Here are the toddler room essentials for your 3 year old.<\/p>\n Your baby has newly graduated from a crib, so let\u2019s try to make sure the transfer to a real bed is a smooth one.<\/p>\n Buying a bed with guards is an extra measure to make your child feel safe. It\u2019ll also make you feel better, knowing that there are a few supports to keep your child from rolling off the bed.<\/p>\n The Kinder valley bed<\/a> has the right shape and size. In addition, it comes with a matching mattress, a printed sheet that fits around the mattress, a pillow, and a lovely little duvet. The bed is pristine white, so you can play with the colour of the bedding. This automatically changes the mood of the room!<\/p>\n Leaders are readers. So even at the tender age of two or three, your child would benefit a lot from having a variety of books.<\/p>\n A three-year-old is still tiny and short, so the best bookcase would be one that matches the size and height of your child. The Labebe child bookcase<\/a> is perfect for that. It\u2019s double-sided, easy-to-clean, and made from safe materials.<\/p>\n An organized room is much more comfortable for your child, and for you as well. The best way to keep the room in good order is to provide storage spaces for your child\u2019s toys.<\/p>\n The simpler the better, and if your child can throw all the toys in one container even better. You do realize how cranky kids can be at the end of the day! The KidKraft toy box<\/a> is an amazing storage chest. The best part is that its top can easily work as a table.<\/p>\n At this point, maybe you have another child, so this could be the playroom for two children. Or, your child would have friends coming over for play dates.<\/p>\n Your child is now much more independent and self-aware. The decoration, toys, and available space should reflect that. Storage, shelves, and clothes cabinets should all be accessible to your child. The newly found autonomy requires that!<\/p>\n A four-year-old is also notorious for getting into trouble. Make sure to child-proof the bedroom a bit more to go with the new range of motion.<\/p>\n Here are some toddler room essentials for your 4 year old child\u2019s room.<\/p>\n Storage is king for children of four years and up. Having a bed that contains extra room \u2018to put stuff in\u2019 is the way to go. At this point, your child would want to classify and organize all the toys into different categories. Maybe according to preference?<\/p>\n The ACMA bed<\/a> is spacious, has protective guards, comes in a ton of different designs, and has the extra drawers!<\/p>\n A large storage bench that could also do double duty as a two sitter or a bed is ideal. The Tetbury storage bench<\/a> seems to be the perfect piece here.<\/p>\n You can let your child explore her creativity with the FLISAT bench<\/a> from IKEA. It could also save the walls from plenty of crayon doodling.<\/p>\n (Speaking of IKEA, check out our post on IKEA toy storage hacks<\/strong><\/a>!)<\/p>\n A four-year-old has school around the corner and probably has already started kindergarten. A desk is a developmental piece that needs to be added at that point.<\/p>\n The Hartleys kids\u2019 desk<\/a> is the best fit for boys or girls. It would go perfectly with the HGTRD office chair<\/a>. The best part is that this set can carry through a good part of your child\u2019s teen years.<\/p>\n As a checklist to what you need to include in your shopping list, here\u2019s a round up of what you need to include in your toddler\u2019s room.<\/p>\n This is pretty much what every toddler needs.<\/p>\n Children develop their taste in art from a very early age. By the time they celebrate their eighth birthday, their music, colour, and style preferences are almost set. That\u2019s why planning your toddler\u2019s bedroom decoration should take some care and attention.<\/p>\n Your child\u2019s tendencies in colours and shapes could be noticeable from toys, books, and clothes preferences. If there\u2019s a certain cartoon theme they particularly like, then that\u2019s a good clue. But before going all thematic in your kid\u2019s room, remember that kids grow. Quite quickly as a matter of fact.<\/p>\n The decorations in your child\u2019s room should inspire joy and happiness. The designs should also inspire creativity and exploration.<\/p>\n A few posters with basic shapes, colours, animals, marine life illustrations, and space, could be a good addition. They could be changed easily at any phase as your child grows past the years of fascination.<\/p>\n Carpets and curtains add colourful touches, as well as serve important functions. They regulate the light and heat inside the room. Moreover, thick carpeting can absorb excessive noises. Just bear in mind the cleaning requirements of the fabric before you make a purchase.<\/p>\n A few creative ideas and the right kind of furniture could turn your toddler\u2019s room into a little paradise<\/a>.<\/p>\n Making any room cosy starts with proper lighting. Include the main lighting unit at the centre of the ceiling, plus a couple of side-lights. Make sure that the room gets plenty of sunlight during the day, and filter it with suitable curtains.<\/p>\n The colour of the walls should be bright and warm. Even if you pick a cool colour, try to pick a vivacious design to complement it. The whole colour scheme of the room should be matching. That is, the walls should play nicely with the furniture, the carpets, the curtains, and the lighting units.<\/p>\n Kids need plenty of clear space to play and get creative. As you lay out the furniture, make sure that there\u2019s enough room for free play. Also, try to place a large central toy. A tent <\/a>or a doll\u2019s house<\/a> should be great additions to the list of toddler room essentials.<\/p>\n Nothing says cosy like the perfect room temperature! Check using a baby bath and room thermometer<\/strong><\/a> to make sure it’s comfortable in their room, always.<\/p>\n You can never have too much storage in a toddler\u2019s room. Make sure it\u2019s varied in size, shape, purpose, and placement. This helps tremendously in the organization.<\/p>\n Clothes are better off folded and placed neatly in drawers. This would make it easier for your child to dress up, or put the clothes away. Cabinets are good too, but most parents find drawer units much more practical.<\/p>\n Children like to climb on everything. So try as much as you can to use units that aren\u2019t too high from the ground. Also, any unit you put in your baby\u2019s room should be fixed to the wall. That\u2019s to avoid the possibility of it falling on top of the child.<\/p>\n A toddler\u2019s bedroom should be safe, functional, and cosy. It should fit your child\u2019s personality, and inspire joy, creativity, and fun.<\/p>\n Toddlers spend a lot of time in their room. It\u2019s best to make it as interesting and cheery as possible. You also need to have relative peace of mind when your toddler is playing or sleeping alone in the new room. Child-proofing your toddler\u2019s room<\/a> is certainly worth the effort.<\/p>\n (Check out our post on baby proofing windows<\/strong><\/a> and other tips for child safety.)<\/p>\n If you\u2019re converting a nursery to a toddler\u2019s room<\/a>, you don\u2019t need to do a complete overhaul. Here are some ideas to consider.<\/p>\n Here are some suggestions for creating a toddler\u2019s room out of any available space in the house. Get creative, and plan it well.<\/p>\n Planning a toddler\u2019s room might seem like an overwhelming undertaking. But it\u2019s as fun as they get. You could put the whole project together in a week, or take this slow, and build it up piece by piece. Totally up to you.<\/p>\n Children get really attached to their rooms. They become territorial, and that space in time becomes their \u2018happy place\u2019. Parents also can feel a sense of serenity in their kids\u2019 room that is unique to that little spot in the whole house.<\/p>\n That was our comprehensive list of the 10 toddler room essentials every child’s bedroom needs. Hopefully, it inspired you with some creative ideas.<\/p>\n Speaking of essentials, don’t forget to be prepared with a kit essentiel pour b\u00e9b\u00e9<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n Planning a toddler\u2019s room might seem overwhelming.
