Zoo Themed Furniture For Kid's Rooms

All children love animals. When they go to the zoo, their eyes widen with excitement, their little hands reaching out to touch their favorite “friends”. Even the youngest of toddlers can identify a giraffe, an elephant, a ferocious tiger, and they’ll recite their names and sing along to their favorite animal song.

But you don’t need to go to the zoo for them to be surrounded by their animal friends. Try decorating their room with zoo themed furniture. Who can resist gaily-painted beds, emblazoned with prancing zebras and lions, and a giraffe keeping watch?

You can find matching Rocking Chairs—perfect for reading a book on their favorite animals. They’re perfectly child safe, with no risk that they’ll topple over while vigorously swinging. And they’re very useful for calming down a hyper little child who’d rather be climbing and running outdoors than taking a nap. (Sometimes, our days may feel like a zoo!)

You can also find zoo themed Table and Chair Sets, made at the perfect height so that they don’t slouch while they draw or do their homework. Adult furniture is simply too high for them—they develop back pains and poor posture from trying to use them—and you have to admit, they don’t look half as cute as the ones with monkeys and hippos stenciled on the sides.

Zoo themed furniture makes it simple for the busiest and most artistically challenged moms to create an animal tableau in their own home. You just choose, make the order, and it’s delivered. Presto, you have a bedroom or playroom that looks like it’s been professionally done. But there are other ways of adding your own unique touches to a zoo-themed room:

Place groups of stuffed animals in corners of the room. You can find a plethora of them in toy stores and even yard sales.
You can find a lot of animal flash cards. When your child’s outgrown them, you can frame them and use as tiny accents on the sides of the doors, or by windowsills. They look better when they’re grouped.
Do you have photos of your child at a zoo? Have them enlarged, and then frame them. Hang this on the door.
You can find a lot of cheap plastic animals at a craft or toy store. Your child can make a real animal diorama, using a big box or an old aquarium. Look for tiny plants or rocks that will help transform the diorama to reflect the animal’s natural habitat.
Does your child have a reward chart? This is very useful for encouraging them to complete chores or master a skill. Make an animal theme reward chart (you can find them on the Internet) and then give him an animal sticker each time he does something well. Let him stick it on the chart himself. Hang the chart near the door.
Look for animal print bedspreads or pajamas. You can also make your own by taking a neutral colored bed sheet, then stencil paw prints with fabric paint.
