Toddler Girls Room Furniture

Charles asks…

Toddler girl furniture question?

I want to get my daughter colorful butterfly shaped furniture for her room now because I want to keep with the butterfly theme. But eventually I want to go with an all while expensive princess theme. Would it be a waste to buy toddler type furniture and then buy elegant princess furniture.

admin answers:

Yes, shes going to grow out of that butterfly furniture in a couple years and not even remember it later in life, just get her furniture she can grow with and paint a butterfly on her wall and shell be just as happy

Ken asks…

I have to paint my daughters' room. There are three girls in this room, a teenager, a preteen and a toddler.

They can't agree on a color!! I told them to pick two colors and we will paint 2 of the walls one color and the other 2 walls another color. The two older girls like baby blue. My 3 year-old likes any color. Their furniture is a light pine. Please help me pick out 2 colors for their room or a color that will go with the baby blue (just not white). We want to paint the trims and closet door off white. Thanks for your help.

Go to the paint store, find baby blue on a paint sample strip, then choose one of the other colors on the same strip. Put up some white christmas lights along the ceiling or around windows and mirrors to make the room glisten. They will all love it. Find a border that they like and place it around the tops of the walls, maybe stars, or flowers or clouds, something universal, that all girls like..
Good luck

Magazines that have cute girl clothes,toys,room decorations and furniture. Any magazines with a fairy or princess theme for toddler bedrooms. Thanks in advance :)

Pottery Barn Baby and or Pottery Barn Kids have very cute decor for her room. Toys R Us has a lot of toys and lots of toddler girls like Care Bears and Corolle Dolls. Baby Gap makes very cute clothes, as does Jamboree. Also your local target sells lots of very cute little girl clothes.

How and when should we have our toddler transition beds/rooms?

We have a little girl who just turned 2 in January. We are expecting another in July. Right now, we are working on potty training with our 2 year old, and are guessing she will be well potty trained by July. Obviously, when she is out of diapers she will go to a toddler bed. Our question, should we put the toddler crib up in the nursery (perfect set up for all the baby gear) and temporarily take down the crib, or move her to her new "big girl room"? Or should we just let her keep her room, switch her bed, and put the new baby further down the hall?
We would like to have her move to the new room, since the nursery is at the top of the stairs (we are downstairs), and it is perfect for all the furniture (glider, etc). Just wondering if you think she will adjust better all at once (toddler bed and room at once), or a little at a time (bed, then new room ), or never?
Thanks!

She can go to a toddler bed before she is out of diapers. I don't understand why you feel the need to wait until she is potty trained. That being said, the issue here is really when to move her and which room she should have.

I believe that kids can get excited about ANYthing if it is presented in the proper way. It you tell a child that you are having a party at lunch today, and give the child ONE special something to 'make' it a party....a 'special' dessert (it does not have to be anything special.....just tell then that it is), a party hat, let them pick the menu and invite a friend, nap time is delayed by 15 minutes because you are going to read a 'new' book to them, etc......then you are having a party in their little eyes. You can have 'special time' when Mommy or Daddy takes the child to McDonald's or to the park for 'special' play time. Make a BIG deal out of it, and they will feel special and extra happy because of the attitude you portray to them.

I would hype up the fact that she is getting 'so big' and is going to be a big sister. I am sure that she is already excited about the baby. Tell her that because she is the big sister, she is going to get a new, big sister bedroom and a new big girl bed. Let her get excited about anything you want to elaborate on. The new bed, the color of the walls, the bedspread, the fact that she is SOOO big and is pottying in the big girl potty! You may want to allow her to pick something out for her 'new bedroom'. Let her select a new piggy bank or lamp or baby doll to sleep with her in her new bedroom. Whatever SHE will get excited about. It is important that she does not feel that she is getting pushed out of her room to make room for the new baby. She needs to feel that she is the special one and is growing up and is getting rewarded with these special changes.

I think it would be best if this is done now so that she has time to adjust to her new surrounds and not feel that she is losing something because there is now an intruder in her old room. While she is adjusting to growing up and getting bigger, she can still visit her old room and slowly you can get it ready for your new arrival. She will then be happy that she has her own special new space, and can get excited with you at the anticipation of her new baby's arrival.

Mom and Dad need to keep the atmosphere happy and festive and all about her at this point. She needs to feel excited at the prospect of the new baby, and she needs to be settled into her new space well before the baby comes to stay. Good luck with this exciting transition in your life. You have been double blessed!
