How To Decorate Your Kids Room For Christmas

Dress stuffed toys for Christmas

There is no need to buy expensive figurines or seasonal stuffed animals. Just dress up existing toys or use them in another way. For example, dress dolls and animals with scarfs, mittens, hats and boots. Use trains and other toys for wintery decorations, upgrading them with white cotton or fake snow.

Decorate the bed

Christmassy beddings and pillows can add warmth to every room. Choosing a more wintery theme for the fabrics, will make them be used for far more time than only for the Christmas season. Another option is to decorate the bed itself with small wreaths, stockings or garlands.

Make the best out of a corner or niche

It is not necessary to decorate the whole room. Find a niche, a shelf or a corner and decorate it generously with lights and seasonal items. Baskets filled with Christmassy stuffed animals and toys will be a great addition to the room.

Make a mantle to decorate

Why not having a fake fireplace in the room that can be decorated? A nice shelf can do the trick, or you could paint the outline of a mantle and decorate it. Crafting a mantle out of cardstock paper is also a great idea. Another option is to paint a mantle with charcoal wall paint and use colorful chalk to create the outline and duplicate a warm fire. Hang stockings and decorate with ornaments to give the fake mantle a festive look.

Use the walls

Decorating the walls can be so easy when using themed stickers or even wallpaper with some wintery images. Let the kids help putting up the stickers and arrange some lights to give a more warm touch. Also, stars can be fashioned out of cardboard and hang on the wall. Don’t forget decorating the windows with snowflakes or hanging ornaments. If the room is not large enough for a tree, just make a tree on the wall using lights or ornaments. For smaller children a felt Christmas tree hang on the wall with felt decorations for the toddlers to attach to the tree again and again is a fun and easy activity.
