One of the most fun ways to bond with your family over the arrival of a new baby is to paint the nursery as a team. The only question is what to paint? If you aren't sure what you want to paint in your new baby's nursery don't worry - I have plenty of inspiration to share!
Both boys and girls from Christian families will enjoy a Biblical mural. Why not share your favorite stories from the Bible with your son or daughter? For instance, little boys love the story of David and Goliath, which tells how bravery can often help even the smallest of boys stand up to the biggest bullies. Little girls might like a more cute and cuddly story, like that of the lion and the lamb.
Another great wall painting idea is to choose your favorite cartoon and storybook characters as subjects for your murals. Alice in Wonderland, Peter Rabbit, and even Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs are excellent choices for storybook murals. Many parents who enjoy the old school poetry from Mother Goose choose to paint their favorite scenes from these lovely poems.
For parents who are looking for a low-cost, low-maintenance painting scheme for your child's room, cloud themed rooms are the best bet. All that you need in order to make a great room is a paintbrush, a can of blue paint, a can of white paint, and a sponge. It's suitable for both boys and girls, and it's inexpensive. For a more realistic cloud theme, consider getting an airbrush for the clouds. Some people even try to do sunset themes, but those are best left to the professionals.
Lastly, one favorite nursery painting theme is sports. Both little girls and little boys have their own sports that they love. Little girls love to be gymnasts, ballerinas, and ice skaters. Little boys will be thrilled to wake up every morning to illustrations of their favorite football players, race car drivers, and basketball stars! This can take a wide variety of different shapes. You can either paint sports players in action or do a large mural which combines the tools and equipment of the sports of your choice into one large and beautiful design. For girls, a pair of ballet shoes and a tiara can make a lovely painting centerpiece for your wall design. Boys' rooms can look great with a baseball bat and team uniform painted on their walls.
Overall, the important thing to remember when painting your child's nursery is that it should be done with love. There's not really any way to know what your baby will like but chances are that they will love a colorful painting in their nursery.
