Whale Themed Nursery Ideas

September 11, 2015 by Rosie 2 Comments

I have always loved the idea of a whale themed nursery. Whales, the mystical creatures of the deep, make tranquil centre points for an ocean themed room. So I started to collect together some ideas of things I have found for a whale themed baby’s room.

 

Whale-Nursery-Ideas

A blue and white colour scheme can form a peaceful base and handmade or unusual whale accessories add a bespoke look. This room could work for a boy or a girl and it’s sophisticated style would grow with baby into toddlerhood and beyond.

I hope these ideas help get you started with creating a magical underwater world for your little whale lover!

1. Blue Blackout Curtains

These blue blackout curtains from Deconovo create a perfect watery backdrop, whilst keeping the room nice and dark – so your little one can sleep peacefully.

2. Whale Mobile

This handmade mobile from Etsy shop One Little Shop is a colourful, yet simple focal point in the room. Perfect for baby to gaze at.

3. Navy Paper Lantern

This navy blue paper lantern will give your baby’s room a soft blue glow.

4. All the Fish in the Sea Artwork

You can buy this cute sentimental artwork as an instant download from Etsy shop Call Me Artsy. Check out the shop for lots more adorable printable artwork.

5. Stuffed Whale Toy

This gorgeous handmade whale princess will fit right into a whale themed room – it’s the perfect soft toy, or cushion for your little princess, or prince for that matter! It’s handmade from cotton fleece and felt at Etsy shop Milipa and I’m totally in love with it! How about you?

6. Espresso Crib

This Kalani 4 in 1 convertible crib from DaVinci will fit stylishly with any colour scheme and will grow with baby from newborn to toddler.

7. Whales Baby Sleeping Bag

This playful whales sleeping bag from Baby Deedee is adorable for a whales themed room. It will also keep baby cosy and safe, with no danger of them kicking blankets off.

8. Whale Toy Chest

This whale toy chest from 3 Sprouts will keep baby’s toys tidy, whilst adding cuteness and colour to the room. You could also use this handy container for diapers, wipes, or other storage in the room.

9. Waves Carpet

This blue, grey and white abstract rug gives the calm impression of waves and gives a splash of colour. It would work well with a light coloured carpet or wooden floors.

Are you planning a whales, or ocean themed room? What other ideas do you have to add?

    That’s all really sweet. Thanks for sharing – I’m trying to come up with ideas for my twin boys’ bedroom as I want to decorate it as a surprise for their birthday. I’m struggling to decide between an under the sea them or a space theme at the moment! I hadn’t even thought of looking on Etsy for inspiration. Thanks!

    Thank you! Aw, that’s a lovely idea to decorate the boys’ room as a surprise! A sea theme or a space theme would be lovely, perhaps whatever they are both most into? Although I do remember loving those glow in the dark stars on the ceiling when I was a kid – they would be great on the ceiling of a space themed room. They have some lovely stuff on Etsy, especially to make the room a bit more unique. I’d love to hear what ideas you come up with! x

Would you like to make some last minute Valentines this weekend? ❤️(Or maybe you're stuck in isolating like us 🤪).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These easy washi tape hearts are so quick and easy to make - they look really effective too! 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've posted a blog post (link in bio) but to be honest these are so simple to make.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Cut a heart shape from card - you could use an old piece of cereal box.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Tear pieces of washi tape and create a collage. See what mix of patterns and colours you can make!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Add a face with a black pen or goggly eyes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Write a note on the back for someone special!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you don't have any washi tape you could also use left over pieces of gift wrap and stick on with glue. 🎁 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you giving Valentines on Monday? Are you making anything special with the kids?

I think the best Christmas decorations are the homemade ones, how about you? 🎄 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Toilet roll crafts are one of our faves as you don't need much to make them - it also reuses those cardboard tubes!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These Santa Claus and Mrs Claus toilet roll ornaments are really easy to make with just a few materials. Inspire children to make their own Santa 🎅 or Mrs Claus 🤶 - or perhaps they might decide to make their own Christmas characters!

Do your kids like to make homemade Christmas ornaments?
Hello!👋 Rosie here! It’s been a while! How Hello!👋 

Rosie here! 
It’s been a while! How was your summer? I hope you had a break from routine?

I took a social media break so I could focus on just ‘being’ this summer. It’s been a challenging year for us all and sometimes it’s good to take a step back and focus on what matters. ❤️

I love this photo of me and my gang (we are about to go on a pony trek!) 🐎 It sums up our summer - getting outdoors, trying new things and most of all, spending time together. 🥰

I also wholeheartedly recommend a visit to @pembreycountrypark in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 where this picture was taken. We loved it so much we could have spent much more than a day there!

Did you have a break from routine this summer? What did you get up to?
What can you create with a wooden spoon?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We've had a go at making some wooden spoon people puppets! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These were so fun and easy to make. Your children can use their imagination to create any different characters that they like! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some of the ideas my kids came up with were: mermaids, ladies with pretty dresses and super heroes. Scroll to see some of the finished results!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope your children have as much fun making these wooden spoon people puppets are much as mine did. Once you’ve made your puppets you can go ahead and put on a puppet show!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Click on the link in my bio for the full tutorial.

Have you used wooden spoons for your kids to craft with? What did you make?
Stick Fairy! 🧚‍♀️ I put this on my stor Stick Fairy! 🧚‍♀️ 

I put this on my stories, but then thought was too cute to not share properly! 💚

This wonderful stick fairy idea came from @mothernatured 👏 
I made one for the woodland playgroup I co-run and the children loved making their own versions! 💚

I recommend using dry sticks. Use pva glue and leave to dry thoroughly. Some of our group also found tying leaves on with yarn worked really well too!

Do you like to make nature crafts with your kids? 🌲

Do you have a Peter Rabbit fan in your house? My daughter adores the Peter Rabbit books and the tv show. How about your children? 🥕 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We love making our own toys from recycled bits and bobs in the house, so decided to have a go at making a Peter Rabbit figure using a toilet roll! ✂️ 

You can make this Peter Rabbit toilet roll DIY with an empty toilet roll and a few bits and pieces from the craft box.

We love using washi tape in crafts, especially homemade cards. It’s so fun and easy to use and looks really effective. Why not give it a try? 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can make these washi tape cards for any occasion. Your kids will enjoy coming up with their own designs. Search ‘washi tape cards’ on the blog for full tutorial.
