1. Wall Art with a Purpose
One of the easiest ways to personalize a nursery is by creating custom wall art. But why stop at pretty pictures when you can make something interactive? For example:
Movement-Inspired Wall Hangings: Use the Rattle Set to create a sensory wall. Hang the rattles securely within a colorful frame, turning them into an engaging activity for tummy time or early play sessions.
Name Art: Spell out your baby’s name with wooden letters and add playful accents like miniature baby Crawl Balls to the display. This creates a vibrant, textural element that’s both decorative and playful.

2. Activity Zones for Play and Development
Designing a nursery isn’t just about making it look cute; it’s also about functionality. Incorporate activity zones into your design to support your baby’s development from day one.
Activity Center Station: Dedicate a corner of the nursery to the Activity Center. Its sleek design blends beautifully with nursery decor while offering endless opportunities for movement-based play. Bonus: Its sustainably sourced beechwood design adds an eco-friendly touch to the room.
Crawl Corner: Use the Baby Crawl Ball to encourage your baby’s early motor skills. Pair it with soft mats or a cozy rug, creating a safe space where your little one can explore and learn to crawl.

3. Functional Storage with a Playful Twist
Who says storage can’t be fun? Get creative with how you organize your nursery essentials while keeping the space lively and engaging.
Rattle Display: Use small baskets or wall-mounted organizers to store the Rattle Set. Arrange them in an easy-to-access spot so they double as decor and functional toys for your baby.
Toy Bins with Personality: Customize plain storage bins with stencils or decals. For example, add fun phrases like "Let’s Play!" or "Crawl Time!" to bins holding the Baby Crawl Ball or other active toys.

4. Interactive Mobiles for Movement-Inspired Play
Mobiles are a nursery staple, but you can take yours to the next level with a DIY twist that incorporates movement-focused elements.
Activity-Themed Mobile: Attach lightweight, plush versions of the Rattle Set or mini Crawl Balls to a mobile frame. Make sure everything is securely fastened and safely out of reach for babies under one year old.
DIY Music Mobile: Pair your mobile with calming tunes from a Move2Play Karaoke Machine or Karaoke Mic. Singing soft lullabies or fun playtime songs can help soothe or engage your little one.

5. Photo Frames with a Playful Edge
Capture precious moments and add a playful spin to traditional photo displays.
Themed Frames: Create DIY photo frames decorated with accents that match your nursery’s theme. For instance, if you’ve integrated the Activity Center, use similar materials like wood and soft colors.
Interactive Displays: Add small hooks to your frames to hang lightweight toys like rattles or plush Crawl Balls, turning your photo gallery into a multi-sensory experience.

6. Floor Time Fun Mats
Floor mats are essential for tummy time and early movement, so why not make them part of your DIY project?
Custom Mat Designs: Purchase a plain mat and use non-toxic paint to add playful patterns or inspiring words like "Let’s Crawl!" Place the mat near your Activity Center or Crawl Ball station for easy play transitions.
Themed Play Area: Pair your mat with items from the Rattle Set or Baby Crawl Ball to create a cohesive and inviting space for your baby to explore.

7. DIY Light Fixtures for Ambiance
The right lighting can make a nursery feel cozy and magical. Add your own DIY flair to lighting fixtures:
Decorative Lampshades: Customize a plain lampshade with stencils or paint to include playful designs like clouds, stars, or animals.
Hanging Lights: Incorporate soft fairy lights near your Activity Center or other play zones to create a calming atmosphere for nighttime play or storytime.

8. Sensory Baskets for Active Play
Create sensory baskets filled with items that inspire movement and exploration.
Rattle Basket: Include various items from the Rattle Set, along with soft fabrics and colorful balls to encourage tactile and auditory exploration.
Movement Basket: Add a Baby Crawl Ball and other lightweight toys to keep your little one engaged and active.

9. DIY Growth Chart with Milestone Markers
Track your baby’s growth with a personalized chart that doubles as decor.
Activity-Inspired Growth Chart: Use the same colors and materials as your Activity Center to create a cohesive look. Add playful designs like crawl paths or footprints.
Milestone Hooks: Attach small hooks to the chart to display toys like rattles as your baby hits new growth milestones.

10. Finishing Touches with Love
Every nursery needs those final touches that make it feel complete and filled with love.
Handmade Pillows: Sew or decorate small pillows with fun phrases like "Move & Play!" or "Let’s Go!" to add personality.
Customized Wall Decals: Create wall decals that reflect your baby’s favorite toys or activities, such as the Activity Center or Baby Crawl Ball.
