Decorating Themes for Your Child’s Cubby House

After purchasing your child their very own cubby house, you may want to begin helping your child decorate their play house in a theme that they like. One of the first things to remember is that most character themes may be a fad that can leave a child’s interest just as fast as it came in. If they have a particular character that they have liked for a long time, this can be a good choice. Knowing that the theme will need to flow inside the entire house will be helpful when choosing a theme that can work easily in the house.

Here are a few popular themes used to decorate a cubby house with.

• Country Cottage Style Home Theme – This is a fun theme for those kids who like to pretend that they are all grown up with a house of their own. Using miniature versions of real home themes can be fun for kids that like this type of cubby house. Many parents use a play kitchen set to add to the house. You can also add a picket fence and flower boxes to the front of the house if you have room.
• A Fort Theme Cubby – This type of cubby can be decorated with many different styles. Some kids that like pirate themes will love to decorate their fort with pirate décor. You can use red and black striped items and add toys such as a telescope and a steering wheel for a ship. Kids love this type of pretend play.
• Character Themes – Kids that love a certain character will be so excited to have their cubby decorated in this theme. If you know that this is not just a quick fad, this would be a great choice for decorating their pretend house. Some kids have a specific super hero that they love and may be so excited to have this as the theme to their play house. They can incorporate this type of environment in their imaginary play time.

Choosing a theme that will last a long period of time will be best. You can always start with a few items and then slowly add more items to their cubby decorations. Kids can also choose to mix themes together if they cannot pick just one style. You can add accessories on to the cubby such as a slide or swings for an adventure style structure that will keep your kids occupied for many hours.
