- Check your local art shop for peel and stick cork. You can cut them into any shape and attach them to any part of the wall to provide a colorful look.
- You can use different charts to border the walls and use non-toxic paints to put your child’s handprint on the borders.

- Do not keep much of soft toys or toys with fur on it. These may cause choking and other allergies.
- While choosing the color for the furniture or a dresser, ask your child’s opinion. You can even get his/her signature or hand print on the furniture. This will foster a feeling of belongingness in your child.
