Giraffe Baby Bedding for Cribs

Having giraffe designs on a baby's crib bedding is a great choice. If you think about the animals that young children tend to experience first, they are often zoo or safari animals. This gentle giant makes for a really cute design as part of your overall decor for the nursery or room.

I remember this with all my daughter's baby toys and books - it was always giraffes, elephants, lions and monkeys. These were the animals that she became familiar with early on. So it does make sense to choose a nursery and bedding theme on a subject that the child will become familiar and happy with. There are plenty of different piece sets to choose on this page. All of which incorporate this wonderful safari animal. This rich brown set with brightly colored circles that kids can easily see, comes with a quilt, bumper, dust ruffle and fitted sheet.

6 piece sets often come with the following items:

• comforter
• bumper
• sheet
• dust ruffle
• diaper stacker
• window valance

The key difference between these and most smaller sets are that you get the additional diaper stacker which is a cute and handy way to store all your baby's diapers and a gorgeous window valance which is really beneficial in tying in the bedding with the rest of the baby nursery. You can sometimes buy the valance and diaper stacker separately but you can't always guarantee getting hold of them to match exactly with the bedding that you've chosen. So purchasing a larger set is a good way to ensure you get a better range to start with.

Being a mom myself, I think it's a whole lot easier to choose the theme you're going to have for your baby's room first - before you start painting or decorating. We did it the wrong way round when I had my daughter. We painted her nursery first, then went with a theme. Boy was it hard trying to match colors up!

It would have been so much easier to pick out the bedding first and then use that as inspiration for style, colors, shapes and patterns. That is how I'd have done things if I'd had realized how much easier it is that way round. If you're painting or putting paper on the walls, you can pick out shades which match in perfectly with the crib set. Likewise with flooring, furniture and even toys.

I never was entirely happy with my daughter's room. But I learned a valuable lesson there because once she got to 4 and went up into a child's bed, we got the soft furnishings first and then matched her entire room decor up with it. It now works wonderfully well. I hope you've enjoyed reading my wizzles page today, thanks for your visit. I hope your giraffe theme is a great success - I'm sure it will be.
