As mentioned in the Article, Preparing for Baby, my most coveted investment with all three of my children was the room-scaping we purchased from Community Playthings.
This clever concept, expounding on the playpen idea, makes life so much easier once Baby is mobile, and even before if there are pets and other children in the house.
Originally designed for educational environments, these playscapes allow for a safe and appealing space in which to create your little baby haven. Whether you have a sprawling villa or a studio apartment, you can create a home within a home specifically for yours and Baby’s needs. Since there appears to be little need to spend a fortune when your baby is young, you can get über creative with a reasonable budget, and remain beneficial for the development of your child.
Imagine that your baby came from the world between worlds, her little spirit beamed down from the before/after realm, directly for you to nurture. What should that environment represent to her? Textures might want to be soft, colors muted, natural, raw materials, and classic, so that your aesthetic is not obsolete before Baby’s first birthday! Natural light is a plus, and if you have a balcony or garden, make the very most of the fresh air as much as you can. Dr. Emmi Pikler® believed strongly that babies and children should spend as much time outdoors as possible to aid in their lung development, to prevent illness and to reap the benefits of the natural bird song, trees, scents, sights, sounds. You can bring the outdoors inside with your interior design, using natural materials, keeping the color palette neutral and earthy.
