No matter if its reptiles or insects, many kids love animals and other things found in nature. You can encourage your child to enjoy the outdoors and promote an exploring and adventurous spirit in them using a nature theme in their bedroom.

A bedroom with a theme designed around your little boy’s favorite pet will also be a real winner.

You can add pictures of his favorite pet and he together and also stuffed animals.

You can create a safari themed bedroom with borders, fabrics, and wallpapers in interesting and colorful designs available from most home improvement and hardware stores. You can use pillows and valances made from animal-print fabrics (leopard or zebra patterns) and paint the walls of the bedroom with a blue, ivory, or tan. You can hang butterfly nets, straw hats, binoculars, and other safari gear from the walls, and place stuffed animals of tigers and lions around the room. You can use a colorful mat board or frame to show off your son’s artwork.

Camping in the mountains is a fun time for many children. You can have the same theme in your son’s bedroom with the right fabrics, bedding, wallpaper, and borders.
