Travel Themes

Does your child have the wanderlust? Does your family travel a lot? Do friends of yours travel and send postcards? International travel can be an exciting theme for a girl's room or a boy's room. Framed prints of famous landmarks, such as Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower, and the Taj Mahal are readily available, as are old fashioned advertisements for vacations in Europe and Africa.

An old trunk pasted with stickers from exotic locales would be a great toy box, and a bulletin board featuring postcards is another fun way to incorporate the travel theme. Use shelving to display keepsakes from trips that you or others have taken. One of the nicest things about a travel-themed kid's room is that it can work with any color combination, so experiment ‘til your heart's content!
