Preparing your child’s playroom for Christmas

With the hectic Christmas period rapidly approaching, now is the ideal time to prepare your tot’s bedroom or playroom in anticipation of new gifts and toys.

But why is this necessary?

Within this blog, we explore why clearing and organising your kid’s room for Christmas is beneficial, and the simple things you can do to prepare it.

Why is preparing your toddler’s space important before Christmas?

Christmas is the season of gift-giving, and it’s only natural that parents, friends and guardians want to shower their little ones with new toys, clothes and other presents.

Whilst this is incredibly thoughtful, you may struggle to find storage space in your child’s room to keep all their new things.

What’s more, you could be planning on treating your child to a large item such as a wooden climbing frame, which requires adequate floor space to be played upon safely.

So, with this in mind, the best way to ensure your treasured one’s room can accommodate more is by sorting it out before the holiday season reaches full swing - not only will you know you have space to play with, but you’ll have more time to yourself over Christmas by doing it in advance.

Tips on how to organise your little one’s nursery for Christmas

Preparing your children’s playroom before Christmas might seem tedious at first glance, but by following these simple steps, you can steam ahead clearing, organising and preparing it before Christmas Day:

Make way for new toys

First and foremost, the best way to organise your kid’s play area is by clearing out any toys or furniture that have been outgrown or are past their best condition.

Toys your toddler enjoyed as a baby may now be redundant, such as their old baby gym.

However, this doesn’t mean it needs to be taken to the skip - charity shops will gladly take play equipment in good condition off your hands. You could even sell it if you want to make a little extra cash!

You’ll be pleasantly surprised at how much more organised and tidy your little one’s space can feel by getting rid of old toys or furniture that are surplus to requirements.

Reposition your children’s furniture

If your kid’s room features a children’s tables and chairs set, or a plush mini sofa and armchair, it could be worthwhile readjusting the layout of these furnishings to make space for new toys or play equipment.

For example, if you’ve bought an indoor foam playground, try moving any furniture towards the room's edges to give your toddler plenty of space to enjoy it safely.

Invest in foldable foam furniture

Christmas is the time for family visits and joyous get-togethers, which may involve relatives or friends staying at your home.

However, you may not have enough beds to accommodate everyone - so, part of preparing your child’s playroom could include investing in foldable children’s furniture.

These plush chairs or sofas extend into a comfy mattress when unfolded, and are a great option for when your tot’s friends or young relatives come to stay - even after Christmas!

Given their stylish look and convenience for your toddler, this makes more sense than investing in blow-up beds that often deflate when in use and need to be stored away.

Cover your ball pit with a play mat

If your little munchkin already has a ball pit with a 2-in-1 play mat lid, you can utilise this to stack presents you haven’t found a place for.

Ball pits from KiddyMoon can be bought alongside a velvet play mat designed to cushion your child during play - these mats also double as a stylish lid that covers the enclosure.

Simply place it on top of the ball pit, where you can then place any gifts until you find a home for them.

We highly recommend organising your treasured one’s play paradise in preparation for Christmas - this way, you won’t be left with a room full of clutter that needs to be cleared in the new year.
