What better way to provide an inspirational message for your child daily than on the walls where he or she plays and sleeps? Here are ideas for decorating your child’s playroom or nursery and where to buy the Catholic products that make up those living spaces.
Decorate with Angels
Let your child remember that their guardian angel is always watching over them with a beautiful portrait on the wall or framed the Guardian Angel prayer for them to read often
Angel of God
My guardian dear
To Whom His love
Commits me here
Ever this day
Be at my side
To light and guard
To rule and guide. Amen
Make a prayer space or shrine to Our Mother Mary
Prayer spaces are a great way for children to keep their special religious items like statues, prayer books, Bible, and rosary. You could have a small place for it in a corned of their room with a comfy chair or in a walk-in closet. Just explain that it’s not a place to play, but to pray. This unique, up cycled jewelry box is a good idea too!
Decorate with your child’s favorite saints
What better hero to watch over your child while they play or sleep? The saints of course! I love these paintings from Etsy. Wouldn’t it be cute to gift them with a new saint each Christmas until they have a whole gang of saints to learn about and watch over them at night???
Keep the Bible front and center
Let the Bible and Bible verses be the focus of the room with framed decorative Bible verses or this cute DIY Bible verse idea. This would be a great way to help them memorize verses if they’re able!
Make their favorite characters Christian too!
I’m as much of a fan of Iron Man as anyone else, so why not have him acting Christ-like in your child’s room?
A crucifix is a must!
So many saints have said what a great help meditating on Christ crucified has done for their prayer life so a crucifix in your child’s room would be ideal. It is the image of the epitome of love.
I hope these ideas give you a good starting point for decorating your Catholic child’s room! For more Catholic decorating ideas, check out our Decorating Pinterest board!
