One of the simplest ways you can transform your baby's nursery into a toddler's bedroom is through artwork. Artwork, and especially pieces that speak to their interests, is also a great way to introduce and engage your child around colors, shapes, letters, and numbers.

One of the simplest ways you can transform your baby's nursery into a toddler's bedroom is through artwork. Artwork, and especially pieces that speak to their interests, is also a great way to introduce and engage your child around colors, shapes, letters, and numbers.


We’ll show you how you can age up your child’s room and stimulate their development using our favorite prints from Minted. Every one of these is designed by an independent artist (and for Tinyhood readers, they are also 20% off — keep reading!). 

Toddlers are drawn to bright, fun colors, and artwork with bold colors can help engage their imagination and sense of creativity without creating an overly stimulating space.

Though your toddler is a few years away from reading, you can help lay the foundation for literacy by teaching letters and letter sounds. But there’s no need to break out the flashcards. Instead, you can opt for fun prints that combine the alphabet with their unique interests!

Even though many toddlers can recite the numbers 1-10, they often don’t understand the value behind these numbers. These adorable prints can help with that by combining the number with its numeric value, making for fun counting practice while you are getting dressed or changing a diaper.

Even toddlers who can’t read yet can eventually recognize their names. This doesn’t just make it easier for them to find their cubby at daycare or preschool but can also help them understand how letters and sounds work together. Plus, what child wouldn’t want to see their name next to Elsa or Lightning McQueen?
