AWESOME ANIMAL DECOR

Animals are a classic theme for a baby’s nursery because all children associate with animals, regardless of their age, race, gender or size. If you’re looking to transform your nursery into one with lions, tigers and bear – oh my! then keep these simple tips in mind.
You don’t have to be an accomplished artist to create an animal themed wall mural in your child’s nursery. Or keep it easy and buy a wall scene kit from your local home improvement store. Either way you’ll get maximum impact at minimal cost. Look for animal print bedding with bright colors and bold prints to compliment your colorful walls. (If you can sew, visit your local craft store where you’ll find a ton of great fabrics to choose from at a significant savings.) As for furniture, consider creating a “feeding chest” for the animals of the room by painting a plain toy chest or adding decals on a plastic storage bin.
Once the core design elements are established, it’s time to accessorize! Here are just a few of our favorite creature-happy accent pieces.

HANDMADE BY HILLARY: DIY FISHING GAME

We are all about animals here at Petite Lemon — from our personalized growth charts to our big sister tshirt and big brother tshirt collection, we’ve got charming owls, fun sea creatures and a pile of zoo animals for everyone! So to go along with each and every animal themed growth chart and our personalized tshirts for kids collection, our Handmade by Hillary DIY this month is the cutest fishing game of all time!

Here’s what you’ll need (we made 6 fish, but you can always make more!):
– 1 wooden dowel
– 18 inches yarn
– 6 miscellaneous socks (we used size 6-12 mo.)
– 12 buttons (for the fish eyes)
– 7 magnets (1 for each fish and 1 for the fishing pole)
– stuffing
– 1 metal washer
– miscellaneous ribbon for embellishing
– paint (if you want to paint your fishing pole)

1) Turn all of the socks inside out. You are going to sew up the heal on each sock. Just a straight line — see diagram in the picture below:

2) Place a magnet in the toe of each sock. We put a little glue on there so it wouldn’t shift around while you are stuffing the fish. Stuff the fish with stuffing up to where the heal was.

3) You are going to sew buttons on for the fish eyes. You could also use googly eyes or felt if you wanted. Then tie off the end of the fish with ribbon or string.

4) Take your wooden dowel and cut it down to the size you want your pole to be. There is no right or wrong here. You could have a long or short fishing pole. We painted our pole pink, but you could leave it the wood color if you want. Tie one end of your yarn to the washer and attach a magnet to the end. Tie the other end to the top of your fishing pole.

5) Admire your adorable little fish.

6) Let your little one play with it.

Happy Fishing!!

NEW TRAIN-THEMED PERSONALIZED TSHIRTS FOR KIDS

Chugga chugga chugga chugga choo choo! All aboard for the newest designs in our line of personalized Tshirts for kids. We’ve been talking a lot about transportation lately, gearing up for these fun train tees which will be pulling into the station (ok, our website) really soon.
Both of these looks are available in two different color options in short sleeve, long sleeve, and baseball sleeve, as well as a personalized baby onesie. The classic locomotive makes an adorable Little/Big Brother Tshirt or Little/Big Sister Tshirt design, while the high speed train is ideal for any train-obsessed boy or girl.
Which do you prefer, the sleek, modern train or the classic steam engine?

ORGANIZED WHEELS

With the mind-blowing amount of cars, trucks, bikes, boats, motorcycles, airplanes and more that your little one scatters around the house on a daily basis, there’s only one thing that can keep a well-ordered parent sane: storage . . . and lots of it.
Let’s face it, your kiddo’s love for anything on wheels is here to stay, but there’s just so much of it and so little space to put it in. (Not to mention the unintentional harm that a toy on wheels can cause if stepped on during your early morning voyage to the coffee maker.) But don’t be fooled by a toy chest; kids just dump their toys in there and it becomes a huge mess. The key is in finding (or building) an organized system to contain, arrange and display your kid’s mechanical toys, and with any luck, dad will become inspired and finally organize the garage like he’s promised to do all year!
There are lots of options out there, but the following four ideas will keep the clutter neat, tidy and fully functional.

HOW OUR PERSONALIZED TSHIRTS FOR KIDS FIT

As we all know, shopping online can be a little bit of a hassel — choosing the the right size, wondering if it’s going to fit right, etc. The same goes for shopping for kids clothes. Our personalized tshirts for kids are one of a kind, personalized with your child’s name so they are meant to be extra special and fit just right. So we’ve put together a series of videos to help you see how our tees fit in size and compare to other brands such as Carter’s, Gymboree, Old Navy and Gap.
Let’s first start with our boys short sleeve tee — you can choose this tee style to go along with any design from our name and number tees, or our big brother tshirt and little brother tshirt collection.

Next up, our girls cap sleeve tees — and you can choose this tee style to go along with any of our designs in our name and number or big sister tshirt or little sister tshirt collections.

And last but not least — onesies!! All of our onesies are available in any of our name or number designs or little sister or little brother design.

If you have any other questions about our personalized tshirts for kids, big brother tshirt or big sister tshirt collection OR how our tees fit, wear and care, etc. please feel free to send us an email to contact@petitelemon.com.
