Decorating your kid’s bedroom is great fun for parents and children. One popular decor idea for sons or daughters is a dinosaur adventure motif. Many young boys love dinosaurs and other prehistoric beasts.

Use the following tips and ideas to turn your kid’s bedroom into an adventurous dinosaur jungle.

Dinosaur Adventure Kid’s Bedroom Painting Ideas

All dinosaurs did not live in the jungle. However, the prehistoric world was populated by some large trees and ferns. The first step in turning your kid’s bedroom into a dinosaur adventure is painting the walls to represent this jungle-like habitat.

Paint the walls green and add different colors of green for giant leaves, fern fronds, and palm type trees. If you are really adventurous, paint in some logs and rocks as well. Painting the ceiling blue will make your kid feel as if their bedroom is really outside in a dinosaur habitat.

If your kid prefers, you can paint the room to look like a desert dinosaur habitat. The main colors would be tan, brown, and yellow. You can paint large rocks or an oasis on one wall.

Dinosaur Adventure Kid’s Bedroom Furniture Ideas

Furniture was never found in dinosaur times, but your kid needs some in his bedroom. You can paint small dinosaurs, dinosaur footprints, or scale pattern on your kid’s bedroom furniture. Or, you can transform the furniture into giant dinosaurs by cutting out pieces of plywood in the shape of the dinosaurs and attaching it to the sides of the furniture. For example, your kid’s bed could become a sleeping stegosaurus with a plywood shape on each side.

Dinosaur Adventure Kid’s Bedroom Accessory Ideas

Making the dinosaur adventure themed kid’s bedroom is easy with the right accessories. You should be able to find dinosaur printed bed linens such as sheets and blankets. You can buy or sew dinosaur shaped pillows for the bed or chairs. Any type of jungle style accessories would work well. Buy a lamp with a shade that looks like palm fronds. Get a carpet remnant and cut out the shape of a giant dinosaur footprint for a throw rug. Use wooden dinosaur teeth as pegs where your kid can hang their coat and hat.

Decorating your kid’s bedroom in a dinosaur adventure style is a great idea for kids that love prehistoric animals. By using a jungle motif and lots of dinosaur pictures and toys, your son or daughter will love their adventure bedroom.
