When parents are about to embark on the adventure of decorating a nursery for a son on the way, it may very well conjure up thoughts of their own youth. Some may have had rooms that still evoke marvelous images and wonderful memories, while others may remember their early space only as an excellent example of what should be avoided at all costs.

Many of these expectant moms and dads would like to either replicate or completely alter what came before, and they are eager to prepare a bedroom they can truly enjoy along with their new offspring. These days, one of the very best ways to prepare a nursery that is both child-oriented and parent-friendly is to make use of the iconic designs found in packaged sets of Dr. Seuss baby bedding.

Cheerful and whimsical characters enliven both of the currently available collections of this exciting and colorful baby boy bedding. The Dr. Seuss ABC ensemble includes four items; its fitted sheet and its coordinated bed skirt come with an all-around bumper and a decorative coverlet. What’s more, all of these pieces can be efficiently machine washed and dried, since they are made of soft but durable cotton fabric.

These bright linens have half a dozen different colors, used in both stripes and polka dots, and they naturally include the alphabet lettering their name suggests. You can also purchase any or all of an assortment of useful and decorative accessories made to go with the basic set. Of course, whatever else you may select, you will surely want to toss in some more crib sheets which you are certain to need.

On the other hand, you could go with the charming Cat in the Hat version graced by everyone’s favorite storybook feline. Crib bedding in this set consists of the same four items as in the ABC package, and you can select from the same range of matching articles to complete the decor while adding extra storage and other conveniences. In both cases, not only is laundering a breeze, but the manufacturer has also sized the sheets for the recommended snug fit on a standard crib mattress and has made the other pieces the recommended thickness for baby’s safety.

Just imagine being able to read to your toddler one day from the original Cat in the Hat book with the grin-inducing graphics he has already grown up loving. You know he’s sure to remember his nursery fondly when it comes time to create one for his own children in years to come.
