Bespoke Children’s Beds for Easy Bedtimes

They hate it, and the parents hate it, and it just becomes a miserable time for everyone involved. Children’s bed times, that is. When the stories have all been read, and the toys all put away, and there’s still something far more interesting going on downstairs, the little ones are about as easy to coax into their beds as snails are to get out of their shells. Nothing doing without incipient violence. Or, for an easier life, how about getting some interesting children’s beds for the kids?

Sounds a bit odd, at first, until one takes a moment to think about it. The thing about bed time is this: no matter how a parent tries to dress it up, they are still trying to force a kid (whose whole world is about stimulation and constant change) into a place that doesn’t do anything – for eight whole hours! No wonder there’s always such a struggle. Now, with a bit of imagination (remember – that thing kids all have that the adults seem to have lost somewhere along the way), it’s possible to conceive that a wooden frame with a mattress on it isn’t the most inspiring thing for an active tiny mind to be consigned to. Bespoke children’s beds, which basically look like huge toys, are the ideal solution. Really, it’s just a bed – but to the child, whose imagination works a whole lot better than either mum or dad, it’s a gateway to a world of possibilities. It’s fun. It’s a rocket ship, or a car or a castle. It’s a place they actually want to be. And that’s exactly the kind of place mum and dad, parents that is, or any other guardian taking care of kids have been trying to make it for years.

Bespoke children’s beds tend to be made to look like something – a space rocket, as mentioned above, or a fairytale cottage, or a yacht, or anything at all. Kids, who are awesome at obsessions, often give unintentional pointers to their parents here – it’s pretty easy to work out what kind of thing one should have one’s child’s bed made as, because one’s child will be yammering on about it all the time. Example: if a person has a kid that always wants to read stories about wild animals and jungles and so forth – well, then, the bed is either going to be Noah’s Ark or a tree house. And so on. Children’s beds can even be incorporated into a whole “room theme”, which absolutely guarantees easy bed times. In our example, we’d be talking jungles and savannahs painted on the walls; a bed like a tree house; a wardrobe painted to look like a tree lined oasis, or carved into the shape of a temple – and maybe a chest of drawers like a native hut.

Kids love themes, and when their bedrooms are made up like this they can’t wait to get back to them. Bespoke children’s beds are equal to quiet nights. And that’s awesome for everyone.

Childrens Board Games Top Five For Fun

Like many others I love playing board games and have done since I was a child. You start off with simple fun games like Snakes and Ladders and Ludo, really get into them when you get a compendium of games off granny or granddad for Christmas and there you are, hooked for life.

Every Christmas you see tempting new games advertised on the television or in magazines and as you get older you teach your kids and then grandkids how to play board games just so you can enjoy them together. This year the top five board games being sold for kids are quite a mixture, but all fun. Let’s see what they are:

5. Cluedo Harry Potter

I have the original Cluedo game and have always enjoyed playing it, but I’m not sure about this twist on the original. But hey, I’m sure that todays kids are more likely to enjoy a game with Harry Potter baddies than the likes of Colonel Mustard and Miss Scarlet.

4. Twister

More of a floor game than a board game but just as much fun. It will keep the kids noisy but happy during Christmas day and tipsy adults entertained tying themselves in knots during the evening. It’s the game we adults love to hate but we still continue to buy it for our kids.

3. Tension The Zany Crazy Naming Game

For over 12s this game is basically a race against the clock to name 10 examples of a topic given, but you must guess the examples written on the game card. One to keep the brain sharp and have a great time competing with another team and especially at parties.

2. The Logo Board Game

A game for 2 – 6 players aged 12 and over the Logo Board Game has 1600 questions about products on sale in the UK. A sample question for instance is how many flavours of Rowntrees fruit pastilles are they? Get the questions right, move around the board and try to win.

1. Monopoly

This classic board game for 2 – 6 players is still number 1 after all these years, and the original not one of those special editions. Invented in 1934 over 200 million sets have been sold worldwide and in 26 languages. Amazing when you think of the simplicity of this game, moving around the board buying and selling properties and occasionally going to jail. I’ve spent many happy hours playing Monopoly and I’m sure that this superb board game will be around for many years to come. If they still have the old boot that’s my playing piece.

There you have it. The top 5 board games this year and 5 golden gift ideas for birthdays and Christmas. It’s great being able to give friends and family presents that you know will continue to entertain for a long time.
