modern science meets kid’s room: five decorating ideas

We’ve got kids’ rooms on the brain around here. Scouting (cool) stuff that is both design and kid-friendly. Today’s round-up is a colorful collection inspired by science — with hopes that it’ll stimulate the mini-minds in your life!

Techie Baby Art Prints
This set of four modern science 5 X 7 prints from Niko and Lily not only brightens a room, it just may inspire your mini-Einstein. You can order the set or individual prints. Prints arrive unframed. Although they are advertising this for a nursery, these prints work for the toddler/preschool set, too!

Playable ART Ball
It may look like an atomic structure, but it’s really a classic stress ball. We love this fab interconnected design from Bernd Liebert. You’ll find this gem everywhere from The Museum of Modern Art to aMuse Toys. Would look great sitting on any shelf!

Periodic Table of Childhood
I can’t take credit for this find — stumbled upon it over on DesignMom. But I love how it combines art, science and whimsy! Everyone needs a little more Am (amazement) and Jo (joy) in their life! Designed by StealingSand on Etsy. Limited edition series!

Innit Chair
Looks a bit like a satellite dish, no? This mod retro design from Innit is both stylish and small — perfect for compact spaces.

Skwish Mobile
Atomic structure meets mobile. Bright and colorful, this mobile design from Skwish will delight babies AND adults. No music or electronic movement, but the weight will keep the mobile in motion. Hey, high school physics class strikes again.  Available from Giggle.

Heather is editor-in-chief of (cool) progeny. When not scouting the best in everything kid and family, you'll probably find her running The Weisse Group or adventuring around town with her daughter (the Bug) and husband. Can be won over with a good glass of wine or something homemade. Addicted to Pinterest. Only pretends to know what she's doing with her SLR, even though she's got a fantastic lens on it. Thankful it does most of the work for her.
