Following a good set of toddler bed plans will not only be safer, it will save you money, and you can make it a long remembered experience for you and your little one. They are relatively easy to build, assemble and are adapted to their smaller size.
Safety 1st
Toddler Princess Bed
Toddler bed plans are specifically adjusted to a child's smaller size. By following a plan adjusted for a toddler bed, instead of lets say a full-sized bed, can be a safer and more effective approach of transitioning from a crib because it is designed to sit lower to the floor.
A standard sized bed can sit upwards of 2 feet (with mattress) above the floor where as a toddler bed (with mattress) only sits at 15 3/4 inches. Children are prone to rolling off beds and even jumping off of them, needless to say having one of these events occur from a shorter distance from the floor will lessen their chances of producing any significant injuries.
Save Money 2nd
The second advantage for transitioning from a crib to a toddler bed is that it is compact and takes up no more room than a crib. These plans are designed to accommodate a standard sized crib mattress allowing you to get more use out of that mattress; meaning you don't have to go out and buy a new mattress for another 2-3 years.
Most toddler beds found in stores today are inexpensive but less sturdy because they are constructed mainly of plastic and lightweight metal. By using general woodworking hand tools and building your own with high quality materials you can ensure that it will be durable to stand the test of time.
3rd Bonus Reward
Your toddler can still be a part of the process, even it they are still too young to help with the building part. When it's all done and finished you can get them involved by letting them decorate. Just a few suggestions:
Paint - Let them choose the color Inexpensive, easy to apply, and easy to remove trendy vinyl decals are fun to apply Bedding with their most loved characters on it
The transition from a crib to a "big kids" bed can be both a stressful and exciting time. Allowing them to help personalize their own bed will make bed time more inviting and less intimidating.
Building a toddler bed with a good set of plans can be worthwhile for you and your pocket. To top it off, you can make it to be a rewarding bonding experience for you and your child. Finally and most importantly it will make bed time as safe as it can be for your precious child.
