As a parent, there’s no better feeling than watching your child sleep peacefully. But come summer, we all know how restless the nights can get especially for babies and toddlers. Sticky skin, cranky naps, and rooms that feel like ovens by midday? Not fun.
We’ve been there. That’s exactly why we created a range of summer-friendly kids' bedding, curtains for baby rooms, and light baby quilts and dohars to help parents like us build breezy, breathable spaces for our little ones.
Whether you're setting up a nursery for a newborn, updating your toddler's bed, or reworking your child’s playroom, here's how you can make their room cooler, calmer, and totally summer-ready.
1. Go Natural With Breathable Fabrics
Summer calls for softness and breathability. Say goodbye to synthetics and opt for 100% cotton bedding sets for toddlers or children's bedsheets that allow the skin to breathe.
All our Zookeeper bedding for babies is made with ultrasoft 300TC cotton sateen a material that’s smooth to the touch, gentle on delicate skin, and cool even on the warmest nights.
Bonus? They’re machine-washable and lab-tested for non-toxic dyes. Because sticky summers should never mean compromised safety.
2. Layer Light With Baby Quilts and Blankets
Instead of bulky duvets, layer up with our lightweight baby forest quilts or vibrant animal print blankets. Not only are these tropical forest bedding options cooler for summer, but they’re also inspired by real wildlife from cheetahs to elephants bringing a burst of the wild indoors.
Parents love our nature-inspired quilts for kids, and little ones love spotting their favorite animals on their beds. It’s educational, imaginative, and oh-so-cute.
“My toddler won't sleep without her cheetah quilt. It's her jungle friend at bedtime!” – A happy Zookeeper parent
3. Block the Glare With Nursery Curtains
Sunlight streaming into the room can wake up babies early and make nap time a challenge. Our curtains for baby rooms are more than just decor they’re made to block out harsh light while keeping the room airy.
Choose from baby room curtains in gentle shades or playful prints like our nursery curtains for girls or kids' room curtains with forest motifs. These soft, breathable fabrics keep the room cool while doubling up as storytelling pieces.
4. Create a Corner That Grows With Them
We always say: a kid’s room isn’t just for sleeping it’s for dreaming, playing, and growing. Our sports-themed height chart and jungle wall art add both function and fun. Let your child track their growth with a wall hanging height chart, or mark special milestones with a children’s sports room accessory that celebrates movement and health.
Add a growth chart for boys or a height measurement chart for kids to their reading nook or next to their play tent it’s a small touch that makes a big memory.
5. Make It Personal, Make It Theirs
Whether it’s a transport themed bedsheet, a baby quilt or a cheerful bed cover, let your child choose the prints and animals they love. At Zookeeper, we offer bedding sets for toddlers with jungle animals, underwater divers, and tropical forests. .
Our curated collections are designed for real homes,messy, playful, loving ones just like yours. They're not just Pottery Barn Kid bedding alternatives; they’re stories your children can sleep in.
We created Zookeeper because of our own son’s love for animals. Today, we hope to pass on that love through every product we make each kid's bedsheet, toddler quilt, and curtain for baby rooms we design.
Summer doesn’t have to mean sweaty nights or restless naps. With thoughtful fabrics, a little storytelling, and a touch of the jungle, your child's room can be a cool, cozy retreat they actually want to spend time in.
So from one parent to another: build them a room that breathes. A room that dreams. A room that roars.
