Elliot’s Sky-High Adventure

Meet Elliot, a charming elephant with a passion for the skies, dressed in full vintage aviator style. His collection comes in two delightful variations: the neutral-toned Elliot and the vibrant Elliot Blue Dreams. Picture him soaring among clouds, his trunk ready for takeoff, bringing a dad-approved, nature-inspired vibe to your elephant nursery. The 50” × 60” Sherpa blankets offer plush warmth, the 14” faux suede pillows add whimsical charm, and the 60” × 60” round area rugs create a perfect tummy time or play surface. Each piece, crafted with my signature storytelling touch, is print-to-order and available at kikicolors.com/kikibabyanimaladventures.

Her collection features two neutral designs: Standing, where she proudly displays her floral crown, and Laying Down, resting peacefully amid blooms. Ideal for a woodland-themed nursery, Flora’s items bring serene beauty to your little dreamer’s space. The Sherpa blankets wrap them in softness, the faux suede pillows add a playful accent, and the round area rugs invite Montessori play. Explore her world at kikicolors.com/kikibabyanimaladventures.

The rise of elephant and woodland nurseries on Pinterest reflects a growing love for nature-inspired, vintage aesthetics in baby spaces. Elephants symbolize strength and wisdom, making them a favorite for bold nursery accents, while woodland themes with deer and flowers evoke a cozy, storybook feel. These trends align with the Montessori approach, emphasizing safe, engaging play areas like tummy time mats. At Kiki Baby, I’ve embraced this by designing products that blend functionality with my handmade heritage—think of my recent crocheted pink blanket for my niece Luiza, due in August, as a personal nod to this craft.

With love, always
