He wants a trampoline in the middle of his room. She wants a tiny dressing table for her Barbie. He wants a rope ladder hooked onto the ceiling. She wants her bed in the shape of Michael Schumacher's four-wheel drive. If you thought that your little ones’ demands are racy, think again. Lifestyle stores are whipping up a virtual tornado in kids' accessories to let you splash joy at home.

The White Window, a home-decor store in Bandra, run by former actress Twinkle Khanna and interior decorator Gurlein Manchanda celebrates childhood through its playful collection of knick knacks, dubbed The White Window Kids.

There are bright sorbet shades in every possible item you could ever think of. From mini step stools to roomy storage chests for stuffing in teddy bears, skittles and dolls; huge polka dotted ceramic piggy banks to low butterfly-shaped play tables in vibrant hues, it’s all there.

If you want to personalise the nursery for your tot, think beyond the Disney paint on the walls. Curious rattles, singing balloons, adorable hair brushes with soft bristles and tiny combs for the newborn jostle with fairytale clocks, dolphin photo-frames and colourful rugs.

If your kid is slightly older, think smart. Walk into Hobby Ideas at Inorbit Mall (Goregaon) or at Kemps Corner and get floored by the multitude of DIY kits. Help your tyke create imprints of his hands and buff and paint the moulds when dry to frame it on the wall. Or better still, get her to string together beads and shells to create decorations for the Winnie the Pooh grill in her room.

Do what it takes, but get innovative. Child's play gives unbeatable joy. Revel in it.
