Unique Ceiling Fans for Kids

The Solar System Above

• If you're designing the room of a budding astronomer or astronaut and want to encourage his interest and inspiration of the subject, you can seek out a ceiling fan that shows all of the planets of our solar system. With blades adorned with painted planet renderings, your little one can drift off to sleep imagining his own future space flight.

A Fan for the Sports Fan

• Budding athletes or rabid young sports fans can choose their favorite sports team as a theme for their ceiling fan's decorative blades. They may choose sports in general with blades bearing images of basketballs, footballs and baseballs, or they may choose their favorite sports team or college sports organization.

Glow in the Dark Blades

• Not unlike the concept of adding glow in the dark ceiling stars, you can give your child's room an interesting nighttime glow, which may be helpful if you have a young child who has anxiety in a pitch black room.

Something for the Blossoming Ballerina

• Your developing dancer may fall asleep with visions of sugar plum fairies and swans as she watches the long-limbed, elegant dancers pirouette on the blades.

Propeller Kids Ceiling Fan

• This fan is the cream of the imaginative ceiling fan crop. The blades act as the propellers of a plane flying overhead, as wings extend to the sides, and it is like your child is looking up, face forward, at a plane each night. If your child is interested in becoming a pilot or in engineering, this fan can serve as a great daily inspiration through its intricate design.

Decorate or Design Your Own

• If you have a perfectly good ceiling fan that features bland blades, and you have a creative touch, you can paint a blade design specifically suited to your child's imagination. She can even help you. If she has a favorite cartoon, book or film series, you can paint those designs. Or you can create something out of the pockets of your child's imagination.
