Quick answer
Hang the Maileg Moon above the crib or changing table at a safe height, using a sturdy hook or adhesive strip, and pair it with a Tooth Fairy Mouse in its pocket for a soothing bedtime focal point.
Why the Maileg Moon works in a nursery
The Maileg Moon is a fabric crescent moon with delicate embroidery and a soft texture, designed to bring comfort and a feeling of safety. Its gentle presence can help little ones drift off to sleep, making it more than just décor—it's a functional part of a calming bedtime routine.
Because it's lightweight and fabric, it's safer than heavier decorations, but you still need to secure it properly to avoid any risk of falling.
Where to place it for maximum effect
The best spots are above the crib (but out of reach), above the changing table, or on a wall visible from the rocker. Avoid placing it directly over a crib where it could be pulled down, and keep it away from cords or ties that could pose a strangulation hazard.
Consider the sight line from the floor or a rocker—the moon should be at a height where it's easily seen but not within grabbing distance.
Step-by-step display guide
- Choose the right spot: Pick a wall that is visible from the crib or rocker but out of the baby's reach. Avoid placing it directly over the crib or near any cords. Measure the distance from the floor to ensure it's above 3 feet if you have a toddler who might reach.
- Select a secure mounting method: Use a small nail or screw, or a heavy-duty adhesive strip rated for the moon's weight. The moon is lightweight, but ensure the hook is firmly anchored to the wall. Test the hook by gently tugging it before hanging the moon.
- Hang the moon at the right height: Position the moon so that its bottom edge is at least 12 inches below the ceiling and above the crib rail. For a wall display, center it at eye level when sitting in a rocker. Use a pencil to mark the spot and double-check with a level.
- Add the Tooth Fairy Mouse: Place a Tooth Fairy Mouse in the moon's tiny pocket to create a whimsical focal point. This also gives you an easy way to change the décor for different seasons or moods. Ensure the mouse is securely tucked in so it doesn't fall out.
- Style around the moon: Complement the moon with soft, neutral colors or other celestial-themed décor like stars or clouds. Avoid cluttering the wall—let the moon be the centerpiece. Step back and view the display from the doorway to ensure it feels balanced.
