Ladybug Parade Sage Quilted 9 Piece Crib Set

More Info

Children and ladybugs have enjoyed a long friendship. Once parents and teachers wised up to this fact, they pressed these bright and beautiful insects into service. Countless websites now offer free lesson plans to educators which include ideas about how to use ladybugs to help kids learn just about any subject.

Elementary school students study how pest-devouring ladybugs help establish healthy ecosystems for commercial farmers and backyard gardeners alike. English lessons often include discussions of the ladybug's status as a good luck symbol. Math classes study the size and shape of the bugs.

In 2008, scientists at Cornell University, in cooperation with The National Geographic Society, called upon American children to hunt for ladybugs in their neighborhoods and report their findings online in order to help track the insects' fluctuating populations. Thousands of budding entomologists complied.

Your little one may not be ready for field research just yet, but in the meantime JoJo Designs' cute and cozy Ladybug Parade collection will keep your promising scholar safe and warm. This package of soft 100% cotton bedding and coordinated accessories builds a cheerful nursery that will please the eye and fire the imagination--and all for an astonishingly reasonable price.

Rich red, black, white and sage comprise the whole of this set. The quilt's top features a lively pageant of spotted ladybug appliques marching across a width of crisp white, above a ruffled overlay of homey black and white gingham. Each image is masterfully outlined to ensure maximum "pop". The blanket's sage center includes whimsical spiral quilting, which enhances the set's playful feel.

A wrap around bumper repeats the comforter's design. The entire piece is piped with "ladybug red", backed with sage, and finished with matching ties. The gently gathered sage dust ruffle is trimmed with red piping and gingham respectively. A fitted white sheet completes the linen group.

Not much study required to realize that this ensemble is a very lucky find.
