Whether it’s a jungle jaunt or a trek across the savannah, kids love to pretend they’re having exotic adventures. I know my boys would love a room in which they could pretend that a lion was lurking around the corner. With these safari-themed pieces, you can bring the great African outdoors in. — Rita from Fighting Off Frumpy
