Well, pastels are out. So, just go with bright primary colors or a jungle theme (those appeal to boys and girls).

    What would you think about doing a section of a wall with blackboard paint ? It doesn’t even have to have the dull black board color. Now the paint can be purchased in different colors– a nice sage green even–and if you cannot locate the special color paints in a store, check out Martha Stewart magazine archive for a formula to create special color chalkboard paint. Enjoy decorating for such a fun reason!

    1] assign each kid a color – for storage bins, toothbrushes, laundry baskets, etc.
    2] put little ‘girl’ toys in [ for instance ] red bins. Big boy toys in blue, unisex in bright yellow, and games in bright green.
    Baby toys can switch to dolls etc later; unisex can be blocks, animals, etc.
    3] get table and 2-4 chairs [ in crayon colors? or natural wood ], and 2 sets of shelves – one for books; one for games, coloring books, etc.
    [ blue for books, green for games? or all in natural woods - natural can be re-cycled into another room later ]
    4] paint room in light yellow or light green, washable paint
    5] get stain proof carpet [ no eating in playroom? ]
    7] bright curtains in crayon colors
    8] crayon color framed artwork by son and daughter for walls – red, blue, yellow, green
