mushie Baby Garland | Nursery Décor, Multi Color

Product Information

While faux garland can look festive and realistic, if you want the smell of fresh greenery, there's nothing better than the real thing. The Fresh Olive Leaf & Myrtle Garland from Pottery Barn is delivered to your door fresh and fragrant and dries out over time. It won't last year after year like artificial garland, but it's a great way to add a natural element to your home for the holiday season and beyond. In short, we love LBG and all of the team, and continue to be impressed. We are excited to see how our daughter continues to grow during her time there. At Garland Road, our babies and older beans spend mealtimes sat all together; enjoying, sharing, socialising and learning with one another during this vital part of the daily routine. Mealtimes are an extremely important part of our Little Beans routine and being a great opportunity to extend communication and language skills with our team. Just as much as family mealtimes at home are important, we can easily see the benefits of regular mealtimes spent with their friends both on a social and emotional development levels as well as improving fine motor skills. Our Little Beans team are on hand to help and support the Little Beans to develop these skills and to help our Little Beans to grow more independent.

We believe that each little bean should feel safe, secure and confident; developing strong roots from which to grow. We seek to provide a stimulating “Enabling” environment that is central to the children’s learning and development. This allows them to flourish, develop and reach their full potential as unique individuals as well as reaching their early learning goals. The roots that are planted during these early years are vital in developing the skills they need to take with them throughout their lives. In addition to the vintage-inspired decorations, the garland comes pre-lit with 50 warm white LED lights that are battery-operated, so you don't have to worry about having a nearby outlet. The timer is located on the battery box and is very simple to operate: press once and the lights will turn on for 6 hours and off for 18, twice to leave them constantly on, and three times to turn off (and reset the timer). Just be sure you set the timer when you want the six hours to start every night, and then you don't have to worry about turning them off and on all holiday season (unless the batteries run out).We pride ourselves on engaging with parents and families to create strong, positive partnerships - after all it is you who know your little beans best! Our family has been using Little Beans Garland (LBG) for almost 7 years. We have had nothing but a positive experience for the whole time. Our children have flourished and have been cared for in every way we could wish. They have been supportive of our family and assisted us in supporting our child's development. The combination of faux Scotch pine ( the national tree of Scotland), pistol pine, and fir branches—all made using molds of live branches and needles—looks full and lush (although the number of branch tips is not listed). Just be sure to reshape them (fluff the branches) when you take them out of the box. Pinecones and bright red berries add additional flair to this stunning holiday decoration.Suitable for indoor and covered outdoor use, the garland is perfect for placing almost anywhere you have the space, since you don't need to worry about an extension cord or outlet. Decorate your fences and other outdoor spaces without worrying about bad weather, with the Red Sleigh Pre-Lit LED Artificial Sequoia Fir Commercial Garland. This is the only weather-resistant (outdoor-rated) garland on our list (all other options are recommended for outdoor covered spaces only). It also has the second most amount of lights on our list with 100 bulbs, so they will shine brightly among the faux fir (the 12-foot Frontgate Christmas Cheer Cordless Garland has 240). It's 14 inches wide and 9 feet long, so this garland will cover a large area. It's plug-in only, with a 2-foot cord, so you will most likely need an outdoor-rated extension cord if you are using it outside.

Pre-lit options are the most convenient, saving you time from buying lights and wrapping them around the garland yourself. You can choose from LED or incandescent lights: LEDs are the most energy-efficient and tend to stay cooler to the touch. However, some people prefer the lighting from incandescent instead. Most of the pre-lit garlands on this list feature LED lights, aside from the Grandin All Is Bright Cordless Garland with UL-listed plug-in lights, and the National Tree Company Artificial Crestwood Spruce Christmas Garland, battery-operated option. Look for a pre-lit garland with a timer if you want to turn it on only once all season (most with timers will turn on for six hours starting at the original time each night and off for 18). The Amenon Pre-Lit Frosted Garlandhas both a timer and a remote and is the only option on our list with a range of speeds and settings, including both clear (white) and multicolored lights. The National Tree Company is known for its realistic-looking artificial Christmas trees and its garlands are just as impressive. We love this faux Crestwood Spruce option that looks like it has icy snow-covered needles in addition to pine cones and red berries, with 240 branch tips that give it a full look (once you fluff some of the branches). It's the perfect choice if you want to bring the outdoors inside so that you can enjoy the garland by a cozy fireplace. You can also use it to decorate a doorway or covered area outdoors, but it's not recommended for full, prolonged exposure to the elements.We think this garland would look perfect on a mantle, doorway, staircase, and more (just note that the manufacturer recommends only putting it in a covered outdoor location, like a front porch, away from direct exposure to the elements). You can also choose a 12-foot option if you need a longer garland or even a matching wreath (sold separately). Also, keep in mind how you intend to place it. Placement on a mantle tends to be the easiest since you can drape it across and don't have to worry about it falling down. Doorways and windows will require special hardware, such as this garland holder from Grandin Road, while others can simply be hung with ribbons or other removable hanging strips.

Hand-crafted in California from olive leaves and fresh myrtle, this arrangement is unique both in its fragrance and its appearance. Before buying, it's important to note that this garland is about 6 feet long, which is shorter than other options on this list and is best for indoor use. However, the manufacturer says that the garland can be displayed outdoors as long as it's protected from wet weather and humidity—but it may not last as long. Also, keep in mind that dried garlands will shed when being handled or transported, so expect a little fallout from this one. I am very happy with the care of both of my girls. Amy has always been present and helpful if we have had any concerns. All nursery staff have always been easy to approach and friendly. I would always recommend to friends. We focus on building secure, positive and strong relationships between children and their key person. This gives children the support and assurance they need to grow and shine in all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Theo has continually developed and markedly grown in confidence joining last year. The daily activities and themes of the month are varied and engaging. Staff support and encouragement him to be independent. Soon after joining he learnt to feed himself using a spoon or fork, and was washing his own hands. Most importantly for us, Theo loves each day that he spends at the nursery.

The monthly newsletter is a life saver to me as I can see what meals they are having on a weekly basis and what they are celebrating that week. The communication provided by the nursery is very positive. Reading Tapestry provides a really good insight into their day and it's great to share with the boys when they're at home. I also like the extra activities you provide. Music, French, Cooking and Dance is well received - especially from ***** who talks lots about those elements of the day. Staff are also very friendly and welcoming. ***** talks fondly of the different practitioners who have supported him and I know ***** has built some strong relationships with everyone in the Baby room.

Turn your mantle into the most festive space year-round with this light-up garland from West Elm. The embedded wire makes it easy to fit around curves and edges, so it fits perfectly in your space. It only features 30 lights (the least amount of the pre-lit options on this list), but the golden leaves help add to the sparkle. We think this garland would also look great layered over green garland, or on an artificial Christmas tree, for use around the holidays. Little Beans Garland was designed with a specific vision by the two owners with learning and the environment at the very heart of their project - Little Beans Garland. Every inch designed and set out to maximise free flow and play opportunities for all our Little Beans. I'm really pleased with the provision that's provided for both my boys. It's a nurturing environment that is welcoming and fun to be in. I really like the range of activities on offer for both boys because it provides a good balance in terms of their interests. Aside from the multiple lighting options, it's also full and almost overflowing with decorations, including berries, frosted pinecones, and frosted branches (220 branch tips). With that in mind, if you like a minimalistic, simple look, this is not the best option for you. But if you like being able to customize the lighting and change it from the comfort of your couch, this is an excellent option.

Builds knowledge & skills

Little Beans have taken care of all 4 of my children over the years, my youngest 2 still attend Little Beans in a weekly basis. All of the staff are so welcoming and can handle the difficulties of upset children going through the doors. Aside from the lighting, it is undecorated, but you can add your own ornaments or bows (just make sure they are also weather-resistant if used outdoors). Although this is one of our most expensive options, there is a 10-year warranty on the greenery and three years on the lights. Heavy-duty wire inside the branches helps keep their shape (280 branch tips included). Some branches will need fluffing to appear more realistic, so set aside plenty of time for the task. Also, there is no timer included, so you will have to turn it on manually each day. There is not a single fault with Little Beans and if I ever decide to have any more children they will 100% be attending Little Beans. It is a fantastic nursery and they deserve all the praise I could give them!
