Narnian Nursery

We are working on a Narnian nursery for our little one! I haven't quite decided on colors yet, but overall, I have lots of ideas!

This is a place to kind of keep track of them...

Narnian shields carry a red lion rampant on a white or silver field. There is a reference however to a red lion on a green ground being used on a banner.

From the books it seems that Narnian colors were greens, yellows, and silver.

These are some of the good creatures that inhabit Narnia. The most important ones (at least to me) are starred:
  • *Beaver
  • Dwarf
  • *Centaur
  • *Deer/Stag (white stag)
  • Dog
  • Donkey
  • Dragon
  • Dryad/Naiad (tree spirit)
  • Eagle
  • Elephant
  • *Fuan
  • Fox
  • *Horse
  • Leopard
  • ***Lion
  • Marshwiggle
  • Merfolk
  • Mouse
  • *Owl
  • Robin
  • Sprites
  • *Squirrel
  • *Unicorn
  • *Winged Horse
  • Wolf


Here are some things you might find in the landscape of Narnia:

  • Castle (on the sea, Cair Paravel)
  • Trees (Narnia looks quite a bit like Oregon, actually!)
  • Lamppost
  • Old Sailing ships (see Dawn Treader)

Here are some things one should never find in a Narnian Nursery or on a Narnian baby (because Amy really doesn't like them):

  • Winnie the Pooh (sorry, I know it's popular but I've always disliked his rather insipid nature)
  • Teddy Bears (again never liked them, perhaps because of Winnie the Pooh)
