Delightful Ceiling Fans for Children
Many parents design great kid rooms for their children,
because they want them to experience all the delights of
childhood. However, in their decorating, they often fail to
consider adding a decorative ceiling fan. Children enjoy the
comforts provided by a ceiling fan, whether it is soft
breezes in the summer or the circulation of heat in the
winter, just as much as adults do. Besides, you’ll find a
plethora of great ceiling fans designed just with kids in
mind. Whatever theme you’ve used in creating your child’s
private retreat, there will be a ceiling fan that will
complement the décor and add to the excitement of the room.
The Trusted Name of Westinghouse
Westinghouse offers three different ceiling fans for
children; two for boys and one for girls. Both of them are
smaller versions of the fans you put into the rest of the
house and have 30” blade spans. If you want, you can also
add a light kit and a remote control.
The Westinghouse model for girls is based on a ballerina
theme. The blade is designed with the laces of ballet shoes
pulled up into a graceful heart in shades of pink and
lavender. The main part of the fan is white, though, so the
fan won’t over-power a smaller room. Any little girl would
love lying in bed, looking at this beautiful fan above her,
and dreaming prima ballerina dreams.
For boys Westinghouse makes two different ball-themed fans.
The baseball fan has bats on the blades, and the attached
light is painted to resemble a baseball. The fan is done
mostly in white with red accents. The soccer fan, on the
other hand, has a design that’s much bolder and showier.
Each blade is decorated with a soccer ball motif, and the
light is a black and white soccer ball. This particular fan
could be overwhelming. If you like the soccer theme,
however, you’ll find a soccer fan made by Craftmade that is
much sleeker-looking with 52” black blades.
Other Sports Theme Ceiling Fans
Many companies make fans using sports themes which are not
only popular with children, but also with sports lovers of
all ages. Craftmade makes a fan centered around a
baseball-shaped globe with wood blades finished in a
great-looking dark finish. As with most Energy Star fans, it
has a blade span of 52”.
Hunter also produces a baseball-themed fan with a
high-output motor and a 44” blade span with four reversible
blades. The motor housing is in the form of a die-cast
catcher’s mitt, and the lighting kit includes a 19-watt
fluorescent baseball globe fixture. The fan also comes with
a ceiling mount in the shape of home plate and can be
adapted for wall or remote control.
A Walk in the Jungle
Maybe you’ve created a clever jungle scene in your son’s
room. Why not heighten the excitement by adding a Bengal
ceiling fan from Monte Carlo? This fan will bring all the
thrill and intensity of the wild things right into the room
with it. The Bengal has a 52” blade span, and you can buy a
light kit and remote control to go with it. Another Monte
Carlo jungle offering is its Cheetah fan. This fan presents
a gentler jungle image with cute hand-painted cheetahs on
the blades and housing. It would be darling in a younger
animal lover’s room.
It’s Winnie the Pooh!
Nothing is going to help your little one sleep better than
knowing that his friend, Pooh, is watching him from above.
Winnie the Pooh and his friends are some of the most beloved
of all the children’s characters, and there are many
versions of a Pooh fan available. Most of these fans have
vividly-decorated blades depicting scenes of Pooh and
company, some featuring the classic Pooh, and others using
the Disney characters. What young child wouldn’t look having
a fan like this in his or her room?
Faraway Places
One of the most exotic fans that are marketed for children
is the Serengeti by Monte Carlo. The motor housing is
hand-crafted of authentic rattan is equipped with 3 forward
and reverse speeds. The blades, which have a span of 52”,
are oversized and shaped like butterflies. The motor has
been specially designed to compensate for the large blades
without wobbling. If you’re looking for a fan to go with a
more tropical theme, try the Islander by Fanimation with
palm leaf fan blades and an optional light kit painted with
tropical birds.
High-Quality Sci-Fi Fans from Modern Fan Company
If you have a child who’s into fantasy and flying saucers,
you should check out the UFO model by Modern Fan Company.
This fan looks like the fan-of-the-future with titanium
housing and blades, a stylized look, and a round
landing-light fixture. As your child looks up, he’ll feel
like there’s a UFO actually landing in his room. Just think
of the flights of imagination this could spark. The fan also
comes in an all-white version. There are no pull-chains on
this fan, so it must be operated using a wall switch or
remote control.
By doing an online search, you’ll be able to find hundreds
of different ceiling fan models that were designed to
enhance curiosity and create imaginative thoughts. Whether
you have a little girl who wants to be a ballerina or a
fairy princess, or a little boy who adores cars or
camouflage, you’ll find fans which will fit right into the
theme you’ve created. There are so many children’s ceiling
fans available that you may have a hard time choosing.
