Childs bed - long shot!

Looking for a theme bed for my 2 year old. Scoured the Internet looking at Singapore stores and can't find what I want.

Before I try and import something anyone know where I might find a 'Dora the Explorer' theme bed in SG?

IKEA? I know they have space-themed bed and flower-themed bed for children. Or are you referring to themed set (pillow case, bed sheet, blanket)?

No Droa in IKEA lynx, my daughter would have been hounding me on any of my last visits they seem to be more generic themes rather than characters.

What about t'internet? I think bedding is a bit of a misnomer here!

Yes, I am loking for the bed itself. I can certainly find them on the Internet for importing just wondered if anyone had seen them locally.

IKEA don't have a Dora bed according to their web site

Looks like its an Internet purchase because only Dora will ensure complete satisfaction and hopefully many blissfully sleepy nights

Can't you get a normal bed from IKEA and cover it in Dora stickers or something? could be a lot cheaper

Or DIY?

You know, some carpentering and painting work?

Well I posted a topic on DIY recently and certainly I am pretty handy at electrics, plumbing and car mechanics but trust me you would not want to see my carpentry skills!!!

Kids are easily fooled sometimes! My son wanted a box for his Beybladesa while ago, they sell official ones for like $50 or something, I thought they were a bit pricey, so I got a $2 tool box from Daiso and stuck some $5 Beyblade stickers on it and he was made up - Dad saved $43 and Son got what he was after! Let's hope he never shows it to his friends in the know

And he's not 2 anymore, but still easily lead!

Knowing my two, you could even get some stickers from the shop and let her decorate her own Dora bed, keep her busy for a while and gets the job done!

What about making bigger vinyl stickers yourself? Like here

You can even make it more interesting by getting a Dora-themed bedding set. The kind of stuff you can find in cheapo bedding store!
