Cricut for Baby & Nursery
Create adorable onesies, wall decals, milestone blankets, and nursery decor. Safety tips included for baby-safe crafting.
👶 Baby Safety First!
When making items for infants, always use CPSIA-compliant, infant-safe materials. Standard HTV may contain chemicals not safe for babies. Look for products specifically labeled "infant safe" or "CPSIA compliant."

🛡️ Safety Tips
HTV Safety
Only use CPSIA-compliant, phthalate-free HTV for baby clothes. Check product labels!
Placement
Keep HTV designs away from baby's face and mouth area. Center chest or back is best.
Testing
Always wash test items before gifting. Some HTV isn't truly infant-safe despite claims.
Wall Decals
Use removable vinyl in nursery. Easy to remove without damage as styles change.
Small Parts
Avoid small cutouts that could become choking hazards if they come off.
