look for some cool decals / stickers
You could make it plain and get the kid to decorate it? Might be a fun afternoon.
I fondly remember my self decorated and stickered "batman" bike. Still ranks up in my top 3 coolest bikes.

Frame looks fairly easy to take apart, so maybe give it a sand and a coat of paint to remove the flowers?

Doesn't really warrant it's own thread, but I picked up this balance bike for £1 at a boot sale. Had planned to pick up a metal one at some point, but a quid and the cost of replacement bearings seemed too cheap to pass up.
The seller said the rear needed to be "tightened up"? Lol... there's no bearing on the drive side.
Gave it a quick clean and now I need to find the appropriate replacement bearings for the rear wheel. Although I think I may as well replace them all.
Other upgrades/making it a bit less princessie:
If anyone can suggest appropriate grips it'd be appreciated.
