AmandaHill — Sun, 24 May 2009 01:00:00 GMT

By now, you probably know that I am all about wall art for kids. When I saw this 8.5" by 11" print, I was head over heels. The combination of browns, greens and blues is so gorgeous. It's definitely a conversation piece.

Decor for Your Little Count (Ah Ah Ah!)

Heather Kuldell — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 21:04:00 GMT

Letters get a lot love on Droolicious, but my little boy loves numbers. If your kids prefer the 123s to the ABCs, check out the Sycamore Street Press Letterpress Number Poster. This clean, modern poster features chocolate brown san-serif numbers with corresponding amounts of apple-green animals. And it's not your average computer print-out: Each piece of renewable cotton paper is fed individually through a vintage letterpress. The raised types and shapes of the press cut into the paper leaving both color and texture.

The 11-by-14-inch print is $30, and available in a few other color combinations. And, if you really love letters, a coordinating alphabet version is available too. Either one — or both — makes a sweet baby-shower gift for any graphic-design loving parents out there.

Art for Kids: Elephants in Love Print

AmandaHill — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 00:00:00 GMT

As a parent, it has always been important to me that my daughters walls have been adorned with engaging prints. Recently, I discovered a Etsy shop that has amazing prints like the one seen above called 'Elephants in Love'.

The shope Barking Bird Art has a plethora of engaging prints that would look great on the wall of a nursery or a child's bedroom. I think they would even look cute in a guest room or kitchen. Either way, click over to Barking Bird Art to check them out.

CES 2009: Canon Selphy Portable Printers

Chris Ford — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 19:30:00 GMT

Canon has updated their Selphy portable printers, and for some people a printer that only prints 4x6 pictures might be overkill. But for families I think they're pretty great.

All the Selphy printers use dye-sublimation printing and (in my judgement) make great looking 4x6 prints. Two units the ES3 (on the left) and the ES30 use a cartridge system, which keeps the paper and "ink" (dye really) all in one unit. So there's never a situation where you run out of ink before you run out of paper or vice versa. The CP770 (on the right) and CP760 use a separate dye and paper system. All of them are portable, and they even have features where you can put borders, words and other "creative" things onto the prints - a feature particularly good for kids.

The printers take all forms of cards directly from your camera as well as the Pict Bridge system or a USB connection to your computer. The prints will cost you about $0.28 per print.

Prices range from $99.99 to $199.99. Check them out at USA.Canon.com.

Eco-friendly Duck Print

AmandaHill — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 03:08:00 GMT

The engaging dyes are eco-friendly and water-based, while the background is stretched over a 3/4 inch frame. This great print from Amenity would be a great addition to a child's bedroom or even a bathroom. Click on over to order yours.

Adopt Some Woodland Critters

SunnyChanel — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:21:00 GMT

A while back I did a post on John W. Golden’s brilliant By Order of The Management prints. Well he’s captured my shopoholic heart yet again with his Woodland Critters Series. If you’re not feeling the trio above, you can also adopt a skunk, beaver or bee hive among oodles of others. With your purchase you get three 8.5 x 11 animal illustrations and you can mix and match and pick the creatures you or your little one wants for your walls. The problem will be trying to decide on just three. $50 for a trio.

Tootsie Pop Art

Lisa Mulcahy — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:28:00 GMT

Design themes for nurseries, bedrooms and play rooms come and go. But if you keep it classic, it’s easy to create a look that will last. I’m still hooked on vintage signs and advertising so I couldn’t pass up this art collection.

The Grocery Store Series by artist Todd Lim celebrates the best of Americana brands. Reddi-Whip, Hellmann’s, Fluff, my favorite Tootsie Pop, and more, there’s something warm and fuzzy about these prints. Like the smell of home-baked cookies, Lim’s work is comfort food for the home. Because the prints are original and numbered they are pretty pricey at $600. But if you’ve got it, go for it.

Let the Animals Teach Your Kids the ABCs

SunnyChanel — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:44:00 GMT

Here is another stunning print pick for instilling into your kids a love for letters. The graphic artist Jenn Ski’s designed these lovely A (for Alligator) B (for Bird) and C (for Crab) for you and your little ones delight and education. The digital prints are signed and numbered and include a certificate of authenticity. You wouldn’t want people to think your A-B-Cs were F-A-K-Es. $75 for the Set.

Look Ma, I Can Count! (Part 2)

SunnyChanel — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 18:32:00 GMT

Like a mixed media Garanimals, instead of matching your kids shirt and pants, match their dress (see the Numbers dress here) to their wall art. To hammer in those one, two, and threes for the fourth, fifth and sixth times, get this whimsical and wondrous Numbers Poster by the designers at Binth. ($69.00 - comes from Australia) And in keeping with our Eco-Friendly theme this week, the high quality paper is recycled, the colors are mixed by hand and they only use water-based inks. Now that’s a piece of art that adds up.

Obey Me! By Order of the Management Prints Sets the Rules

SunnyChanel — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 14:06:00 GMT

If I have to tell my kid “Share Your Toys” one more time, I might just do something crazy and go get that phrase tattooed boldly across my forehead. But instead of going under the needle and soliciting awkward stares at the supermarket, I think I should just get the By Order of the Management Series by the artist John W Golden to hang all around the house. “Eat Your Vegetables”, “Clean Up Your Room”, “Wash Behind Your Ears”, “Share Your Toys”, words for your kid and you to live by. $180 for a set of four 10.8 inches x 18 inches prints.

7 Days Of Kids' Rooms: Old School Stationers Prints

Leigh-Ann Jackson — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 14:00:00 GMT

They're not babies, not yet tweens (what an awfully lame word, btw). So, you still have some time to flex your decorating muscle before the heartthrob or wrestler/fast car/manga warrior posters start to clutter their walls. Try Old School Stationers letter press wall prints.

According to their site, each piece is hand-drawn by Brian Reed, owner of the Portland-based studio, then printed on a century-old press (you can scarcely get more old school than that).

They have a gorgeous array of bird prints, but I'm partial to the more boy-friendly pieces like this one...

Each comes ready to hang with wood frame backing.

$42 each, Hazel Wood Children.

Wall Art: Original Prints For Your Child's Room

chrisjordan — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 19:01:00 GMT

Limited edition fine art photographs by Elle Moss would be a nice accent in any nursery. Prints are 8" x 7" and are printed on archival quality paper.

Shown above are Ellie and Kat. Below is French Kitty.

Along with several others, these prints are available at Torch Light LMS for $20

Thank Heaven For (Sarah Jane Studios') Little Girls

Leigh-Ann Jackson — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 14:00:00 GMT

This makes me think back fondly to the days when playing dress-up had zero to do with the pre-packaged trappings of Disney's Princess du Jour. The print (which comes signed and dated) takes it back to the old-school with Sunday Best dresses and play "pearls" and heels on loan from mom, aunties and grannies. It's delicate, demure and delightful — a piece that's girly without activating my usual girly gag reflex.

$20, Sarah Jane Studios.

A Is For APAK Animal Art

Leigh-Ann Jackson — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 14:00:00 GMT

The whole family just visited Giant Robot's Biennale exhibit here in L.A. (if you're in the area, it's a must for little art lovers). One of our favorite featured artists was husband-and-wife design team, APAK. Much to our delight, the Portland-based artists sell their prints on Etsy.com. Their series of animal prints — while a bit of a departure from the Asian-influenced work featured at the exhibit — make great bed/playroom art.

$10 each, Etsy.
