Stick
'Em Up
Forget
color and shades of gray – newborns like contrast, so seeing
things in black and white is just their speed. The equation, which
caught on a few years back when this preference first came in vogue,
went something like this: Black-and-white mobile = smart baby =
genius kid = hot preschool = future Harvard alumnus.
It didn't matter what the actual shapes were – scary faces,
silly stick drawings, tedious patterns – contrast was the key,
no matter its effect on the nursery decor. So you sacrificed beauty
for brains, and wound up with lots of boring, but mentally stimulating
"art" hanging from the walls and ceiling.
Parents today have a much better option. Wee Gallery, founded by
artist Surya Sajnani, features hand-painted original works of art
that take advantage of the visual strengths of infants. Sajnani
created the images for her own child (a fish, giraffe, owl, snail,
peacock, cat and elephant) with patterns designed to interest baby
at different stages.
The line includes a mobile, flash cards, stationery, and fun wall
graphics featuring an oversized, very cool giraffe, and an excellent
elephant. With these decals, you can create a custom wall design
anywhere in your baby's nursery with a simple peel-and-stick motion.
And should you decide you're ready for a different look, no problem.
The decals are removable and can be repositioned in a new location.
Never has applying oneself been so easy.
