One of the things I really appreciated about moving into our home last year was the opportunity to decorate my son’s room.  I really enjoyed having our little boy close to us (and most nights he still ends up in our bed at some point during the night) but it was nice to finally move him to his own room.  And because it was something new for him, we needed to build up the excitement so he didn’t view it as something negative (which it isn’t).  We (ahem…my husband) painted it this vibrant shade of blue and put up train decals and a chalkboard and did some other fun things to make the room come alive.

We were recently introduced to a fun, creative, and interactive way to decorate a child’s room.  Wallables are “a Soy-Based Foam Collection of 3-Dimensional Children’s Wall Décor.”   They come in both letters and animals and add some color, music, and depth to a child’s room.  They’re derived from soy beans (which means they’re eco-friendly) and easily attach (and are just as easily removed) to walls, doors, ceilings, etc. (anywhere really!).  The product actually uses a Velcro patch (which my son quickly figured out how to remove from the walls) but I haven’t had any difficulty with it taking paint off the walls.  We (my son and I both) really like how soft and squishy they are.

We received Aero the Airplane which includes a cute little cloud!  The face glows at night and it plays music when pushed.  Children will bask in their bright colors, and the fact that they glow in the dark and play music. Parents will appreciate the multi-sensory stimulation offered by the products.  Wallables “encourage babies and children to explore and grow accustomed to different surfaces and textures.”

The company recently partnered with the Dow Chemical Company to produce a safe and eco-friendly product for families while reducing their carbon footprint.  You can purchase Wallables online and prices range from $7.95 (letters) to $21.45.  Soon they’ll be launching their Disney line (which I’m very excited about!).
