Posters for wall in child's room
Just wondering what types of posters would be suitable to put on the wall of a child's play/educational room? I have a numbers one with 1-10, an alphabet one, an endangered species poster, and a map of Australia. The walls still look a bit bare, any ideas of what else to put up? Is it best if we stick with these sorts of posters, or put up things like wall stickers of Disney characters and that sort of thing?

Re: Posters for wall in child's room
Hi, I wouldn't get too worried about sorting things into 'educational' and 'non-educational'. Sounds like you've got a good sample so far. (In pre-baby days, I always joked that I'd put up a Periodic Table of the Elements in our baby's room - you should have seen my man's face when he realised I wasn't kidding! But I'm a first class nerd, so there you go...) Apart for the Periodic Table for nerd's children only... we also got lots of great, cheap pictures just from buying calenders and cutting them up. I got a few from the previous year which were on special. You can get animals, landscapes, cars, anything. I got a Cat in the Hat one from the previous year for $2.95 for 12 pictures! I also got some blank greeting cards and put them in cheap frames from the discount store. I had a theme, which was the E H Shephard Winnie the Pooh (the originals, not the colourful Disney ones). I was able to find the pictures which matched some of bub's favourite Pooh stories. I put them up one the wall - in the little frames they look really good. One other things with the posters - check that most of them are at child eye level, not adult eye level, or bub will never see them! Good luck! Hope things go well.

Re: Posters for wall in child's room
You dont say how old your child is (or are you pregnant still?) but if they are able to make any kind of mark, I think it's great to let them create at least one poster themselves. If they're too young to make anything other than a pattern, you can cut it into a shape (eg tree, fish, sunshine) before sticking it up. We've just today taken down lots of fish we decorated the unpainted Hallway wall with two summers ago (about 30 of them!) and put up a strip of lining wallpaper. DD1 (5) is cutting pictures out of magazines & junk mail on the theme of "garden" and gluing them up. When it looks tatty we will replace it with something else. When DH worked in the US for 2 weeks when DD1 was about 2 we did a calendar along the wall so she could see how long he'd been gone and how long before he came back, with pictures to show our activities for each day. I think it helped her see the return date approaching, as she missed him tons (me too!)! If you're still pregant or baby is too small to scribble yet, then try doing a collage from junk mail yourself with things YOU like or think baby will be interested in, eg teddy, daddy, sunshine, juice cup, bottle, birdy, doggy, telly! It'll give you something else to talk about to baby!
