Groovy wall decals for babies

Usually room decorations for kids range from twee to terrifyingly branded. But Wee Gallery produces wall graphics - along with art cards and mobiles - that stimulate babies with black and white drawings of squirrels, butterflies, fish and more, in swirly shapes. They're an alternative to the lovely yet ubiquitous Manhattan Toys' black and white Infant Stim Mobile.

The creators are Dave Pinto, a teacher, and Surya Sajnani, a graphic designer, who started producing the cards and other items after the response they got from their son Sid.

Of course there are all kinds of studies showing that high-contrast patterns are as exciting to babies as lower mortgage rates are to grown-ups. But rather than banging on about doing flash card drills to educate your 2 month old, I say get the wall decals to give yourself a stylish break from cutesy-poo puppies motifs.

Don't most women wind up keeping score with the MIL? lol

Much prefer those to the usual boring pastels,even if I'm dubious about precisely how stimulating they are for an infant

I quite like them. Can't stand the usual pastel wishy-washy stuff. We had some wall stickers - I forget where from - that stuck on and peeled off really well when you wanted to change them. We had circus first, then Thomas the Tank, then spaceships (which are still there). Excellent.

When my mother in law saw the baby's room after we'd done it, she said, in a shocked voice, "Do you want this baby to SLEEP?"

I grinned and said that babies liked primary colours. Ours slept fine. 1-0 to me. Not that I keep score against m-i-l or anything. Oh no.

They look to me like the kind of thing that you stumble upon when deep in an LSD-induced hallucination sequence...
according to the movies I've seen, anyway....
