Kids Murals Inspire Children's Imagination.

Story is important and powerful at any age. Kids murals make their rooms into life size storybooks. Creating with your children is a wonderful bonding time too.

Gift of Brush

I knew a teacher's aide once whose mother painted children's wall murals for each of her grandchildren. Can you imagine your children growing up in a room with painted art by grandma, grandpa, mom, dad, an uncle or aunt? Think of the gift! I didn't have that happen, but I think it would have become a fond childhood memory. Don't worry if you don't have someone in the family who could serve as artist. There are other people and other ways to get a fun scene on your kids' walls.

Flea Market Brainstorming

One place to just check for children's wall murals and related ideas is eBay. It's a great place to prime your imagination pump. Depending on the item you're looking for, you might even find something you love!

Paint by Number

Do you remember when you were a child wondering what the picture would turn out to be after connecting the dots? It was always fun finding out. It just so happens that this is similar to a way you and your kids can transform a wall. Wall Nutz offers you paint-by-number kits for children's wall murals. Creative for Kids is another source for these types of kids murals as is Elephants on the Wall.

Where to Buy

Find one of the largest collection of kids murals at Murals Your Way. They've got 900+ children's wall murals for your viewing pleasure. Some murals from their other categories might suit your children as well. One of the fun things about this website is that you can preview a mural in a room setting. The lamps and furniture are not "real," but it does give you a sense of what the mural might look like in a generic room, if not your child's room. Suppose you find one you like, but the size isn't quite right? Well, they've got a cropping tool to create the right size mural from the image you like. Very cool. These murals are on commercial grade vinyl wallpaper.

You may really have your heart set on a painted kids mural, but don't have someone in your circle that can do what you want. That's often the case. A good resource is the International Directory of Decorative Painters. This directory will help you locate a local mural painter to suit your needs.

Not So Permanent

Suppose you'd like painted kids murals but you want to preserve your walls. Commission a mural painted on canvas which attaches to the wall (can be removed). There are some delightful examples at All Kids Murals.

Be sure to check out Koehler Art. I'm not sure whether to call her kids murals enchanting, whimsical, or what, but they're beautiful. Choose whether to have the mural painted on your wall, canvas panels or boards.

Choices, Choices, Choices

I love options, and you may too, but sometimes too many can get a bit out of hand. Maybe you narrowed your kids murals choices to a reasonable number. Want help making the final choice? Try Choose It.
