OOPSY DAISY - FINE ART FOR KIDS

Homebase: San Diego, CA

DESIGNER: Shelly Kennedy

Wholesale prices: $54.50-$64.50

Kids love to create murals, but who wants to paint the room once they've outgrown the clumsily drawn dinosaurs? Kennedy's peel and stick wall decals on canvas, such as the Exotic Kingdom, can be placed on the wall in any way that suits the child, and then removed without leaving a mark. They come attractively boxed too, for elegant gift-giving.
