Kids’ Wall Stickers from Mimimyne

erica — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 08:00:30 +0000

I’m still looking around for things for my son’s new bedroom and came across these fab kids’ wall stickers at Mimimyne.

My son loves anything with dinosaurs on and it’s one of the themes we’re considering for his room. The colours on these Dinosaur Wall Stickers are nice and bright and the design includes helicopters too. This stickers are a fab way to instantly make a room child friendly (even if you aren’t likely to get round to proper decorating for ages yet) and create a focus of interest. You get 2 sheets of wallstickers in each pack and the sheets measure 1100mm x 600mm, so you get a good sized display for your walls. There’s room for flexibility as you can create your own pattern or follow the instructions provided with the set. The stickers are priced at £80.

While I was on the Mimimyne site I had a peek at some of the more girlie wall stickers too. I like this one with a Fantasia theme. It’s a beautiful design that features unicorns flying over clouds and stars. Again you get 2 sheets in a pack and it’s priced at £80.
