DECOR: Wee Gallery Wall Graphics (Sammy Bear Pick)

Pros: Cute wall designs. The peel-and-stick decals are easy to apply and remove. Can be repositioned (made to re-stick easily), so good choice for indecisive wall decorators like me.
Cons: Would have been better if the background of the stickers was transparent instead of white, but that's a minor point.

When my sister-in-law introduced me to these Wee Gallery wall graphics, I immediately wanted to get a set for SB's playroom. They are really cute and make a nice alternative to standard framed pictures. They are basically peel-and-stick wall murals, which means they are non-permanent and much much easier to apply than a real mural. The wall graphics are sold as a set of decals with a theme such as the elephants shown above. In addition to the elephants, there are themes ranging from "Jungle" to "Undersea" to "Garden." A total of seven Wee Gallery decal designs are available on a website called What is Blik, which offers all kinds of cool wall decals. I found an eighth Wee Gallery decal design on Amazon.com that features dinosaurs. Not sure why Blik doesn't carry that one. The large, black and white animal graphics are designed to appeal to babies and children of all ages, even newborns, who tend to be interested in contrasting black and white shapes.

I purchased the elephant decal set for SB's playroom when he was 11 months old, and at first, he didn't seem to notice them (I placed them kind of high up on the wall). Once he did realize that there were these chubby elephants and orange and green swirls on his walls, he became really interested in looking at them up close and touching the stickers. I had made sure to place them high enough so that he couldn't peel them off (he loves to pick at things), but that of course means that when SB demands it, I must pick him up and take him from sticker to sticker when he wants an up-close look. As you wish, your majesty :)

I like the fact that you can position each decal in the set however you like and create your own custom mural. The great thing about these decals is that they are re-stickable, meaning you can peel them off and reposition or reuse them without damaging your walls. For example, if you wanted to move the decals from a bedroom to a playroom, you could do that. It's very handy for people like me who like to try different options before settling on one. I repositioned a bunch of the decals, and they came off the wall very easily and still retained their sticking ability very well. I would keep the backing sheet the decals come on for future use.

Before purchasing the wall decals, I had called Blik to find out whether they would stick well on orange peel textured walls (commonly found here in the Orlando area, where we live). Blik carries another line of decals that are very thin, which supposedly do not work well on textured walls. Blik assured me, however, that textured walls are not an issue for the re-stickable Wee Gallery decals, and I found that they do in fact stick fine on our walls. The decals are made of eco-friendly polypropylene.

The decals are also available for purchase on the Wee Gallery website, but for some reason, only five of the designs are offered. Wee Gallery also offers art cards, greeting cards, mobiles, wrapped canvases, and prints with the same images found in the decal sets.

Retail price: $38.00 for a set of stickers
