Decorating your kid's room with “real art” is clearly the new big thing. No more Snoopy posters. Forget ABC stenciling. But short of touring expensive galleries with your tot in tow, where can you find something unique to adorn your little one's walls? Oopsy Daisy, a California-based company that has caught the eye of celebrity moms such as Jodie Foster and Sarah Jessica Parker, offers a refreshing selection of fine art for kids. Canvas prints created from the works of thirty original artists, including Max Grover and Manya Stojic, are designed especially to trigger a young imagination: A giant panda; a Ferris wheel; a garden party. All provide more than decoration, they also entertain and inspire story telling. Each canvas is printed individually rather than in a batch to achieve the best color and detail, then hand-stretched onto a wooden frame, giving it the flavor of a one-of-a-kind piece. For budding aficionados, each one comes with a biography of the artist. Unlike delicate original artwork, these prints are safe to be touched by little hands -- and, better yet, wiped clean. Can't say that for gallery pieces. Click here to view the Oopsy Daisy wall art collection http://store.yahoo.com/wellappointedhouse/oodachwaart.html |
