DIY Wall Murals for Kids – Paint by Numbers + Buying Non-Toxic Paint in Hong Kong

It’s pouring down rain on this fine Saturday afternoon, so I’m piddling around the house taking stock of the various projects that keep alluding me.  One that I hate to admit: J’s little nursery is still a teeny bit of a work in progress.  There’s this one big blank wall that is just staring me down — I’ve been thinking about possibly adding shelves…or maybe a few fun prints?  But then this morning I’ve come across what may be the answer — do-it-yourself, paint-by-number murals from Elephants on the Wall.

Whether it’s a small whimsical touch or a full-sized wall mural, there are a ton of choices – and they all go up in three easy steps – tape, trace and paint.  A perfect rainy day project…..

Here are a few of the (crazy cute) designs that fit well with J’s brightly colored animal theme nursery:
