Wallcandy Arts growth chart and chalkboard circles

I'm sort of new to the whole wall decals thing even though it's been around for awhile, and we've certainly written about a variety of them, including most recently Wallcandy's chalkboard animals. If you've ever been curious if kids stay within the shapes as they're drawing on the walls, I was curious too, so I tested out a sample of their big chalkboard circles. It works, somewhat, but it's a bit too tempting for a 3 year old to venture outside the boundaries and the whole thing is a bit too messy for a neat freak like me. I had the best time last night, however, with an idea of my own. I do actually love the slight satin-sheen, charcoal look of the chalkboard and the circles are such a nice size (much bigger than I expected at 18" across) that it made the perfect canvas to draw and cut out my own shapes. I made various things, including birds on a branch (Ben, your house is not the only bird-obsessed house on this blog), numbers, and the baby's name, which is a bit long and not too common. Pretty fun if you're a bit crafty and can't find a graphic you're looking for.

Some of the newer Wallcandy Arts products are the chalkboard growth chart and chalkboard tree, for those who like the chalkboard effect but want something a little more whimsical and graphic.
