How Wall Decals Support Your Growing Explorer

Your little one is now becoming a curious explorer, learner, and independent thinker! Between 6 months and 3 years old, your child's brain undergoes incredible transformations that set the foundation for lifelong learning. 



Creating the perfect visual environment which can include cleverly designed children's wall art makes all the difference in supporting this amazing journey of development.

The Magic Happens Between 6 Months and 3 Years

This is when the real adventure begins! At around three or four months there is a surge of synapse formation in the visual cortex, and the peak happens anywhere between four and twelve months of age. Your toddler's brain is literally building the connections they'll use for the rest of their life.



Research shows that most one-week-old babies can already distinguish between patterned and plain surfaces, preferring to look at interesting visual designs rather than blank walls.



By six months, your little explorer can perceive and categorise colours, with fascinating preferences emerging—they love looking at blues the longest.



During this period, your toddler starts to learn and understand many new concepts, and their environment plays a crucial role in this development. Understanding colour is an essential building block they will use for learning in all areas of their life.

Why Wall Decals for Toddler Bedrooms Are Developmental Powerhouses

As your child transitions from baby to toddler, their visual needs evolve dramatically.

They're now ready for more complex patterns, engaging storylines, and interactive designs that encourage exploration and learning. Having an environment that features educational themes like numbers, letters, animals, and nature scenes provide the perfect balance of stimulation and aesthetics.

Wall art can help children learn and practice skills like patterning and cause and effect, while also developing critical thinking skills. When you invest in creating a space full of visual interest in this way, you're also providing an environment that grows with your child's expanding curiosity.

The Beauty of Repositionable Wall Art for Growing Minds

Here's the wonderful thing about this age - your toddler's interests are bound to change As they grow, so will their fascination with their favourite things, be that space, animals or perhaps some magical fairytales.

We know that bold colours boost development, and that creating a calming sleep environment is equally important.

The beauty of repositionable wall decals is their flexibility – you may choose to place stimulating designs where baby plays and gentler themes near where they sleep.

Well made repositionable wall art allows you to adapt their space as their interests evolve, keeping them engaged and excited about the environment around them.

This means that when you buy decals like ours, you're not only investing in flexibility and quality products but also endless possibilities for learning and growth.
