I found on the internet this really cute barn animals made of wood (cow horse chicken) that one can glue to the wall. The problem is that they cost a fortune ($799 for the whole set). It is ridiculous .
Neither of us are any good with drawing so I wonder if there are any large stickers that I can use instead.
WHere can I find something like that? Or any other idea?
There are a variety of options available to you.
First, see if you can buy or borrow a projector. I bought an old fashioned one from a school surplus sale for $10, but would love a digital. You may be able to rent one. Using the projector, you can project images onto the wall and stencil them in, and then paint. If you do not want to do this directly onto the wall, purchase some blank canvas and do it on there and then hang them.
Alternatively, you could hire someone to do a mural. One of the churches we are associated with has a wonderful artist that does the most amazing murals-the VBS there is always so surreal.
I am certain you can purchase wooden shapes for a lot less than $800. Visit your local arts and crafts store. A neat idea would be to have a lot of family members decorate one for the baby’s nursery, and sign their name on the back. Not only would it be helpful and fun, but a neat keepsake.
You could use stuffed animals instead, but did you know stuffed animals can multiply? LOL
And, yes-you probably can find wall stickers. Check Lowe’s, Home Depot, Babies R Us, Wal Mart, etc…and the internet if you have no luck at those places. eBay will have some. How large you can find them, I do not know.
Have fun!

go to a craft store (ac moore, michaels, etc.) a lot of times you can find wood cut outs like those…and they are MUCH cheaper than that….but you would have to paint them. or you can try ebay for the product you want….also you can try walpaper cutouts. its like sticky wallpaper but cut out into shapes. (called wallies)

Why don’t you just paint the walls a pretty color? That way you won’t spend a ton of money and you won’t have to change it later and worry about getting glue off the wall.
You could always buy some little animal pictures/paintings (like framed pictures) and hang them up on the walls.

If you want stickers or something that you can hang out a wall you can go on the internet and find pictures of animals and print them out and take them somewhere to have them laminated and cut them out. That is what we did when we did our sons room with sports. We got gigantic size pics and laminated them. So they are like lifesize now to our 2 year old.
