Interactive Murals
Why not make your murals interactive, this makes added fun and learning for your children.
Blackboard Paint
This great spray or brush on paint can be used to make your very own blackboard. Just spray on the wall, remember to make it lower down for little ones to reach, allow to dry between coats and viola all you need is the chalk.
Magnetic Paint
This fab paint is an Acrylic latex water-based primer that turns any wall into a Magnetic receptive Surface. Paint on the under colour primer then paint on your own top coat in any latex or enamel colour you like. Fantastic no more blue tack or pin marks and best of all most are kid safe as they contain no lead.
2D Murals
You can make your murals 2D, so your children can touch and feel the surfaces. For example you could paint a pig, then once the paint is dry cover say piggy's tummy in pink felt, this way your children can get used to lots of different textures. Or you could use fake fur on lion's manes or bears and zebra's.
If you're using an underwater theme then you could use two tone plastic paper to highlight areas of the sea or on the fishes themselves.Murals that Glow in the Dark
Why not try using luminous or glow in the dark paints in your murals. If your mural is outer space then you could paint the stars and planets using luminous paints that will glow once the lights are switched off.
Glitter
If you are painting say angles or fairies why not add a touch of glitter to their wings or wand. Or if your painting an underwater theme how about glitter on the seahorses or fish, then when the light catches the mural it will literally, sparkle.
Colour Changing Murals
Try using Heat Sensor Paint this new type of paint is specially designed to change colour when touched by heat, i.e. when a hand is placed on it. There are three colours Mauve, Azure (blue) and Chameleon (green). Why not using these colours in a Tropical Island or Underwater scene. You could use the paint in the large swathes of colour, so for example the Azure for the sea and use normal Acrylic paint for the other mural colours and paint in your mural.Now whenever your little one touches the mural, different bits of it will, as if by magic, change colour.Accessories Store
