Robot Nursery

Posted: January 7th, 2009 ˑ Filled under: Art, For fun ˑ  8 Comments

Over the holidays, my wife and I had a fun project: decorate the nursery! We had decided a while back that we wanted to have a robot-themed room, so I decided to do some fun drawings for the walls. The canvases are 2′x2′ and I used Posca paint pens which are water based, non-toxic and really fun to use! Here are some photos of the process and finished room.

Update: I’ve done a second post with more fun robot items for kids!

I thought this would be a fun way to learn ABCs!

We also have some great robot artwork from friends of ours. The Howdy Robot print on the wall is a piece by Tad Carpenter. The color match was purely a coincidence, but it’s a perfect fit! The orange robot was hand-knit and has been a guest in the house for a couple of years now. We’ve appropriately named it “KnitRobot”.

    Thanks, Christi! We had a lot of fun doing it. Probably as much fun as making ramen will be in a few weeks :)

    OMG… First I was looking at your beard (haven’t seen you in a while) then I was so busy looking at the details in the diff robots, when you said it would be a fun way to learn ABCs.. I had to scroll around to see what you were talking about. Happy to report I found them.
    :o ) The room looks great~~ I’m sure the baby will love looking at your robots – Riley stared and stared at some wall hangings a friend of ours did.
