Decorating  :   Stick It!
   

Since my son was born, I've become a die-hard Cling-On fan.  No, I'm not running out to Star Trek conventions around the country, I'm talking about one of the best ways we've found to decorate your child's room.  The name of the item -- Wall Clings.

These vinyl designs are very similar to colorforms for your walls.  But don't be mistaken.  These are not your mother's wall clings. Today they not only come in a myriad of fabulous colors but they actually stick to the wall -- no flowers falling off the walls in the middle of the night.  The ones in my son's room have been hanging there for 6 years without budging.

Why do we love this product?  It's inexpensive, allows for your child to participate in the process and, most important, is easily changed with the ever changing decorating moods of your child (we're talking all girls 5 years old and up here...).  

Below we've given you a list of wall cling brands, a description of their product lines, and the link to their sites.  Browse around and we're sure you can find something your child will like. Then, hang them up and let them stay a while.  When your child out-grows the design, simply have them peel them off and try a new design.  Within minutes you've redecorated without the mess or the fuss!

WALLIES
We would be remiss not to mention the popular Wallies -- but please note that these designs are not cling on stickers.  Instead, the pre-pasted cutouts must be wet for placement and removal.  A little messier but still a great way to decorate.
