The first few weeks of summer are a magical time of playing outside, sleeping (only a little bit) later and lazy afternoons, but as the heat and the routine of summer set in, sometimes, so does the phrase "Mom, I'm bored"! Summer is really a great time to take on the decorating project and it is fun to brighten up the children's room before school starts again. If you are in search of an innovative and versatile way to add colour into your kid's room - without breaking your budget - check out Do-It-Yourself Mural Patterns.
You can buy great patterns these days and they arrive full size, so you will not need a projector. They come complete with instructions including a paint-by-number guide that will help you create playful wall art to match any decor. Better still all, the patterns come in various shapes, sizes and prices so you select just how much to paint. You can add a tiny butterfly or your child's name over the bed or a complete jungle to your playroom! Allow me to share some fun ways to get children involved in decorating their own room this summer using different wall patterns.

1. Have your son or daughter help select the colours: Whether you’re planning to buy new bedding or creating a new look with existing bedding, children may help match colours and colour on a copy of the enclosed "paint-by-number" guide which comes with the Mural pack to help you decide which colours go where. Be creative! Why not paint a purple monkey or perhaps a pink elephant - your son or daughter will love showing off this handy-work along with their idea!
2. Create a spot for brand spanking new art daily: Use chalk board paint to fill in the outline of the cat or frog and even a racing car. Then children can use coloured chalk to draw new frog faces, invent new butterfly wings or create and re-produce the racing car of their dreams!
3. Produce a hand-painted keepsake: In the event you are not confident in your painting abilities or want to make a painting to keep, purchase a few pre-mounted canvases from the local craft store. Using craft paint or paint pens along with a Mural pattern, create your special hand-painted wall art to hang on your child's wall with a colourful ribbon. You could even give your son or daughter their own canvas to colour with you. You can find many ways by which to entertain the children, but in my opinion, I believe painting a Mural for themselves gives them pride along with a feeling of achievement.

Painting peoples houses has been my line of work for more years than I care to remember. So I thought that it was time I tried to provide a few ideas to help people out who might not possess the money to pay for to pay a lot to entertain the kids. I would certainly also like to take this chance to thank the ' painter london' company who've given me help and advise during the numerous years that I’ve been working as a painter and decorator.
