A customer sent me this photo of a set of 8×10 Construction prints that she had purchased from Bealoo Kids.  Framed and matted they look great with this bed and wall color.  The possibilities are limited only by your imagination when it comes to Bealoo art!

I’ve decided that early childhood is a fascinating opportunity to see how we develop our creativity.  My daughter drew this picture of our family.  She is three years old and it is so interesting to watch her skills develop.  She is currently in what I call the “Humpty Dumpty” phase, where everything she draws is basically a floating egg with stick arms and legs.  What a uncomplicated and easy way to convey the idea of a person!  I read some where that preschoolers draw what they know about the world, and don’t try to mirror something they see in reality.  What a great way to think about stuff.  Trees and people can be the same size, rainbows can appear out of no-where, grass looks good in orange, people and houses and elephants can be the same size.  Simple art!

After years of people asking about a treasure map it is finally complete!    While researching pirate treasure I found that there have been few documented cases of pirates burying treasure and no documented cases of any real treasure maps.   Despite this,  the treasure map has served as a good plot device in many a movie and book,  and might play an important role in letting your child`s imagination run wild.   This whimsical and fun piece of artwork is perfect for any child who loves adventure!   Visit my store to see a selection of sizes and finishings for my new artwork “Pirate Treasure“

Children love to look at picture books that have big, vibrant pictures. Kids also love to have large, bright images to look at on their walls. Remember lying awake as a child gazing at the ceiling or the walls? You might have seen marks on the ceiling or funky patterns in the curtains or wallpaper. You can give your child something great to look at for these calm, observant moments – like my new dinosaur prints, perfect for young boy spaces, and perfect for inspiring the imagination!

My daughter just moved into a big girl bed, and with it came a move to a new bedroom.  I decided to paint the walls in pastel stripes, which proved to be a painstaking and time consuming decision!  Now that it’s all done it looks great, especially with the  Bealoo canvas I added to the walls from my Digital Birds collection.   Canvas reproductions are quite economical once you realize  that there is no need  purchase mats or a frame.  Each Bealoo piece comes ready to hang!  Our canvas is made from 100% cotton canvas, expertly stretched on museum grade stretcher bars, with a sawtooth on the back for ease of hanging.

At Bealoo Kids, we believe that the possibilities with art are endless. Children’s art will beautify and enrich your nursery, bedroom and playroom. Inspire your child’s imagination with art for kids, and decorate your little one’s space one piece at a time with Bealoo-tiful Art!

Bea Moritz, artist, grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia where she achieved a degree in English and Fine Art at U.B.C. Following her degree, Bea studied computer animation and began a career with Mainframe Entertainment where she animated on popular shows including Reboot, Transformers and Barbie. After the birth of the first of her three children, Bea relocated to Kelowna, B.C. to raise her family, and continues to create inspirational art to capture the imaginations of children everywhere.

It is with this concept that the Bealoo growth charts were created. The wide selection of whimsical designs captures the imagination of children in an array of themes to choose from. It’s not just about how many inches a child grows! Each chart artwork speaks to the creative growth that is an essential part of growing throughout the years of early childhood.

With his or her own growth chart, your child has a creative way to express their physical growth, and – in turn – have a boost in confidence with a piece of art that is exclusive to their interests and childhood imagination. Add one to your child’s room and watch his or her face light up with pride each time you see how your child measures up! Take a peek at our affordable growth charts in our online store.
