While toddlers who cannot read and write wouldn't probably appreaciate the idea, I do think the Wallpaper Games from French 5.5 Designers is a great product for older children's room, especially those who are into puzzles and word games. It's a simple idea of a wallpaper with grids of letters, like your usual word search game. You can find words and circle them with your writing implement of choice. In time, the room grows its own character by the amount of words found. Markers of various colours would look really nice, but plain black ink might give the wall different identity.
The nerdy side of me totally loves the idea. The images were copied from their official site and the example words are in French, but I did take some time to actually use the close up image to play a little bit to see if I can find words in English, and I certainly found plenty. I even found quite some number of words in Dutch as well.
Too bad there's no way I could find out where they sell this and how much it costs. As much as I love their products, I really can't say the same about their website.
By the way, for those of you with no toddlers/children in the house, this wallpaper is fabulous in the toilet. Imagine replacing the clutter of magazine stash with the wallpaper and a cup filled with coloured markers instead.
