Eric Carle Art for Walls

As a teacher I have access to a ton of children's books. My all time favorite illustrator is Eric Carle. His art work appeals to adults and children alike~ bright colors, lovely texture, and different mediums. I enlarged some of my favorite pages at Kinko's yesterday to create bright and cheery prints for the animal themed nursery:

 

 Here's how it turned out:

Hippo

Giraffe

Tortoise

Ta Da!

I also made a few prints for the ocean themed hall bathroom (soon to be kid's bathroom):

Tiger Fish

Blue Whale

Leaf Fish
