Sweet Dreams Fairies Wall Decals
By now you might have noticed I’m a Wall Candy Arts fan. How could I not be? Their stuff is good. It’s cute. The decals actually stick to the wall and then can be moved and will stick again. For real. That’s why I jumped at the chance to test out their new design: Sweet Dream Fairies.
The pack of decals comes with three fairies (the heads and bodies are separate, so you can choose which fairy gets what body). Then, they have lollipops, cupcakes and jelly beans all in different sizes and colors. I use the lollipops as wands and then have the cupcakes spilling out. The fairies, I put on the doors of my little one’s room (to save the wall space for all the treats).
The fairies channel Japanese anime – they have big dark eyes and look a little strange to me. I hate to say this, but they give me the heebie-jeebies a little. Of course, they aren’t designed for me. They are designed for little ones who need to have some reassurance that nightmares won’t skulk in at night. My girl really likes the one with the birthday cake hat.
As for the candies and treats, they definitely sweeten the room but I’ve noticed that my daughter has been asking for sweet treats more often now. I don’t know if there is any correlation but it started happening after I put the stickers up. Of course, we talk a lot about the fairies and the lollipops and the cupcakes before bed time, so it’s no wonder the idea is in her little brain.
As much as I love WallCandyArts, I’m not entirely sold on the fairies. Maybe it’s my snobbish design aesthetic coming out – I’d prefer something a little less “cutesy” and a little more simple. I mean, it’s a LOT of color to add to one’s walls. That said, I’m certain my daughter is not at all scared at night when she wakes up and sees her little sweets on the wall next to her, so there’s that.
If you’re having an issue with nightmares or even if your little one just needs someone lovely to be in the room with her, then you might want to give these stickers a try. But maybe talk about the “pretend” cupcakes a little more than I did so you won’t get caught up in the whole, “I want a cupcake” every time you serve some food. Just a word to the wise.
The Sweet Dreams Fairies decals cost $32 and can be purchased directly from Wall Candy Arts.
