Your child will choose his stencil design depending on what's popular at the moment.

If a new dinosaur movie has just come out he'll want a dino stencil. If however Spiderman is in fashion he'll want that.

Sometimes it's better, when decorating a child's room, to go with a general theme rather than a specific one. Spiderman today Batman tomorrow, then he'll expect you to redecorate "cos' spiderman's old"!

The exception to this rule is of the course a child with a hobby. If she's mad about ballet, it's fairly safe to paint a ballet theme. Horses are another safe bet, if they like horse riding it will usually last a long time.

Always ask your childs opinion, it is after all their room. However if the answer is something from a movie she saw last week, think twice.

If your not sure what to do I find most girls love fairies and boys are generally crazy about anything mechanical, preferably with buttons to push, even if they're pretend..
