1. Save the Backing Sheets—Your Future Self Will Thank You
#MomHack: When you peel off your wall decals, don’t just toss the backing sheets like they’re yesterday's news. Keep them! Why? Because our high quality wall decals are more than just a quick fix—they're an investment. If your little one grows out of their unicorn phase or wants a new theme, you can easily reapply the decals later or even pass them along to a friend (or resell them!).
Why It Works: Wall decals are meant to be reused (hello, versatility), and if you ever want to switch up your design or move houses, those original backing sheets are your best friends. Simply stick the decals back onto the backing sheets to preserve their stickiness and avoid any accidental peeling or losing pieces. One of the many reasons why we love Tiny Haven wall decals, when you remove our high quality wall decals they wont damage walls and decals won't get damaged!
Pro Tip: Store the decals flat in a folder or drawer (even under the bed - that's where I keep mine!) to keep them safe until it’s time for the next room overhaul. Your future self will thank you when it’s time to move or give the room a fresh look! And if you’re eyeing a new set of decals, be sure to check out our latest designs—perfect for any future room upgrades!
2. Let the Kids "Decorate" the Walls - You’ll Get 15 Minutes of Peace (and Possibly a New Picasso)
Ever wish you could have just one moment to sip your coffee without a toddler hanging off your leg?
#MomHack: Hand over the reins to your little ones and let them place their own wall decals. Yes, you read that right—no need to micromanage!. No, this isn’t an excuse to let them loose with a Sharpie (though, let’s be real, they’ll probably still try). The beauty of wall decals is that they’re removable and repositionable. So when they decide to give the giraffe some polka-dots, you can easily peel them off, move them around, and get back to your peaceful beverage time.
Why It Works: Kids love being involved in decorating their space, and wall decals are easy to apply (no skills required). It’s a fun, interactive activity that can keep them entertained while you sip your coffee in peace. Bonus points for making them feel like they’re in charge of their own room - Everyone wins!Pro Tip: Give them a little "decorating kit" with a variety of decals to mix and match. It’s like an arts and crafts project, but way easier (and way less messy).
Extra Pro Tip: When they get the placement totally wrong, you can sneakily adjust it when they're not looking!
3. Damaged Walls? Rough Edges? Cover It Up with Wall Decals
Okay, we all know that kids and walls don’t always get along. Whether it's scuff marks from those little shoes, the aftermath of a creative crayon session, or just general wear and tear, wall decals are your best friend for covering up imperfections.
#MomHack: Instead of spending hours repairing and repainting, you can easily mask those rough spots with a fun design. Stick a jungle scene over that dent, or pop a cute star decal where your toddler’s “art” took a detour. Who knew that a dinosaur could cover up cracked plaster? (Okay, maybe not literally, but you get the point.)
Why It Works: It’s a quick fix that also adds a pop of personality and livens your little one's room. Whether it’s a small crack, scuff, or a whole chunk of peeling paint, you can simply cover it up with a cute decal and make the wall look like new—no repairs needed!
Pro Tip: Got a wall with multiple “oops” spots? Layer your decals to create a fun collage! It’s a great way to cover multiple imperfections while adding more character to the room. Plus, it gives you the excuse to mix and match different designs. And when it’s time to switch things up, just peel them off, and your walls are as good as new. Can you layer our Tiny Haven Wall Decals - well yes, yes you can!
4. Decals as “Temporary Labels” for Toy Organisation (Who Knew?)
#MomHack: Turn your decals into educational and organizational tools. Use small decals on toy bins, shelves, or drawers to label where things go.
Why It Works: Who says decals are just for walls? Using them to mark toy storage will not only add a pop of color but can also teach your kids the art of organization. (You might even inspire a few moments of tidying up. Miracle, right?)
Pro Tip: Use fun designs like animals, numbers, or shapes that align with your child’s learning, making it both functional and educational. Now the only thing you'll need is a coffee break while your kids organise their own room (hey, we can dream).
5. Turn Your Kid's Room into a Learning Space with Alphabet Wall Decals (Learning Can Be Fun, Too!)
Here’s a clever hack that’s as educational as it is adorable!
#MomHack: Use our Alphabet wall decals to turn your kid’s room into a mini classroom (without all the worksheets and homework). Whether they’re just starting to recognise letters, you can help them learn their ABCs while giving the room a pop of color and personality. Let your little one practice their letters while surrounded by vibrant, engaging designs.
Why It Works:
Why do kids love stickers so much? Because they’re fun! And what better way to make learning the ABCs enjoyable than by sticking them on the walls? These decals bring the alphabet to life in a colorful, interactive way. Not only are they cute, but they’re also a tactile experience for your child—perfect for hands-on learners. And when they grow out of their alphabet phase (or move on to their next obsession), don’t worry—you can easily swap them out for something new without worrying about making a permanent mark—these decals come off as easily as they go on with no damage to the walls or decals. Just hold on to that backing sheet—you never know when those letters might come back for a comeback tour!
Pro Tip:
Turn the learning experience into a game! Try sticking the letters in random spots and then ask your child to “find” the letters as you call them out. It’s like a scavenger hunt, but with letters. It’s a great way to make learning feel like playtime while also helping your little one familiarise themselves with their ABCs—just don’t be surprised if they want to move the decals around themselves once they get the hang of it!
