How to Choose the Best Watercolor Animal Prints for Your Nursery or Kids’ Room

Want an easy, joyful way to make your kid’s room feel finished? Start with a little “mini gallery” of watercolor animal prints you genuinely love—mix a few friendly faces (turtle, giraffe, elephant, and more!) so the wall feels collected, warm, and full of personality. 🎨🐾

At Missy, we run the Monthly Animal Print Club: for $10/month, you get a happy little surprise package with:

  • 🎨 One exclusive 5×7 original watercolor animal print (signed!)
  • 🐾 A matching vinyl sticker
  • 💌 A themed animal card + envelope

Now here’s how to choose prints that look cute today and still feel special as your kiddo grows.


1) Ocean Theme: calm, cozy, and a little magical 🌊

If you want a nursery that feels peaceful (hello, late-night feedings), an ocean vibe is always a win. Think: soft blues, gentle greens, and friendly sea creatures.

Shelly the Turtle

Shelly the Turtle is perfect for that slow, soothing energy—sweet face, soft watercolor edges, and lots of “breathe” in the background so the room doesn’t feel busy.

Want to add a little more personality without losing the calm? Toss in a playful neighbor:

Dave the SeaLion

Dave the SeaLion brings the fun. He’s bright, friendly, and makes the whole wall feel like it’s telling a story (which is exactly what you want in a kid’s space).


2) Unique Friends: pick one “quirky cutie” and let it shine 💌

Sometimes the best nursery art isn’t the “standard” animals—it’s the one that makes you smile every single time you walk by.

Alex the Axolotl

Alex the Axolotl is that quirky little conversation starter. If your room already has a simple color palette, a unique animal print like Alex adds instant charm without needing more decor.

Quick tip: Put your “unique friend” print somewhere you’ll see it a lot—by the changing table or next to the rocking chair—so it feels like a tiny everyday gift.


3) Safari Vibes: warm, sunny, and classic 🦒

If you want a room that feels bright and cheerful, safari animals are the easiest way to bring in warm tones (yellows, oranges, golden browns) without going neon.

Jeffery Giraffe

Jeffery Giraffe is a total sunshine pick. He works especially well if you’ve got neutral walls (white, beige, light grey) and want your art to do the heavy lifting.
