DS is getting his own room. He loves animals. Are these animal heads too young for an 8 year old?

[debatethis]

DS is 4 and would love them, but IDK if that means they're too young. I'd be concerned about longevity though, if they're expensive. Maybe some white papier mache ones or ceramic instead?

[penguingrrl]

They’re very cute! But they do seem very young to me. My 8 year old might like them now, but would be over them quickly. My 10 year old would be embarrassed to have them in her room (she’s mentioned being embarrassed by other things like this in the past), so I would only get them if you’re okay with redoing things pretty soon.

[bowies]

I think so. There are more mature versions on Etsy. You could also get some prints from a zoological society or conservation organization.

[miniroller]

Agreed that I’m afraid he’ll grow out of that REALLY soon. SO I don’t know if this helps, but definitely agree w/ debatethis to maybe go more ceramic..?

I’d saved this link for a corner of our basement that we were considering awhile ago, just in case it helps:

I love these paper sculpture kits by Resident. Made in PA, and he can help decorate his room by making his own with the kit!

I agree with others that they might be OK for now, but he'll grow out of them quickly.

My 7 yr old boys would think those "babyish" with the exception of the shark... they like sharks.

Well, I’m 35 abs would like them in my bedroom so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

[katiecj6]

My 8 year old would not like them. I got him plain white hooks at IKEA and he’s happy with those

[oliverboliverbutt]

DS is 8 and would like them (not unicorn or maybe bear) and probably not care enough to change them for a while. He also still has a pink-purple dresser even though he moved from bronie to bro several years ago, so he might just care abnormally little about those kind of things.

Same.  41 going on 42 and  I would totally put those in my bedroom.  They would go perfectly with my animal head jewelry rack.

[anodyne]

They come individually, I was thinking all but the unicorn and dinosaur. They come just as the animal heads, not the hats/glasses.

I found these and think they will last him longer. They have 6 choices of wood and almost too many animals to choose from.

ETA: If you like the stuffed animals, they are at Target. www.target.com/p/bear-head-wall-d-233-cor-pillowfort-153/-/A-50075922#lnk=sametab

My 9 year old would like them and probably wouldn’t mind them for years to come. The wooden ones are not as fun imo. I like the ones he can make himself too.

[goldengirlz]

What does your DS think? I think 8 is old enough to have input and if they’re not over-the-top expensive, I’d let him get them, even if he outgrows them soon.

[sushi]

What about finding something like these? They're from eBay but I'm guessing available elsewhere

Yeah. He'll be over those within a year.

Check out Animal Print Shop. I have a few of the baby animal prints in my 2 year olds room but I really want a giant one of the cow face over my couch. I get the smaller sizes and then just get frames at Michaels when they’re on sale. www.theanimalprintshop.com

I think my H would look at me like I have 3 heads, but I would LOVE to put a giant version of this over my couch. I think it's the same one you're talking about.
