What does the fox say? cheap cheap cheap...

Over the last few weeks, I've been turning our guest room into a new room for Maverick.   I figure I better do it NOW, rather than wait until next year when he's going to surpass me in height.    
Part of the challenge is to find something fun for the walls -- I just don't want to spend a bunch of money, especially since I know he's going to out-grow the décor over time.  And when the budget is low, it's a DIY or bust moment. 

After watching Maverick get all wound up and crazy about a silly Ylvis song, "What Does the Fox Say?" I had a little inspiration on creating a quick and cute trilogy that I felt would suit his new room, which is orange, green, an.   I got out my trusty pack-o-canvases from Michaels (11 x 14 - 5 for $15!), my dollar-store paint brushes, and some 10-year-old acrylic paint and I go to town....  $9 later, I have something to fill the wall space:

When it comes to kid's art, I try to keep it simple.  I also try not to get too attached to it, because I know he'll eventually outgrow it and move on - probably to posters of athletic heroes or cars or babes or something of the sorts....   That being the case, I don't put a ton of effort into these little things - the set took me just a few hours.  I also don't beat myself up if they don't look perfect.  I figure they're fun and colorful, and if it makes Maverick think of that crazy song, and puts that cute smile on his face, well... then, I'm a happy mom.
