Living in or near a city, you know your kid has street smarts. And you
spend a lot of time, money and energy to ratchet up his other smarts.
(According to Harvard prof Dr. Howard Gardner, there are seven types.) But in this period of paring down, you need to be more selective with your intelligence-boosting expenditures.

Enter Wallcandy Smarts. It’s the newest line of decorative wall decals from Wallcandy Arts. Smarts is a three-step “program” to stimulate an infant’s brain development. The first step consists of installing black-and-white, geometric-patterned decals (non-toxic), including checkerboards and bullseyes. A young baby’s sight isnt’ fully developed so he particularly enjoys these high-contrast patterns. As a baby grows, he’s better able to distinguish colors. So the second step integrates primary color pieces, and then finally it’s time to add the frame decals for your own photos. Because what baby doesn’t like to look at his parents’ faces? For less than $30, you’ve got nursery decor that’s easily removable and reusable; and it won’t wreck the walls.

Now for the rest of the house.
