A hippo in a helmet carrying a football is not something I knew I needed in my life, but here we are. This set of four watercolor sports nursery prints follows a cast of jungle and safari animals through what appears to be the most chaotic, joyful game of football ever played.
The palette is soft and warm, all sandy tans, muted greens, and gentle greys, with just enough detail to reward a closer look. Each piece in this animals wall art set features a different moment: a hippo charging past a tiger and giraffe, a kangaroo leaping impossibly high above a monkey and panda, an elephant facing off with a kangaroo, and a lion sprinting past a zebra and crocodile. The watercolor style keeps it light and airy without feeling flat.
Together, the four jungle animal prints tell a little story across the wall, which makes them especially good for a baby boy room or a sports nursery where you want character without going overboard on the theme.
This is the kind of art a kid grows into, not out of. It works beautifully in a nursery now, and holds its own just as well in a big-kid bedroom later.
