Frame Game is an occasional series in which I take readers’ gallery wall requests and find art that fits their personalities. Click here to see more Frame Games. Today: A kiddo adventure gallery wall!
You see, since I’ve started rounding up free printables, I’ve received a lot of email seeking help with various dilemmas you have in your homes.
It finally dawned on me. What if I took your specific requests, did some research, and showed you some possibilities here on the blog?
I introduced the idea in my last newsletter, and it was a hit. I have several walls to design now, so I’ve been busy combing the Internet for the perfect art.

Today’s wall was inspired by Kaitlyn, who is decorating for her 5-year-old son, Gavyn.
In her own words:
“Gavyn is a true adventurer with an exceptional imagination! As he is mastering his letters — identifying ones he is familiar with is totally exciting. He has no real theme, just mild colors and bare walls. We are leaning towards a more modern, simplified essence.”

Adventure Gallery Wall: Behind the Scenes
I really wanted to build off the “adventurer” theme for Gavyn. With this in mind, I kept the color palette clean and modern but with a bold pop of color. When these free vintage posters popped up in my search, I knew we had a good centerpiece.
I drew on tones from these posters for the rest of the collection, keeping everything in the same color palette: Yellow, red, blue, B&W.
THERE’S MORE WHERE THIS CAME FROM: Free printable roundups for little kids and for big kids! Plus, printable lunch box jokes.
Gavyn is learning his letters, so naturally the little adventurer would want to also master his NATO phonetic alphabet. This is sure to intrigue and delight for years to come.
Another one of my favorite pieces is the “Hey batter batter swing batter” printable because I can’t help but hear it as said in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” If there’s one person who isn’t afraid of a little adventure, it’s Ferris, am I right?
