> [@Disheavel](#): > > We used a couple of [Deyrolle](http://www.deyrolle.fr/magazine/spip.php?rubrique93) purchased posters in our living room, but they would fit your science idea spectacularly. Now we bought them in person in Paris, but they are very helpful and friendly and can help you buy particular posters. Our were hand drawn microbe and seashell pictures like old text book and science classroom pictures. Their website is worse than I remembered! > > They also have all kinds of mounted insect displays as well as any shell imaginable and all kinds of taxidermied animal too. We spend hours in there every time we go as it is just an amazing place. (Most posters are in French or Latin, btw). This link just made my day. No, make that my week, at least. It may be partially hormones, but that site is the most unutterably perfect link for me. I am a huge francophile, and I’ve bought some french flashcards with the idea of framing some of the nature-y ones for the nursery, but this is so much better. (It will also be great for presents for my French-mayor brother). THANK YOU! ---

Think robots. Babies like faces, and robots are a good combination of science and faces. We have a sort of “Rockets and Robots” theme and the robots have been more popular. But for science geeks having babies, I have to share the song I wrote today: (to the tune of “I’m a Little Teapot”) I’m a little rocket, tall and thin Here is my nosecone (_hands make a triangle above head)_, Here are my fins (_hands at an angle down to sides_) When the countdown’s over, my engines (_squat, grab hips_) Shoot me up (_jump_) And the fun begins! ---

Congratulations on your new arrival to be! Friends of the family just used the jungle animal motif…my mother embroidered a baby quilt and little giraffe pillows to go along with it… ---

After you’ve decided on the room’s color, I say look into [nursery wall decals](http://www.wall-pops.com/wallpops-baby.aspx). I know [Wall-pops.com](http://Wall-pops.com) has some removable ones that looked great in my kid’s room. ---
