A calm sea-themed wall for infant and toddler rooms
A modular DIY sensory wall for daycare infant and toddler rooms and home nurseries, built from individual 35×65cm (14×26") panels. Choose from our sea-themed selection - fish, waves, shells and underwater elements alongside locks, latches and gears. You choose which panels go on the wall. The finished set matches your room's size and your toddlers' stage of development.
The ocean palette runs in calm blues and greens. It's designed to be soothing rather than overstimulating in a room where children spend long stretches of the day.
Why compose your own nursery wall
Nursery rooms come in odd shapes and sizes, and a fixed set rarely fits the space perfectly. The DIY sea theme lets you choose panel count and specific elements to match your wall. Add more later as the room's needs change - a new age group, a larger space, or simply more activity variety.
How ordering works
- Choose your panel count - start small and expand as your room allows
- Pick from the sea-themed element selection: fish, waves, shells, locks, latches and gears
- We handcraft each panel to order and ship with mounting hardware
- Add more panels later without replacing your existing set
At checkout, choose your delivery region in General Location (it sets the shipping cost), then choose how many panels you want: from 1 to 7. The price updates as soon as you pick a set size. In the personalization field, enter the panel numbers shown on the listing photos, for example: 1, 3, 4, 6, 7. Planning several rooms? Request a quote.
The "DIY" part is the choosing, not the building: each sea-themed panel arrives finished and ready to mount, with nothing to cut or paint. If you are weighing up making a homemade sensory board for the nursery instead, our DIY vs. store-bought sensory board guide walks through the materials, safety checks and time involved.

Frequently asked questions
How many panels do I need to start?
There's no fixed minimum. Many nurseries start with 3-4 panels and add more as the room or budget allows.
Is the sea theme suitable for very young toddlers?
Yes. Elements are chosen with smaller hands in mind, and edges are rounded throughout. The calm ocean palette is deliberately less stimulating than our brighter collections - it suits longer daily use in an infant or toddler room.
Can we mix in elements from the bright-color or pastel collections?
The sea theme is its own element library. If you'd like a mixed palette, tell us what you have in mind and we'll advise on a custom order.
Can we add more panels after our first order?
Yes. The modular format is built for this - additional panels will match your existing set.
How is this different from your fixed Sea Themed panel set?
Our standard sea-themed panels come as a pre-built set at a fixed size. This DIY version lets you choose the panel count and specific elements yourself - useful for rooms with non-standard dimensions or specific element preferences.
How do we clean the panels in a clinic, school or daycare?
Wipe with a soft cloth and mild soap, then dry any moving parts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and soaking the wood. Where your facility requires disinfection, clean first, then use the disinfectant your infection-control policy specifies. To check a specific product against our water-based finish, send us its name.
How heavy is a panel and what fixings do we need?
Each panel weighs about 3kg (6.6lb) and sits about 4cm (1.6") off the wall. Every order includes mounting points and step-by-step instructions. Use anchors suited to your wall: screws into studs or wood framing where possible, masonry anchors for brick or concrete. We do not install, but a maintenance team or handyman can fit the panels with standard tools.
Can we order with a purchase order or as a tax-exempt organization?
Yes. Schools, clinics, daycare centers and other organizations can order by purchase order, pay by ACH, or order tax-exempt. Request a quote with your billing and shipping details and we will send an official quote.
