Dream Big Neon Sign for Kids' Rooms

Two words in light blue lowercase script: “dream big” is a gentle push in the right direction. In a child's room it sits above the bed or the desk where homework happens; in a classroom it gives the front wall a focal point; in an office it says something without shouting.

Light blue is calm, and lowercase script keeps the message friendly rather than loud. Each stroke is a single flexible silicone LED tube laid along the centre of the letter and set into a groove routed in clear acrylic about 1/4 in thick. Ends are rounded, curves are smooth, and the board around the words is cut to a clean outline.

Installing it where children are:

• mount it high on the wall, above reach
• keep the adapter and cable away from the bed or crib, and out of walkways
• in a classroom or daycare, ask for a flame-retardant polycarbonate (PC) backboard if your school or fire inspector requires it
• on drywall, block or brick, wall standoffs set with the right anchor hold it firmly

The sign runs on 12 V DC from a plug-in adapter, and the included dimmer turns it down to a soft glow at bedtime. We make it after you approve a free proof, in 15 to 20 days, then ship it in 3 to 5 days, and it carries a 2-year warranty with free repair.

Above a child's bed or desk, 24 or 30 in fits well; in a nursery, 20 or 24 in. On a classroom front wall or an office wall seen from across the room, choose 36 or 48 in so the words still read from the back rows.

Light blue is pictured. Pink, purple or warm white can be requested on the proof at no charge.

Wall standoffs are the firmest choice for classrooms and kids' rooms; no-drill mounts work on smooth, sealed walls at home. The indoor build is the right one.
