Son would like a club penguin bedroom.

Asked my almost 10yo son if he fancied a change from the yu-gi-oh stuff he had a couple of years ago and he said yes he'd now like club penguin. Only thing is I can't find anything, no quilt covers, no curtains zilch! Not convinced they do anything yet, maybe it's not currently big enough. Best I've found is some puffle iron on transfers that I'm thinking of putting on a plain quilt cover.
Carpet already dark blue and walls light blue won't be changing them. Any ideas?

    Why not go to the Club Penguin webpages ...maybe you could download something from there that you can then print out and blow up for a stencil for his walls? See http://community.clubpenguin.com/blog/2010/02/new-catalog-today.php

    from experience at 10 he wont want Club Penguin for long so don't pay too much!
    As has been suggested why not go for a plain dye blue duvet and accessorise the walls with printed pictures? Or, I do know of a website where you can print out a mural to fill a wall on A4 sheets and join them together...

    I agree with pulliptears. :)

    My son loved Club Penguin..for a while...now its gogo's and some other lego thing. Like you, OP, I keep walls and flooring the same and just add small things like posters. a cushion or rug. Then this is easily changed and doesn't cost a fortune. :D HTH
  • Why don't you get plain blue tone bedding from Argos and make your own extras for the room from the web site, and you can also se what people are crafting from it on ebay. He'll be into WWE or something else in a year!
  • im another vote for not going too mad with the theme... the club penguin phase came and went within a year in our house,

    you could print out pictures, frame them and put them up everywhere to make it feel a bit penguiny?

    my DD is 10 and rather than another theme we are going for "grown up"
    no characters on the curtains or walls (i will be SO glad to see the back of bratz and High school musical) but an older plainer bedroom in her style with her favourite colours, and whatever pictures / posters she likes

    Cheers folks. I'm aware he'll be out of it soon - especially since he'll be at secondary school in September next year. He's already been thru winnie the pooh, Tarzan, Buzz Lightyear, wanted Fairly Odd Parents (which I only found just as he went off it!) before his current Yu-Gi-Oh that he had 2 years ago. Another nightmare as he wanted the old style and it could only be found occassionally on e-bay which we eventually got. I've never done the walls or put borders up for this reason,, just ringed the changes with bedding and curtains. Only this time he seems to be asking for something that does not yet exist.
