If you live near a JoAnn, Pier One, One World Market, or a framing
store, check them for very large posters. I had no idea they would be
so hard to find online. Perhaps you could frame and mat them to make
them lager on the wall. Another idea is to purchase canvas stretchers
at a frame or craft store and staple a colorful children's print to
them. They look great on a wall, and are simple to make.

Here's how to do it

Hope you find some ideas from this answer!

Sincerely, Crabcakes

pets and child art prints: www.mindtwin.com

Also, if you have prints you'd like to turn into large posters,
calypso is the printer for almost everything of size on the wet coast.
 http://www.calypsoinc.com/

They have instructions for how to save your file for best printing. I
tried them out, and was very pleased.

Calgonia-ga,

   I had considered posting some printing services, but assumed they
could/would not enlarge copyrighted work. Are you saying one can send 
a print to Calypsoinc and they can enlarge ANY print?

   Since the prints on mindtwin don;t meet the customer's size
requirements, can CalypsoInc legally reprint them in a larger size?

   Thanks, Crabcakes

Hi Irenabalin,

Crabcakes certainly has provided ample information in her answer to your question.

Maybe I have misunderstood what you have in mind, but I personally
would think twice about decorating an infant's room with posters
showing things significantly larger than life-sized; firstly, because
I question how infants' visual perception deals with unrealistically
large images; secondly, because it may give the child a false
impression of the actual toy or whatever prior to its actually
experiencing the same.

NO, I have no professional background to support my feelings.  
This is just a well-meant comment.

Regards, Myoarin
