Blue Whale

view blue whale mural.

The whale is life sized at 15 metres long. As this mural is on the side of the nursery a baby is shown swimming alongside the mother.

At the bottom of the mural each child traced down and painted their own sea creature. Fish shaped mirrors were added at child height to make the experience more interactive.
