Is this mural too childish for a 9 year-old?

[PAVolunteer]

We got this lovely mural in our playroom when DS was a toddler. He's 9 now and I am starting to think that his friends might consider it a bit babyish when they come over to play Mario Kart and Roblox.

It's good quality thick paper with a slightly rough texture which means, ironically, that it would be very easy to paint over. But I also feel it would slightly break my heart!

What you you think?

I wouldn't put it up for a child that age, but also wouldn't be in a particular hurry to take it down. Just do something more to his current tastes next time you would be planning on decorating.

Brazil was full of VW Beetles when I lived in Sao Paulo in the early noughties! Many of them ran on sugar cane alcohol. Along with Mexico, it was one of the most well-known places for Beetles long after they became old-fashioned in Europe. I don't remember seeing any in Cuba, but I went there quite a bit later.

I'll give you the misplaced Vespa though!

Why does it have to be more muted? Lots of adults enjoy bright colours.

It feels like you're choosing, but it's a playroom so I think the kids can have more input.
