About this bundle
Dog Wall Art for Kids Room, 40 Prints
The story
Why has every dog dressed for the same occasion nobody explained?
Forty dogs have made an effort, and none of them will say for what. A golden retriever has found a pair of heart-shaped sunglasses and a floral bandana to match. A cream poodle wears round, polka-dot-lensed frames with a striped sweater pulled over her curls. A corgi has gone for star-shaped shades and a polka-dot bandana knotted at the neck, and a dalmatian has traded his spots for a sweater covered in someone else's. Nobody in this set is dressed for the vet, or for a walk, or for anything a dog actually needs sunglasses for — they are dressed the way a child dresses a favourite toy: for the sheer occasion of being looked at.
More than twenty breeds take a turn at it. A Yorkshire terrier squints behind round frames too big for her face. A French bulldog wears a bandana patterned in stripes that do nothing to soften his expression. A dachshund, a beagle, a Cavalier King Charles spaniel, a Boston terrier and a miniature schnauzer each get their own sunglasses shape and their own bandana or sweater, so no two dogs across the 40 repeat the same look twice. The effect is less a single running joke than 40 different dogs who each, independently, decided sunglasses were the answer.
More of the story
What happens when several dogs share one frame?
Ten of the 40 prints break from the one-dog format and put several dressed-up dogs into a single portrait — a small pack posed together, each one still wearing its own sunglasses and its own bandana or sweater, none of them coordinated with the others on purpose. A poodle in polka-dot frames might share a frame with a dachshund in a striped sweater and a beagle in heart-shaped shades: three different patterns, three different personalities, one print. That variety is deliberate — a parent hanging a group portrait gets several breeds and several sunglasses shapes for the price of one frame, rather than picking a single dog and committing.
The other 30 prints stay one dog to a page, which makes the group portraits function almost like a family photo dropped into a bundle otherwise built from individual character studies. Whichever dogs turn up on a particular gallery wall, the hot pink, turquoise, lavender and mustard palette keeps them from looking like they wandered in from a different set.
Inside the set
What's inside the 40 dog wall art prints?
40 dog portraits, all 40 in portrait orientation with no landscape designs in the set, organised in a numbered File Guide.
- Single-dog portraits (30) — golden retriever, cream poodle, lavender poodle, corgi, Yorkshire terrier, dalmatian, French bulldog, dachshund, beagle, Cavalier King Charles spaniel, Boston terrier and miniature schnauzer, each dressed in its own combination of sunglasses and a bandana or sweater
- Group portraits (10) — several dressed-up dogs posed together in one print, mixing breeds, sunglasses shapes and bandana or sweater patterns within a single frame
- Sunglasses — round polka-dot lenses, heart-shaped frames and star-shaped frames, rotated across the 40 designs
- Bandanas and sweaters — floral, striped and polka-dot patterns dressing the dogs not already carrying the sunglasses
- No lettering or quote prints and no learning charts — Groovy Dogs is character portraits only, 40 designs and nothing else
A closer look
A closer look at the 40
Look at the 40 in sequence and the pattern-making becomes part of the fun: a bandana in florals sits a few pages from one in stripes, and a sweater in polka dots turns up on a completely different breed later on, so no single colour or pattern is left to do all the work alone. The breeds repeat at different points across the 40 rather than each getting one single appearance, which means a family that owns, say, both a dachshund and a corgi can usually find more than one print of each to choose between. Because every one of the 40 is portrait format, the whole set hangs to a single, easy rhythm — no odd landscape piece to plan a gap around, just 40 dogs at the same shape, ready to mix in any order.

The palette
What colours fill the Groovy Dogs bundle?
Cream and white grounds carry every one of the 40 prints, with hot pink, lavender, turquoise, mustard yellow, coral orange and mint green doing the work of each dog's sunglasses, bandana and sweater. This is a bold 1970s rainbow rather than a nursery pastel — six strong colours in rotation rather than one signature shade repeated 40 times. It reads clearly against a white or natural wood frame and holds its own on a plain cream or white wall, the kind of wall that doesn't need curating to make the dogs the whole point.
Where it belongs
Which rooms is it best for?
- Best for a big-kid bedroom that wants a wall full of characters rather than a colour scheme.
- Best for the child who already has a favourite breed and wants to spot it among the 40.
- Best for a gallery wall built one dressed-up dog at a time from the numbered File Guide.
- Best for a shared kids' room where two children can each pick favourites from the same neutral cast of 40 dogs.
- Prefer cats to dogs? Cats Prints runs the same bold, big-kid-bedroom energy across 54 floral cats instead.
Gifting
A gift that arrives tonight
Groovy Dogs makes an easy gift for the child who already loves a specific breed, since a golden retriever fan and a corgi fan can each be handed the same $7.99 bundle and find their own dog inside it. It works as a birthday present chosen the morning of the party, a grandparent's gift where one favourite dog is picked from the numbered File Guide and printed large, or a shared-room upgrade when two children want their own dog wall without duplicating anyone else's taste. Because delivery is instant, it also covers the gift remembered on the drive to the party: pay at checkout, print at a shop on the way, frame it before the candles are lit.
Questions
Questions parents ask
How many dog breeds are in Groovy Dogs?
More than twenty recognisable breeds appear across the 40 prints, among them a golden retriever, a poodle, a corgi, a Yorkshire terrier, a dalmatian, a French bulldog, a dachshund, a beagle, a Cavalier King Charles spaniel, a Boston terrier, a miniature schnauzer, a husky, a pug, a labrador, a border collie, a boxer, a basset hound, a shiba inu, a westie and a cocker spaniel. Most breeds turn up more than once, in a different sunglasses shape or bandana pattern, and 10 of the 40 designs are group portraits with several breeds posed together in one frame.
Is this bundle only single-dog portraits?
No. 30 of the 40 prints are single-dog portraits, and the other 10 are group portraits with several dressed-up dogs sharing one frame. Both formats use the same retro sunglasses and bandana or sweater styling, so a single portrait and a group portrait hang together without looking mismatched on the same gallery wall.
Are there any lettering or alphabet prints in this set?
No. Groovy Dogs is 40 dog character portraits only, with no lettering, quote prints or learning charts anywhere in the set. Every design is a dog in retro sunglasses and a bandana or sweater, so a buyer looking specifically for typography or an alphabet chart should look elsewhere in the catalogue.
What size can I print these dog prints?
Every one of the 40 Groovy Dogs designs comes in five ratios at 300 DPI: 2:3 up to 24×36 inches, 3:4 up to 24×32 inches, 4:5 up to 24×30 inches, ISO A5 to A2 (with A1 possible for a statement wall), and 11×14 inch up to about 16×21 inches. Match the ratio to your frame before you print.
What paper should I print on?
Matte photo paper gives the cleanest finish on Groovy Dogs, since it holds the hot pink and turquoise without throwing back the glare a glossy sheet would. A smooth 200gsm-plus card stock is the good budget alternative, and either finish suits this bold, saturated palette. Print at 100 percent or actual size, never fit to page, so nothing is cropped.
Can I print the same dog more than once?
Yes. The personal-use licence covers every file in Groovy Dogs, so a favourite dog can be reprinted as many times as needed, for your own walls and for gifts, at home or at any print shop. The only line the licence draws is against reselling or sharing the files themselves.
Is 40 prints for $7.99 good value?
Divide $7.99 by 40 prints and each Groovy Dogs design costs roughly 20 cents, across five ratios rather than one fixed size. That price covers every future reprint too, not just the first one, so a gallery wall today and a birthday gift for a friend next year can both come from the same purchase.
Will this suit a nursery or an older kid's room?
Both, though it leans older. The hot pink, turquoise and mustard palette in Groovy Dogs is bold rather than soft, so it suits a toddler or big-kid bedroom more naturally than a newborn's corner, and nothing in the set is a licensed character with an age limit to outgrow.
