About this bundle
Cottagecore Woodland Nursery Prints, 58
For your child
What your child does with this wall
By the time a child is old enough to notice mood, not just colour, this deeper forest green and autumn brown set gives them more to read into — a fox playing violin for an audience of birds, hedgehogs reading by lantern light, a fawn stepping through bluebells. It suits a toddler who has outgrown the paler nursery palette but still wants animals rather than a grown-up print. Choose a few scenes to hang at their height and let them tell you which story each one is having.
The story
What does "more forest, less nursery" actually look like?
Somewhere on a mountain path, a fox is playing the violin for an audience of birds who did not ask for a concert and are not leaving either. Nobody knows the tune, which is the appeal — invent one at bedtime and it belongs to your house until the next night. Not far off, in a hollow tree lined with lanterns and borrowed books, three young hedgehogs share a story the way children share one favourite blanket between them.
Further along, a bear camps alone with a mug of something warm, three rabbits read together inside a quilted burrow, and a fawn stands very still among bluebells, close enough to a raccoon by the stream that they could be neighbours. Etsy buyers know this set as Whispering Woods, and the name suits it — mossy cottages, hollow-tree libraries and lantern-lit burrows, 58 scenes deep in deep forest green and autumn brown, none of them shouting for attention.
Woodland Stories 2 earns its "more forest, less nursery" description honestly: it suits a toddler bedroom or a shared sibling room as easily as a nursery, for parents who find pale sage and cream too soft for the mood they actually want. It also works as the natural second purchase for a family already hanging Woodland Stories on one wall — a matching gallery that grows without repeating a single design.
More of the story
Who else lives along this stretch of forest?
An otter pair takes tea on a mossy log by the river most afternoons, cups balanced between them and a dragonfly for company, while somewhere upstream a lynx sleeps stretched along a branch as if the whole forest belonged to her. A postal owl checks a red mailbox nailed to a birch at dusk, satchel over one wing, and a fox in a scarf shelters under an acorn-cap umbrella on a path lit by fireflies, in no particular hurry to get anywhere.
None of these animals ever meet each other on the page, and that is rather the point: Woodland Stories 2 reads less like one story than a forest with fifty-eight doors, each opening onto a different afternoon. A child can spend a year deciding whose day looks most like their own, and change their mind again the following winter.
Inside the set
What's inside the 58 cottagecore woodland nursery prints?
Fifty-eight designs, all portrait orientation, grouped into the same four scenes buyers know from the original Whispering Woods listing, with a numbered File Guide for finding a favourite twice.
- Forest friends on adventures — a fox and rabbit on a woodland picnic, a fox sheltering under an acorn-cap umbrella, a hedgehog carrying a lantern, an owl delivering letters
- Cosy cottage and burrow scenes — mossy forest cottages, hollow-tree libraries, quilted rabbit burrows lit by lantern glow, and three hedgehogs reading by that same lantern light
- Storybook moments — a fox playing violin for birds on a mountain path, three rabbits reading together, a bear camping alone with cocoa, a bear and a mouse gathering berries at a mossy cottage table
- Sweet woodland portraits — a fawn among bluebells, a raccoon by the stream, a sleepy hedgehog curled on a mossy log

The palette
What makes this palette moodier than the original?
Deep forest green and autumn brown carry every one of the 58 designs, richer and warmer than a pale nursery palette, with lantern-gold light doing the work sage and cream do elsewhere. It's the look Pinterest's 2026 forecasts have started calling Wilderkind, and it sits just as comfortably filed under cottagecore or vintage storybook. The tones suit dark wood furniture, forest-green walls, or a cream room that wants one deeper accent.
Where it belongs
Which rooms is it best for?
- Best for a parent who finds pale sage and cream too soft and wants deeper, richer tones instead.
- Best for a toddler bedroom or shared sibling room moving out of baby pastels.
- Best for a second, coordinating gallery wall for a family that already owns Woodland Stories.
- Best for a shopper searching for forest animal prints with real names and small stories, not single character portraits.
- Already have the calmer original? Woodland Stories runs a paler, sage-toned forest green across 90 prints, for a softer newborn nursery.

Gifting
A gift that arrives tonight
Woodland Stories 2 makes an easy baby shower gift for a parent who has already said pale pastels aren't their style, and just as easy a Christmas gift for a family furnishing a toddler's room instead of a nursery. It suits a big-kid-room upgrade when a child moves out of the crib, and it works well as a second gift for a family that already owns Woodland Stories — a coordinating gallery wall that never repeats a design. Because delivery is instant, it also covers the gift remembered late: pay, download, and the 58 files are ready to print before the wrapping paper is.
Questions
Questions parents ask
What's the difference between Woodland Stories and Woodland Stories 2?
Woodland Stories 2 is the moodier sibling: 58 prints in deep forest green and autumn brown, more narrative and better suited to a toddler or big-kid room. Woodland Stories is the calmer original, 90 prints in a paler, muted palette built for a newborn's nursery. Both share five ratios; Woodland Stories 2 is $7.67, and Woodland Stories, with more prints, is $8.44. Many buyers own both sets.
Is this too dark or moody for a baby's nursery?
It can work in a newborn's nursery, but the deep forest green and autumn brown palette reads richer than the pale sage and cream most nurseries lean on. Parents wanting a softer newborn room tend to prefer Woodland Stories instead, while Woodland Stories 2 suits a nursery already planned around deeper, warmer tones.
What colours are in this set?
Deep forest green and autumn brown run through all 58 Woodland Stories 2 designs, lit by warm lantern-gold detail in the hollow-tree and burrow scenes. It reads as a richer, warmer palette than a typical pastel nursery, closer to a favourite illustrated storybook than a colour-coordinated room set.
What frame sizes are included?
Every one of the 58 designs comes in five ratios with an unusually granular size range: 2:3 from 4×6 up to 16×24 inch, 3:4 from 6×8 up to 18×24 inch, 4:5 from 8×10 up to 16×20 inch, plus the full ISO A-series and 11×14 inch. That range fits more than 20 standard frame sizes without cropping.
Can I print these at home?
Yes. Each of the 58 files is a 300 DPI print-ready JPG, sharp enough for home printers using matte photo paper or 200gsm-plus cardstock set to actual size or 100 percent, not fit to page. The larger sizes in each ratio suit a print shop better than most home printers.
Can I mix prints from both woodland sets on one gallery wall?
Yes. Woodland Stories and Woodland Stories 2 share the same forest-animal cast and five-ratio sizing, so prints from both sets frame consistently side by side. The palettes sit close enough in family, both built on forest green, that a mixed wall reads as one deliberate room rather than two separate purchases.
Is this a good baby shower or Christmas gift?
Yes, especially for a parent who has mentioned wanting something moodier than typical pastel nursery art. Because delivery is an instant download, Woodland Stories 2 also works as a last-minute gift: pay, download, and the 58 files are ready to print the same day, with no shipping wait involved.
How much does each print actually cost?
Fifty-eight designs for $7.67 works out to about 13.2 cents per print, still less than a greetings card, with every ratio and every future reprint already included. One payment covers a toddler-room gallery wall, a matching gift for a cousin, and any print reprinted years later without buying the file twice.
