This charming example of interactive children's art at London's Ormond Street Hospital are sure to brighten up your day. The engaging [interactive light installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-digital-artwork) was created by Jason Bruges Studio and is entitled 'Nature Trail.' The trail is a friendly and fun way to "brighten the [children's] way to the operating theatre." Bruges design studio wanted to turn the [hospital walls into a natural canvas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fraimic) -- when children touch the wall, scenes of forest creatures come alive. The wall is a high-tech bespoke design comprising of integrated LED panels and graphic wallpaper.

The LED panels are placed at different heights along the wall -- making the images of horses, deers, hedgehogs and birds accessible to children of all ages. The artwork contains 70 LED panels and uses a grand total of 72,000 LED bulbs. This is a truly charming way to engage children with art in a meaningful way.
