English term or phrase: "cute motifs"
Estaría muy agradecido si me pudieráis ayudar a traducir esta frase al español: "don't think that little ones are naturally inclined to dayglo colours and CUTE MOTIFS".

Muchas gracias!!

motivos cursis
Explanation:
Cute is being used in a pejorative sense here, so this came to mind.

Note from asker to answerer
Al final me quedo con ésta, especialmente porque, en este contexto, como dice Aceavila, por el tono peyorativo de la frase queda mejor "cursi" que "mono" o "simpático".

Muchísimas gracias a todos!!

motivos simpáticos y tiernos

Explanation:
Si se trata de los motivos que a menudo aparecen en los muebles para los más chiquitos, podría marchar. "Motivos" se usa habitualmente con esa acepción. ¡Suerte!
