IF Kids :: What Artists Do with Paper
While paper is frequently used in drawings it is a less common material for sculptures. Jen Stark slices through layers of paper to create her colorful works of art. The colors explode forward or draw the viewer closer into her galaxy.

Teach your children about the primary colors with this catchy song by OK Go for Sesame Street, then make this recipe for finger paint and do a little color experimenting of your own.

IF Kids :: Thinking Outside the Crayon Box
Don’t you love opening a fresh box of crayons! Oh, the many possibilities! For Peter Goldlust they are the base material for his miniature sculptures, each one meticulously hand-carved into abstract forms.
Christian Faur casts his own “pixels of wax” to create the necessary palette for his hauntingly beautiful pointillist images, such as “Mortgage on the Future.” The dashes of color are coded to an alphabet and if you know the key, the image may be read.

IF Kids :: App Review
As a children’s book illustrator and also as a father of two children, ages 8 and 5, I fell in love with Timbuktu’s amazing iPad magazine app. It’s free to download and use. My kids and I had a blast looking through and interacting with it for hours. If you have children this is a must have family time app! Fantastic illustrations, photos, interactions and design.
Top marks to Timbuktu Magazine! I give this app 5 IF Kids Bee’s out of 5
