Many of you already know that we've been big fans of Crafty Art World for a long time. And with the new look of their website, we thought we'd reference Artist Anika's Peter Pan drawing tutorial as an opportunity for you to check it out again... and the many crafty ideas that are there for kids. Take a look-see and let us know what you think. Update: Be sure to check out their new Tree Frog video tutorial, too.
Here's an update from one of our favorite websites - CommonSense Media, a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to improving the media and technology lives of kids and families
Caroline Knorr has written a short and sweet article about helping teens control their online privacy with 3 simple rules to keep in mind (using Facebook as an example):
Stick with your friends
Keep private information private.
Don't let your information get away from you.
We at Buzzing Kids World are big supporters of keeping our kids safe. We trust that you are, too, and that you'll find this article helpful. ^.^
Feel a beat coming on? Here's an idea...start your own Rhythm Band! We found some cool items to get you started. This is your opportunity to show off your creative skills with:
Wrist and Ankle Bells -
shake, rattle, and roll to
your own dance routine.
Rhythm Sticks - whether it's
off-beat, upbeat, or on-beat,
make sounds with the sticks!
Beat Shakers -
feel a jam session coming on?
Then... gather your friends together, get out your favorite recorder, and make music!
Now all you need is a cool name like: The Street Beat Combo, Rythym Belles, or The Shaker Music Makers. You get the idea - make music! Like Love, it's a universal language.
