Sniffing out the stuff that kids really get best
Moose does “reverse” graffiti. He cleans away the dirt and grime to leave cool images on the newly clean surfaces. Not only does he make the world a better place to look at it, but he helps us realize how dirty the world really is (tip BoingBoing). For more info, check it out here.
These are pretty unique papercraft with nice curves and lots of animals. They also have motorcycles and engines to build. We haven’t done it yet in our house, but it’s on our weekend plan list. Check them out here.
In 1992, Severn Suzuki, age 13, spoke before the United Nations and told all the adults what harm they have done to the world, and asked them what they are going to do to save it. The world leaders listened closely to what she had to say.
Now is the time, for everyone to speak up, and ask what we can do. Actions speak louder than words. As Severn showed, one child can inspire millions to change their ways.
What if you could have any kind of eyes, nose, mouth, ears, tails, or horns you wanted? And could choose to dwell in a cave or fly in the sky? Well, now you can. Check this out.
I had to make a quick trip to LA this week. It was worth it just to spy another Kustom Kar.
We don’t have TV in our house. No cable. No broadcast. But we do have a DVD player and we do have the internet. Got keep a toe in pop culture somehow…
As a result though I only know Yo Gabba Gabba via YouTube, but I have to say I love this marriage of Indie Rock and Animation. Both these songs, by Red House Painters and Dean & Britta are great, and the animation is lovely.
I saw another installation/film of Blu’s awhile back at a gallery in NYC with my family and we were blown (bluwn?) away. In that one you could see him painting the animation but this one, sans human, with the sun and clouds working as the clock, adds onto the prior one’s promise.
