How to Make a Tshirt

Every year at Creative Summer there's a new shirt that we get to paint on Festival Day.

On Tuesday we had a design workshop. We designed Tshirts. I really liked that we were drawing. We were drawing something crazy and then we discussed what we like the most in the drawings of others. My favorite part was choosing those parts and then mixing them to make in big piece. It was creative and fun!

TV Review H20 Just add Water.

Australian mermaids send positive message to tweens. Ages 7+

When I was at my grandmother’s, I was watching a TV series “H2O Just Add Water.” It’s about three mermaids, Riki, Cleo, and Emma. They are swimming with dolphins, sharks, and other animals. I really like Emma and Riki because they are pretty and smart. They have adventures with fish and monsters.

People should watch it because mermaids are very cool and interesting.

The Missing Crayons

Once there was a girl Lucy. She loved her new colorful crayons.

Movie Review

Powerful, intense animated tale of life under Taliban rule. Ages 11+ “Breadwinner” is an amazing movie about a girl who cannot freely be herself. She needs to dress like a boy to provide for her family. It’s an incredible story about the importance of friends and family. Additionally, the animation is just beautiful! It is very colorful, typical for eastern art!
