I thought I would share two Homeschool Resources for Art with you. Animation-ish and Coloring4All. If you’ve used either of these websites leave me a comment and let me know what you thought of the website and why.
Animation-ish is an easy-to-use, web-based animation program that inspires creativity, encourages creative thinking, boosts technical literacy, and teaches basic animation and graphic design concepts.
Grades PreK-5, with parental supervision This ad-supported website offers a range of fun, free, creative online coloring pages and puzzles for kids.
When you get to the site you’ll see a brief introduction and an icon menu of over 50 online coloring pages. Children can virtually color pictures of cartoon and storybook characters as well as animals and everyday things. Also check out the top menu that includes:
- Printable – Print out black and white drawings of favorite storybook and animation characters as well items like flowers and a snowman – and color them offline.
- Puzzles – Put jigsaw puzzles together online. Choose from a selection of images, then drag-and-drop the pieces into place.
NOTE: We found the Drawing and Dots did not work for us, but there is enough here otherwise to have fun. Also, because there are randomly generated ads on this site, parents should preview the site and supervision Internet use.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
