While sitting at Thanksgiving dinner, one one of my husband's relatives had a pile of cartoon-like pictures sitting on the table that she had drawn. Not knowing that she was artistically inclined, I asked her about the pile of drawings. She told me about the website activitytv.tv. She had showed me how she came up with her drawings (according to her, she was NOT artistically inclined, but the website had guided her through the process). Each cartoon begins with a simple shape, number, letter, etc. From there, cartoonist Bruce Blitz describes the steps to creating a fun cartoon.
Upon going to the activity tv website, I found that there were many activities for kids to partake in - even at home. From cartooning and origami to cooking and crafts. Even though quite a bit of the material is geared towards the younger kids, I do believe some of my juniors and seniors would enjoy a few of these activities - especially at the end of a marking period or the day before Christmas break!.
