Art: Summer Reading - Ages 8+

Summer Reading helps kids stay motivated, maintain reading skills, and learn all summer long! Kids will build confidence and avoid summer slide as they master literacy skills with interactive games, challenges, and storybooks.

This Launchpad contains the following apps:

Art Puzzle: Sliding Pieces
This fun app introduces kids and adults to some of the world's greatest paintings! Puzzles are created by slicing the painting into strips and scrambling them. To solve the puzzle simply slide the slices into the right position in as few moves as possible.

Cause and Effect
Celebrate creativity with Crayola! Looking closely at art helps us imagine a story and predict how it could change. In this activity, you will use a piece of art as a story starter – then predict what could happen next.

Comic Maker
Do you want to write comics? Express your creativity by making your own comic books using a huge collection of background, characters, objects and effects.

CRAFT: Draw A Comic Strip
It's Craft Time with Air and Space! Create your own comic strip adventure story! Join museum educator Ann Caspari as she demonstrates how to draw a simple comic strip and create your own space adventure story.

Create Children's Book

Easy Peasy: English for Kids
An ideal accompaniment to supplement school lessons using a variety of learning methods including flashcards, finding pairs, completing a sentence, and more. English language learners can choose their own lists while learning at their own speed.

Flourish
Practice the art of calligraphy lettering, script-style handwriting with 52 tracing letters (lower and upper case alphabet). Add flourishing cursive loops at the start and end of each letter or word to give your handwritten letters an artful appearance.

Happy Brush Calligraphy
Happy Brush Paint & Calligraphy is a minimalist drawing app which allows users to create the art of ink painting on your Android tablet. Designed for all ages, Happy Brush Calligraphy provides artists with a fun and simple way to express themselves!

I Want to Be in a Book
Read aloud for kids, written by kids! The KidTime StoryTime Puppets are in their own book! Two KidTime StoryTimers fans wrote this story starring Doug the Dinosaur and fan favorite, the Storyteller! It's proof the power to create is in your hands!

Learning to Fly
Museum educator Ann Caspari will read the original story "Learning to Fly." The Three Friends have trouble playing a flight video game and then have more fun creating play cockpits where they can pretend to be pilots. After the story we create our own cardboard aircraft cockpits.
