There's nothing quite like a child's drawing. Even the most eccentric artist can only hope to achieve a fraction of the creativity that goes into artwork made by a kid. Even when a young one takes on a familiar subject, you end up seeing it in a way you never have before. I've never seen an art project from a kid that hasn't made me think. Thanks to Budsies, we don't have to let their art waste away on the refrigerator door. No, with their help, we can bring these...

Kids are way too sheltered these days. With 24 hours of children’s television available, they aren’t forced to watch Unsolved Mysteries and America’s Most Wanted like I was. Stir things up a bit. Get a Zombie Pet Plush. The huggable undead might bring them some sweet–yet still a little scary–cuddles by day, but turn the lights out and wait for the screams! Look at these things…they’re pretty gross looking. Choose from Bitey – a possibly rabid baby werewolf, Deadington Ruxworth – a stuffed bear, or Frostbite – an undead penguin.

While I hate to use the word "precious" when describing anything related to children, there's just no other way to describe these illustrations by Pascal Campion. The San Francisco-based illustrator and animator makes us stop and appreciate the fleeting moments in life - the kind that pass us by in the blink of an eye. As a first time mom, these illustrations seem to take on a whole new meaning.
You can tell that this French-American illustrator finds inspiration in his own family life. As he says on his website, "Sometimes it’s being at the supermarket or giving a bath to my daughter and she looks at me and smiles. It lasts for a second, but the memory of it stays with me for a long time. These are the things that interest me the most."

It will have lasted only 30 minutes in all, but the symbolic images of this moment will remain in history. On July 29, three huge pink seesaws were placed on either side of the U.S.-Mexico border to allow the children it separates to play together. This project resonates particularly well when the Supreme Court has just authorized Donald Trump to spend some $2.5 billion on his famous wall.

World War II is known to be the deadliest conflict in human history. Somewhere between 50 to 85 million people lost their lives due to the pointless, mindless war that was based on two Utopian ideologies. One of the most atrocious acts done by Nazis was the wiping out of the Lidice village located in former Czechoslovakia (now in the territory of Czech Republic).

My name is Anne Widya and, since my kids were little, I’ve loved trying new recipes, and making fruit carvings and other cute things out of food for my kids since they were little. I get inspiration from my 4 children, friends and everything around me. If I see a cute toy, or pictures from newspaper, magazines, books or the internet I will take a picture of it and think about how to recreate that using fruits, meat or vegetables. For breakfast, my art usually takes around 45 – 60 minutes for...
