The Scribble Stage: Easy Ways to Keep Those Scribbles Contained

Before you know it, your lil one grabs a crayon and is scribbling away.
by

Before you know it, your lil one grabs a crayon and is scribbling away. The scribbling stage hits kids right around 2 years of age and focuses on big, circular coloring movements. It is a big exploration of your lil one's fine motor skills. But don't worry, those big marks and lines are your tot's way of expressing herself and will morph into more representational drawings in just a few short years. While your tot is busy grabbing at just about anything she can reach to use for scribbling, make sure those marks stay exactly where you want them with a few items that will encourage your lil one's development and keep those scribbles contained.

Download of the Day: ToonPaint For iPhone and Android

There's no shortage of great camera apps for your mobile device, but I love the simplicity by which you can transform your photos into artistic pieces.

There's no shortage of great camera apps for your mobile device, but I love the simplicity by which you can transform your photos into artistic pieces. So when I saw a photo transformed by ToonPaint, I was immediately sold on the app. It takes a photo and changes it into a paint by numbers-like canvas.

To use it, import an image or take one using your phone's camera. ToonPaint will then turn it into a sketch, enabling users to color it in using a range of paint colors. You can zoom into any area you choose to paint, and save the image in high resolution for printing or just large viewing. The resulting image is an awesome bright, comic book-like print.

The app is available for $2 on both iOS and Android devices.

We've rounded up a handful of drawing apps that can be pulled out of mama's bag at a moment's notice without having to worry about marks on the walls.

Guess Who Drew These?

You know him as one of the world’s most popular and acclaimed songwriters, musicians, and performers, but this rock icon also has a penchant for drawing.
by You know him as one of the world’s most popular and acclaimed songwriters, musicians, and performers, but this rock icon also has a penchant for drawing. While traveling on tour between 1989 and 1992, the artist created a collection of drawings of his encounters and observations, including landscapes, still-lifes, nudes, and street scenes, which were later exhibited in Germany and London. Can you guess who he is? I'll give you a hint: Heath Ledger played him in one of his last roles, a biographical film about the artist's life.

Pimp Your Crib: Frame Your Lil Artist's Artwork

A picture says a thousands words, especially if the artist is still learning his.
by

A picture says a thousands words, especially if the artist is still learning his. So instead of covering your refrigerator with your tot's latest creations, frame them.

The simple way to do it is with the Dynamic Artwork Frame (pictured, $25-$35), which easily opens and closes without having to remove it from the wall. This frame will also store up to 50 more pages behind the picture that is being displayed. If you're watching your budget as much as your budding artiste, then you can also just pick up a 8.5 x 11 Document Frame for around $8. Your child will be bursting with pride each time a new piece of his art is put on display, and you'll be thrilled with how neat it (and your fridge) looks.

I love how the card was homemade especially for this kid's Mom, who is merely referred to as "someone special." How wonderfully generic. Hallmark would be proud.
