Some kids love Legos, building and re-building structures for hours and some kids are “nature buffs” always digging in dirt and identifying bugs in the backyard. I was a crafty kid making things whenever possible when I was young, even now. My boys? Film-obsessed and have been ever since they saw their first film at age 3. TV shows or computer games are of little interest to them but movie watching, making, and all the trivia is their passion.
Jonathan Keller and Isabel Lopes, two local parents with children at the International Charter School of Pawtucket wanted a way to share reading resources and encourage reading among families with connections to or interest in the Portuguese language. They started the “bilingual” blog icsportugues.blogspot.com full of online resources for parents and caregivers who would like to read more with their children in Portuguese.
I try to encourage my kids’ creativity in a variety of ways. I’m always on the lookout for interesting activities, especially ones that I can do with all three of my kids, who range in age from two to nine. So when I saw the article Creating Art: A Child’s Work at Rhythm of the Home magazine, my first thought was, “That’s exactly how I feel about it!” and my second was, “Hmm, when can we do that project?!”
Supplies: Prestretched canvas, painter’s tape, liquid acrylic paints, paintbrushes, hanging hardware (optional; I found ours three for a dollar in the general hardware aisle at Home Depot)

SNEAK PEEK: EEP!
Like nothing you have ever seen before, this live action film utilizes limited special effects to create maximum emotional impact. It’s a gentle fable about a sweet bird-girl whose unexpected appearance in the lives of plain old humans inspires many happy discoveries. The bird-girl is played by Kenadie Jourdin-Bromley, who suffers from primordial dwarfism, a rare disease. Not expected to live more than a few days, Kenadie is now 8 years old and an international movie star, featured in a well-regarded documentary and now the star of this wonderful film.
