It was the first rainy afternoon of summer vacation, so what to do with a couple of six year olds? We pulled out the paper and pencils, found the Young Rembrandts How to Draw videos 
on YouTube and spent a lovely afternoon drawing.
If you haven’t already tried this, give it a shot… I keep filming and uploading new videos and there are even a few books you can download with tons of drawing tutorials to keep them busier, longer.
If your kids are at home all day every day, summer can get dull- and fast. But I have something to help everyone out… evict boredom from your lives with just one easy activity. 
It’s easy for kids to do on their own at home, on the road, with a friend, with a group of friends and it’s something they will want to do again and again.
DRAW! My new interactive books with 14 never before seen How to Draw videos are the perfect activity to keep your kids off the phone with you and busy on their own.
School is out and the kids are home…here are 11 activities the whole family can enjoy this summer!
1. Create a Summer Bucket List
2. Go to a local splash park
3. Enjoy a Backyard Camp Out
4. Make a lemonade stand
5. Sign up for YR summer classes at a local Rec Center

Meet Hannah and Grace. They love art. They love being creative. They love to tell people that art is their ‘thing’. For the most part, art is a solitary pursuit. 
That’s good because time spent doing art is time spent exploring and sharing one’s own imagination. But there are times that even artists want to be part of a group. They want to be on a team. Art class is a great place to gather and enjoy fellow art lovers, but how can they tell the world – they’re on the art team?

April is a great month to welcome Spring and enjoy the beautiful weather with outdoor activities! Enjoy these 10 activities I found that are fun for the whole family:
Here I am at my drawing board filming our new set of ‘How to Draw’ videos. These two-minute videos are free and designed to give you a taste of the Young Rembrandts step-by-step method of learning to draw.
Your children will enjoy learning but even more importantly, they’ll gain confidence that leaves them wanting to do more art. And that’s all good because art and specifically drawing is so good for them, especially if they’re visual learners.
Now, our videos aren’t just for your kids. You can have fun drawing and boost your confidence too!
