Kids Need Art!
I started Young Rembrandts in 1988, it has now become a recognized leader in art education. Drawing with Young Rembrandts develops the whole brain and the whole child. Children are visual, physical and auditory beings.

Summer Boredom Busters
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.

Summer is Here! Now what…?
Summer Vacation has finally arrived and while we all deserve a break from hectic schedules and homework, we need to keep our kids active. A lot can happen over summer to help build a child’s mind – but left unattended, a great deal of what’s been learned last year can be lost. 
Summer is the perfect time to experiment with different kinds of learning for different learning styles; all while keeping it light and having fun.
Summer Activities for the whole Family
Family Book Contest- summer reading lists can often feel impossible to get through, but organize a family book contest to encourage participation and excitement! 
A visual star chart, tracking each members progress is a great reminder for everyone involved, and don’t forget a prize for the winner(s)!!
Redecorate the Yard- redecorating the house can be an expensive undertaking with a lot of planning involved, but redecorating the yard can be done in a few short hours. Dig up holiday lights to string across the patio, plant flowers or vegetables in small pots or “paint” the sidewalk with washable chalk. Celebrate the hard work with a special outdoor dinner or picnic and bask in the mental (and physical) exercise done by all.

The spring collection is here! “How to Draw Princesses & Enchanted Treasures” is a set of 7 different drawing activities for kids to do right at home. The great thing about my eBook is your kids can do these on their own or as a group!

How a Prickly Cactus Gives Me the Sweetest Sentiment
One of my favorite lessons of all time is about to be drawn in Young Rembrandts classrooms all across the country. It’s called – Cacti. 
You’ve heard me talk about this lesson before. My son Matt’s drawing, (pictured here) done many years ago, is still a personal favorite and hangs in my home and office.
Young Rembrandts students should be completing this piece sometime in the VERY near future so keep an eye out when they come home with their version of this masterpiece. This particular lesson requires a tremendous amount of time, focus and patience, especially when drawing, coloring and adding so many teeny tiny spines all over the cacti. We hope you will take special notice and appreciate your child’s creativity and hard work.
Learning to Draw: Fun for the Whole Family
Young Rembrandts teaches over 30,000 preschool and elementary children how to draw every week, but we don’t stop there! We have an ongoing collection of short, free videos that can teach anyone the basics of drawing, even us adults. Grab your kids and prepare to amaze yourself as you discover the Power of Drawing with Young Rembrandts!
