Easiest coloring tool for kids.

May be brother's daughter Rekha Ravikumar would do a much better than job than me. I impatiently did a hasty job.

Yes, I painted (?) this fairy using an online coloring tool that would make kids spend hours online but it would be creative.

The actual task of adding color is absolutely easy. There is a virtual pail in place of mouse. Hover over the color of your choice and click. The pail would be filled up with your chosen color.

Now take the paint pail to the character you have selected to paint. Clicking again on the character with the pail would instantly turn the drawing into a painted wonder.

This online coloring tool is offered by Kidopo. It was quite easy to use the coloring tool. The end product can be saved online or printed.

Did you hear your grandma say, come on child; I have no time to tell you stories anymore; I must catch with my friend in Facebook".

You can't blame her. After all, she is living in the age of digital world and digital social networking has not spared anyone. Your grandma too is a willing victim.

However, don't worry children!! There are plenty of video stories online that will be much more entertaining and more insightful too.

What are Pasta Letters?

My brother-in-law's daughter is just 5 years old and the most intelligent in our family. It seems she is God's own kid. She possesses extraordinary creative skills. She is already learning, dance, music and art.

She asked me yesterday if I have time to hear story. I said yes and listened to a lovely story that was taught in her school.

I remembered Childstoryhour.com where kids are encouraged to submit their story in their section called Pasta Letters.

They specialize in kid's stories, crafts, coloring pages, finger food recipes and so much more fun stuff. In their parents' section you can find advice for parents and a lot of interesting ideas to spend quality time with your children.

Yes, I read a few stories there and as a teacher/parent, I can say that I am impressed with the stories and other useful information.

I would say, this web site is more for parents than kids.
