Let’s be honest, a modern art museum can only hold a kid’s attention for so long. I’m guessing this awesome (unofficial) audio tour created by kids will make everything a bit more relatable. “Each piece of art is analyzed by experts aged 3-10, as they share their unique, unfiltered perspective on such things as composition, the art’s deeper meaning, and why some stuff’s so weird looking.” Brilliant.

Have an iPhone? Have a kid? If the answers to those questions are “yes”, then proceed immediately to the app store and begin downloading Gif Shop. An animated gif creator that is super intuitive and super fun. This creative possibilities are endless.

If you happen to be in Queensland, Australia, sometime before March 12th, stopping by the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art to see Yayoi Kusama’s amazing interactive exhibition is probably a good idea. Find more pictures and info here.

There are still a couple of (significant) kinks to be worked out, but even so, this is my favorite iPad app for kids yet. Build a world of characters and props, then bring it all to life by moving them around and speaking the dialog or sound effects. Art Maker records the movements and audio and creates a movie you can play back and enjoy together. The hiccups… the audio can slip out of synch, objects sometimes vanish and there’s no way to save your videos outside of the app (or share them). But I’m hopeful an update will soon arrive to fix these issues in an otherwise awesome app. Learn more by visiting their website or download it from iTunes.

Simply no words to describe how much we love this Pac-Man Halloween Garland.

If you’re head is hurting trying to figure out how to decorate your nursery, you could do a lot worse than to line the wall with some of the amazing animal prints of Sharon Montrose. She has a virtual zoo to choose from on her site, check it out here.

And if gorgeous animal photography is your thing, make sure to check out our earlier post about Andrew Zuckerman’s Creature. The perfect coffee table book once your kids are old enough to not destroy anything left on a coffee table.

If you’re a fan of fun and happiness, you’ll likely also be a fan of Lullatone. This video pretty much sums up their playful spirit. The Japan-based duo are cranking out ear and eye candy at an inspiring pace.

Their music will transport you. Need an alternative to Brian Eno’s Music for Airports to help your baby drift off to blissful sleep? Their Looping Lullabies will do the trick. Also nice, they let you pay what you want, so if you’re on a budget, you can still enjoy their work. Like true artists, they just want to be able to keep doing what they’re doing. And we hope they succeed.
