Texts and Tunes: I'd Like the Goo-Gen-Heim
There are good books and then there are texts that inspire. A.C. Hollingsworth's love of the Guggenheim Museum shines through on every page of I'd Like the Goo-Gen-Heim ($15), the story the artist wrote and illustrated.
Museums Are a Playground For Max Bratman and All Babes
There's a period of time after a babe is born when some parents are at a loss over how to entertain the infant. The wee one may be old enough to venture out on daily outings, but too young to hold themselves up in the sand or on a swing, making trips to the playground a lil awkward when you don't have an older child or friends with kids. If buggy rides and "mommy and me" classes have you in the doldrums, consider one of the finer things in life — museums.
Lil Find: Taro Gomi Drawing Books
When your tot grows tired of the yellow lined legal pad, treat him to a super special Taro Gomi drawing book.
Since there are four different books to choose from, there's one for every lil artist.
If your honey needs a little direction, Scribbles ($14) or Doodles ($14) might be the right choice as they gives wee ones an image to build on for every page.
Ga Ga or Gag: Itty Bitty Babies
Camille Allen is a 27–year–old Canadian artist who sculpts clay to create miniature life–like babies. She uses soft English mohair on their noggins making them look and feel real. With photographs as her inspiration, she molds her babes and paints them with meticulous perfection adding wrinkles, fingernails and other fine details.
Kidoodles: Paint Pumps
Your mini Matisse has never had it easier now that Land of Nod is offering Finger Picasso Paint and Finger Paint Pads ($5.95).
The non toxic paint comes in pump dispensers making it convenient for lil hands to create and clean up. And, the 15 oz.

Saving Childhood Art, One DVD at a Time
You love your kids, but you can't keep all their creations. Once your tot reaches the toddler stage, you become inundated with pictures, collages and all the other projects they pack home from daycare or preschool. And, since there's only so much space on the fridge, you need an alternative.

Pimp Your Crib: Me Art
There are few images a child would rather see than his own face. While framing pictures of your tot is one way to make them happy, putting his image on canvas brings a whole new life to the likeness. Me Art allows you to create your own piece of artwork based on a favorite photo.
Turn Your Child's Art or Photo Memories Into a Bound Book
It's only natural for parents to think every scribble or brush stroke their child creates is a masterpiece, but if you are anything like me that means you have stacks of masterpieces you don't know how to archive for safekeeping. A company called inkubook can help you create a classic bound book of art and photo memories that will give all those creations a worthy home. All you have to do is scan the pages, save them as a jpg, png, or gif file and upload them to the inkubook website.
