Mark Kistler's Mini-Marshmallows!

Coming from a large family and being the only one of mature enough age to babysit, I watch my nephews, cousins, siblings, and many other children at least twice a week. Coming up with things to keep those kids occupied while you take a break can be difficult, time consuming, and ultimately a total disaster. (Especially art projects!) Today, while flipping through the channels, I happened upon PBS' Mark Kistler who has a drawing show called "Mark Kistler's Mini-Marshmallows." Each show features a step-by-step visual and audio instruction on how to draw common and sometimes out of this world things. He offers instruction on such objects as flowers, people, and mermaids sitting in coral tubes! My five year old cousin, Ava has just discovered the show as well and watches the episodes on Mark Kistler's website. I am an elementary education major and seeing educational things that can be at a child's fingertips really excites me, especially when it helps them develop their artistic and creative side! Enjoy!
