Kids picture maker - take a virtual trip to a beach in this game

games, kids, kids games No Comments

I made this game / page and am very proud of it. It’s a virtual trip to a beach that you cam manipulate with people, animals, sand and even rubber duckies. I picked all these beach pictures and put them into a page to allow other kids… and grown-ups to create their own beach scenes and pictures. Basically, what you do is open the picture/doll maker and select a background for the beach if you want, then you double-click on the props, animals, people and other things to move them into the scene you are creating.

After the characters and beach items are in your picture, you can play around with the positioning of the characters and items by moving them around using the mouse. When finished playing the game, the entire beach trip may be saved.

WHAT TO DO

 

Find an old pair of jeans with a pocket that fits your MP3 player snugly. Cut around the seam along the bottom and sides of the pocket, but leave the waistband of the jeans intact. Dress up your pocket by gluing on patches, beads, or other decorations.




Optical Illusion

Stare at the picture below. Concentrate really hard on the small black plus sign in the middle of the picure. Keep staring until all you can really see is the black plus and the moving dots seem to be in the background.

After a few seconds, the pink dots moving around the sides of the picture will begin to disappear one at a time in order! pretty cool!
