My 2 year old just colored on our HD tv with crayon!! Help!!!?
From Popular Mechanics: Q: I have a new LCD television, and I'm not sure how to clean it. With my old tube set, I just spritzed it with Windex, but the surface of my new TV isn't glass. A: "We recommend using LCD cleanser that can be purchased at any electronics store," says a customer service tech for Westinghouse, a manufacturer of popular LCD televisions. The cleaner can be found in both spray and wipe form. But what exactly goes into these LCD solutions? Kai Hui of MG Chemicals, makers of one of many available LCD cleaners, explains, "The main ingredient in most wipes on the market is water. There needs to be a small percentage of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to help get rid of the grease from busy fingers." Some LCD cleaning solutions may include up to 50 percent IPA, according to Hui, but any more than that could damage the screens. Since I'd never suggest you spend more money than you have to, I'd start with a clean, soft cloth and regular ol' tap water. You can add just a capful of isopropyl alcohol to a glass of water if you need something to help loosen the greasy gunk on the screen, so it can wipe off more easily. Get the cloth damp and then apply to the screen instead of splashing the screen and trying to wipe up the liquid; and always — always — use a clean cloth, as tiny, hard particles trapped in the fibers can scratch the surface of your screen. ---- You may also try applying a small amount of heat to soften the wax from the crayon, and then wipe off with the same alchohol and water based solution.

Why do people see crayons as their childhood souvenirs?
I didn't always live in this world.I used to live in a world where dragons were green.Where cats were red.Where trees were blue.Where my best friend was a purple butterfly named KC.Where every strand of my hair was a different color.I was an atrocious artist, but the need to express myself overcame my illiteracy, so I drew. Boy, did I draw.When I picked up my crayons, anything could happen. Dragons could breathe chocolate, cats could apparate, trees could be spontaneously generated. I drew anything and everything that occurred to my crazy little mind. I drew the green dragon and the red cat together under the blue tree, and rainbow-headed me beside it all. The scene might not have made sense to anyone else, but it made perfect sense to me.As I grew up, my world changed. All the colors I once knew dimmed. Dragons weren't real. Cats were either tabby or tom. Trees were never blue; just green in the spring, dead in the winter. And my hair was black. Just black.But every time I come across crayons, my childhood comes back. The colors come back. Trees can be turquoise. Cats can be purple. Anything can happen.That's why I keep my crayons in a box safe in my room. Whenever the world gets a little too grey, they remind me that there is color everywhere, just waiting to be seen.They're a ticket back to the world I used to live in.
My almost 3 year old son has no interest in coloring or drawing. Is that odd?
hey, relax it is not important for every child to have the same stereotypical interests . maybe he has some other interests like music.. many great talents are different are discovered very early. try giving him some musical instrument to play... or enroll him in some sports activities...or any other extra curricular stuff.. and if nothing interests him..jus relax...sooner or later your young one may discover his own hobby or something he is totally passionate about.. take care.
My 2 year old son doesn't like to draw or paint...?
My two year old son i cannot get to draw or paint. I have tried different ways to get him interested but just doesn't seem keen. He did like to at one stage but has given up all together. And when i have his interest in the activity, it will only last 2 minutes. He's to preoccupied in doing other things. Does any have any ideas to get a 2 year old keen on painting or drawing?? Or what do your children take an interest in with art?
HELP!! What could cause my child's stool to turn blue?
My "mother-in-law" had babysat for my fiance and I and when we came to pick up our two children, my son was passed out (very tired). The next day, his stool was so blue, it could have been mistaken for bright blue plado. I thought that it was something he ate, maybe even a crown at his my "mother in law's" house. I brushed it off at first until the next time his mom watched our kids, he was passed out (very tired) again! The next day, his stool was bright blue like plado. He was about 14 or 15 months when this happened and EXTREMELY active. I thought that his mom might have been drugging him with something to make him fall asleep. Could Nyquil or Aleve sleep tablets possibly cause this? What could cause his stool to be so bright blue? We had NO crayons or markers and his mother said she didn't have any crayons, nor did he eat anything blue at his mom's house or our house...please help!! Is this a police matter?
How do I introduce my 3 year old to art so that he/she may get interested in it?
My 4-year old daughter came home from preschool one day and announced that she wasn’t good at art and didn’t want to do it anymore.I could feel her pain. I certainly couldn’t help her with art. In fact I remember reaching a similar conclusion when I was around 8 years old. Maybe we’re just not an artistic family…But I wasn’t convinced. I was never taught art as a kid. People handed me materials and expected me to somehow discover my inner artist. Well, that didn’t happen. I spoke to my daughter’s art teacher at preschool, and discovered that they were using a similar approach, all about discovery and exploration. As near as I could tell, there was no actual teaching of art. That approach hadn’t worked for me, and it seemed it wasn’t working for my daughter.But I wondered, what if we approached art in more of the way we approach reading, or math, or music? What if we actually taught kids how to draw things realistically? I started researching online, and found that there are art classes that actually teach art. Excited, I signed up my daughter.On day 1 of her new art class, and at age 5, this is what she drew:That year that she took art, every Saturday she would come home with an absolutely incredible drawing. She drew realistic tigers, trains, people, birds, and so many other things. And she loved it. I would post the photos on my Facebook page, and my friends would all comment on how talented she was. I had to explain to them that this wasn’t talent, this was good teaching.Some months later, my 2 year old son asked me to draw him a gorilla. I was reluctant - my art hasn’t gotten any better since I gave up on it at age 8. But he was insistent, so I drew one. It looked like this:He started crying.He wanted a real gorilla, not whatever the heck that was that I had just drawn. So I took a deep breath, googled some images of gorillas, and applied the techniques that I had observed my daughter developing over the past year. This is what I came up with:He was so happy he asked me to draw another one. And another, and another. :-)Anyway, my point is that for some of us, art has nothing to do with talent, exploration, or discovery and everything to do with technique - and that can be learned.
