Graffiti Walls - Let's be honest. Graffiti is ugly: it makes buildings and signs look hideous. On the other hand, it is kind of fun to be able to leave a mark somewhere. The problem is that graffiti makes whatever is marked look awful. Now, through the wonder of the Internet, you can leave your mark and never worry about defacing property. It's at this site, and there is one for kids aged 11 and younger and one for kids aged 12 and up. Spray paint, scratch, do what you like. It's designed for fun with no unsightly mess to clean up! The walls are closely monitored for appropriate content to keep the site enjoyable for all. You have to register, but it is free.
Kendra's Coloring Book - Coloring used to be so hard. There's that "stay within the lines" thing. Plus, it can be tough to find the right color crayon or marker. When you do find it, it's always broken or out of ink. If you make a mistake, you might as well start over. Your worries are over at this site. All you have to do is pick a picture, select a color, and click where you want the color to go. No more wondering where you left the "peach."

The Best Coloring Books and Coloring Pages Online - Art for Kids - There are two different ways you can color using the Internet. The first is to try an online coloring book. An outline picture appears on the screen, and you use your mouse to select colors and "paint" them in wherever you want. Some of these programs also let you pick the size of your "crayon" so that you can get a finer level of control. Sometimes you can download your completed picture and save it to print out later. More often, though, this isn't possible. If you always want to be able to save your picture, keep reading. The second type of coloring book is a series of traditional coloring pages. Just select the one you want to color, and download it. This saves it to your home computer. You print it out and color it with actual, not virtual, crayons. This Web resource (and the links from it) is a selection of the best and most fun coloring books on the Net.
