Highlights for Children reposted this
This week, our Highlights for Children / Tinkergarten team used our own curriculum, took our own advice and PLAYED. There really is no better way to build connection, trust and that fun, flexible approach to problem solving that helps you build great things and make a giant impact together. How did we play? * We made party hats for the Earth's Happy Birthday (perfect for the Spring Equinox). https://lnkd.in/eEPpa2Xm * We engaged in "Not A" play, wondering all of the things a "Not a Tarp" "Not a Box" and "Not a Pillowcase" could be. https://lnkd.in/eZ7iCNyT How are you playing with your teammates?

Thanks Daniel Sulzberg for sharing this amazing behind-the-scenes look at the cover illustration for April/May brainPLAY magazine.
Freelance Creative Illustrator at Danvillage Studios. Represented worldwide by IllustrationX Former cartoonist for Red Bull and award winning illustrator for the likes of NY Times, Nike, Google, Topps, and Sesame Street.
I had the absolute pleasure of illustrating for my favorite childhood magazine Highlights for Children to create their cover for the March/April issue of Brainplay. It's a bright and whimsical bug filled cover where you have to find the match of each bug... except one bug doesn't have a match. Can you find it? Check out my process video to see how it all came together! Big thank you to the amazing art direction of Patrick Greenish Jr. and to my illustration agency IllustrationX Karen Bucciero Kaller #highlights #kidlitart #illustration #freelanceillustrator
