Kid Pix is a free web app that helps children develop fine motor skills, learn about using menus, and create digital art.
Get started:
Click the eraser tool on the left. From the top menu, select your favorite eraser effect.
Click in the middle of the screen to use your eraser.
Try all the tools- my favorite is the STAMP tool. The arrows on the top menu cycle through many stamp collections. Try holding down the Shift key when you stamp!
What Do Pre-K Learners Do in the Library?
In Pre-K, the library is a place of exploration and discovery! Students listen to fun stories, look at colorful picture books, and talk about the characters and what happens in the stories. They start to make connections between the stories they hear and their own experiences.
Pre-K learners also begin to explore early digital literacy by interacting with simple technology, like listening to stories, creating digital art, and exploring educational games. They start learning how to use these tools in a safe and responsible way.
In the Makerspace, they get to be little creators! Whether it's building with blocks, experimenting with art supplies, or exploring simple puzzles, they learn by doing and using their imaginations to create new things.
The library helps Pre-K students develop a love for books, start learning about technology, and get excited about creating and exploring!
