Coolest Star Wars Art Ever!
My son and I watched this and had the kind of reaction you get when watching an amazing fireworks display. Please watch the entire video as architect and artist Red Hong Yi has seven amazing Star Wars shadow art displays. She shines a beam of light from a specific position onto different shapes arranged on wires to get these effects!
Pair this with Tom Angleberger’s Origami Yoda series.
This Octopus Can Walk on Land
How come this octopus can walk on land? This is no ordinary octopus!
Want to learn about octopi? Here are some books:
Metamorphosis of a Monarch Butterfly in High Definition
Pair this with The Very Hungry Caterpillar or with anyone hatching Painted Lady butterflies this spring.
Industrial Design for Kids
Grasshopper and Sensei is interested in industrial design, so this video pick is for her.
