- ArtForKidsHub – This is our number #1 all-time favorite art website for kids. This site has hundreds of how-to art videos, mostly drawing videos, but some painting, sculpture and even origami. It’s super engaging for kids, Mr. Hub and his family do the drawings themselves on camera so you get to see his version and the child’s version. And they draw everything from everyday objects to your kids’ favorite video game or movie characters. O has spent has spent hours on this site. The paid membership is optional and not really necessary.
- Drawing Now – O actually heard about this art website for kids from a friend. It’s also got tons of drawing videos for kids but, I think it solves one of the problems that some other art websites for kids have…it allows you watch the drawing video step by step! You click a button to see each little segment of the drawing get drawn so you can really go at your own speed.

Older kids can probably handle many of her regular painting tutorials as well!

So, this morning a Due West Parent asked, "Is there a safe site to go to for drawing things besides YouTube?" This prompted some research on my part. I thought, if this parent asked then others might have the same question. Below are a list I found on this site, https://littleredwindow.com/fun-free-and-safe-online-art-lessons-for-kids/. Some of these relate directly to drawing and others art/crafts and still others STEAM activities as well as activities for all kinds of subjects. As you can see, there were very detailed descriptions for each site so you can pick and choose what interests you most. Happy Creating! And don't forget to share with Mrs. Waters -- you can upload to Artsonia.com, post to social media on Instagram @duewestart, twitter @duewestartrocks, or Facebook Due West Art. You can also simply send in an email using the link at the top fo this page! Can't wait to see what you do!
