“Squiggles” Coloring Book 04/26/20

Our West Coast superstar animator, cartoonist, and illustrator volunteers have just created a new coloring book for the Ink Well kids! These books will get sent out to children dealing with illness and hardship in hospitals and foster care centers across the country. It’s vitally important that we maintain close connections with these kids, providing encouraging, stimulating activities to fight isolation and to keep growing in health and hope. Thank you, volunteers, for making this possible!

“Toon-ify” Coloring Book 04/07/20

In this “toon-ify” coloring book, our artists depict a realistic object, animal, or person then show how to transform it into a cartoon.

This is just one of many remote activities we’re doing to keep our collaboration with children in health and foster care support going strong during these particularly isolating times. 💪
