CREATIVE WAYS TECHY KIDS CAN EXPRESS THEMSELVES
Sick of the amount of time your kids are spending on video games this summer? When boredom strikes, give your digitally charmed youngster a summertime project that enhances their technical skills while also fostering creativity.
Write a digital storybook.
Introduce your young storyteller to storybird.com that features illustrations that kids can use for story inspiration. Subscription-based monthly writing challenges can help boost a child's literacy skills. Young authors can choose to keep their work private, publish it to Storybird's public library, share it on social media, email it to friends and family, or print off the books for special keepsakes or gifts. Other sites include inkspire.org, which encourages youth ages 14 and older to share their stories, thoughts and ideas with others, and bookcreator.com.

A Cool Girl's Bedroom
WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
