Logo Learning
Good clean environmental fun!
ADDED April 22, 2010
Today we're taking a little different bent on the whole Earth Day thing. We're celebrating by learning about logos.
Yes, a lot of people criticize corporations today. But not all corporations are bad -- we can agree on that, can't we? And many corporations have cool, artistic logos!
If your kids don't know what logos are, you can explain the concept like this: logos are symbols that represent companies, schools, sports teams, and the like. The symbols are usually special pictures or a special way of writing the necessary letters. (Or both special picture and way of writing letters.)
Logos are truly all around us. First off, talk to your kids and see if they can identify some logos. Can your kids think up some logos they may have seen? Do they know the logo for your local market?
Next, think of some logos you've seen to share with your kids. Fire up the internet and see if you guys can find these logos on Google and Google images. If your kids like any sports teams, you can definitely find those logos online.
Of course, we want your kids to get out some paper and crayons and get busy whipping up some logos of their own. Some ideas:

- Does your kids' school have a logo? If not, your child can create one!
- When I was a kid, my mom proudly promoted her cooking as "Mom's Kitchen: Good Food For Good Kids!" Well, maybe your kids can make a logo for your house's food service!
- How about a logo for your kid's favorite stuffed animal?
- Today is Earth Day. Maybe your young ones can create a logo reminding people to throw trash in a garbage can.
Naturally, your family could spend some time admiring our website's logo. (It includes the boy and girl, of course.)
Don't like this logo idea today? Fine, we understand. Well, then have the kids make a paper bag puppet, a paper bag mask, or a paper bag hat. Regardless, we just hope you have some good, clean environmental fun with your kids today!
