A real (screen-free) newspaper about creativity for KIDS!
The Pencil Pusher is a one-page REAL newspaper geared toward elementary age kids about living a creative life through writing, art, and books! The newspaper features different topics and activities each issue: Practical tips from artists and authors, how-to-draws, comic writing prompts, and so much more!
Parents and educators can sign their kids up!
It’s completely FREE (USA only).
This REAL (hold-it-in-your-hands) newspaper is being used in homes and schools all over the country to foster conversations about how creative problem solving is sometimes messy, rarely a straight line, and should be enjoyed throughout the process.
“Progress not perfection” is a motto that has served me well as an artist to keep making art and stories without being paralyzed by fear of failure. I believe we need to continue that conversation with kids and THAT’s my inspiration for The Pencil Pusher :)
A new issue will drop 3 times per year. September and February issues go out to everyone on the list and a special Summer issue goes out to individuals and families at home (with surprise stickers!)
I currently send out about 6,000 Pencil Pushers per issue, and I’d love to send them to you too!
