heeeeeey - i was wondering if any parents of 10-12(ish) year old kids could ask them to maybe help me out a bit with my next project for one of my viscom degree classes, if you've got the time to spare!

Long story short: I'm trying to get an idea of what kids of around that age want to see in comics and cartoons involving main characters who identify as girls. Mostly i'm interested in the opinions of girls of around that age, but boys are welcome to contribute, too. See the above thread for more details.

Thanks!

That is all. Carry on.

My oldest and I playing Epistory Typing Chronicles or "The Foxy Game" as she calls it. Certainly fun to lap game with the kids even if it is super uncomfortable!

My daughter of 4.5 is super into Legos suddenly and we just built her Cinderella Castle per the "constructions" I tried to stay hands off and soft guide her only. She did a great job. My sister bought it for her like 2 years ago so nice to finally see it played with.

My 4-year old daughter just called icecicles “ice carrots.” Not only do I love when she so clearly lays out how she sees the world, but I think I like that name better.

No calories either. That is super cute.

I knocked some ice carrots off my carport this morning. They were super crunchy.

My son's first trip to Disney, he had a good time.

He loved Doc! All he wanted to do was hug her. And when we met Anna and Else, all he could do while we waited was say "Anna, Anna, Anna..."

He is such a cute little boy. Looks like he had an amazing time!

Player 3 has entered the game! Our little girl was born tonight at 1851. Everyone is healthy and sleeping.

Gratz, Mix!

What a cuteypie. Great haircut!

Super cute kid. Super cute haircut.
Super big heart! That donation goes a long way

Our two-year-old was dishing out some 'tea' in her tea set to her mother and I just before bedtime. I made the mistake of teaching her to toast while saying "Kampai!". On the plus side, it's adorable when she tries to say it and it sounds like "Popeye!" On the minus side, there may be trouble lunch time tomorrow at pre-school when the cups of milk come out.

Hahaha. Awesome.

Our kids do this thing where they say, "Cheers!" and clink milk cups.

They also say, "Drinkity-drink drink!" which is old code from mom and dad in our childless days for adult beverages...that we coopted into anything going into a cup...and now our 3yo says it with abandon.
