1 month ago | tulsakids.com | Julie Watson

We live in distracting times. While the boom in technology has brought many positive advances, we now have countless diversions vying for our attention – everything from social media and endless streaming options to texts and calls. One of the most beguiling devices, particularly to teenagers, is the cell phone. With apps designed specifically to capture and keep our attention, the phones are as addictive as they are ubiquitous.

Peyton Brock: CLIMB® Graduate

1 month ago | tulsakids.com | Betty Casey

When I met 6-year-old Peyton Brock at her house, she was scrunched up next to her mom, Kendra. But it didn’t take long for her to tell me about her kindergarten graduation coming up the next day and a birthday trip to the Oklahoma Aquarium. Peyton is a cheerful kid who loves playing with her family, but she also has had to face a difficult reality at a young age – her mom’s breast cancer diagnosis. While Kendra’s surgery was successful, she still faces several months of radiation and chemotherapy.
DOG MAN Read-alikes - TulsaKids Magazine

1 month ago | tulsakids.com | Laura Raphael |Tulsa city-county Library

For several years running now, the Tulsa City-County Library year-end circulation statistics show that the MOST popular book title for children is anything in the hilarious, heartfelt “Dog Man” graphic novel series by Dav Pilkey, which was itself a spinoff of his uber-popular (and just as silly-sweet) “Captain Underpants” series.
Strong Dads Wrap-up

2 months ago | tulsakids.com | Lynn Hernandez

You may remember a blog I did last year about a course given by Oklahoma State University called “Strong Dads”. I interviewed Lacey McCause, Strong Dads Field Coordinator with Tulsa County Cooperative Extension Service. She talked about the goals of the class and how it can benefit dads of any age. There is also a nice compensation for travel costs, a $10 gift card to QuikTrip for each class you attend. And three $25 gift cards to Walmart after completing a survey about the class.

Jocelyn Doeksen is a senior at the Tulsa School of Arts and Sciences. Jocelyn’s art was chosen as this year’s ZooRun tote bag image. She has already seen many successes – and rejections – as a young artist, but views it all as part of her creative process. TK: Tell us about the ZooRun tote bag art competition? How did it feel to win that? Jocelyn: I found out about the zoo tote bag competition on a random weekday.
Color Your World with Magical Books

2 months ago | tulsakids.com | Laura Raphael |Tulsa city-county Library

Back in my weekly storytime days as Youth Librarian, I occasionally struggled to come up with a theme for each session. Sometimes the books I wanted to read easily coalesced around one idea or another (bath time, bears, birthday parties) and, sometimes, my “theme” was just “These are books I’ve discovered recently that I just love, and you might, too!”Here’s my “Books” column equivalent of that non-theme theme.
Farmers Markets Offer a Bounty of Learning Opportunities

2 months ago | tulsakids.com | Cherie Gough

Going to farmers markets on a regular basis puts fresh, seasonal produce at kids’ eye level. They start to notice that foods vary week by week and learn what’s in season. This offers an opportunity to discuss why they won’t see a watermelon in January and helps create family traditions like making peach pie in July. Farmers markets introduce kids to healthy new foods and support local farmers.
