7 Photo Editing Apps to Try!

Here are some free apps to make your images picture perfect, with features such as filters, layout, effects, typography, etc. Enjoy

1. Typorama
Typorama is an easy to use app that allows you to add chic, modern typography to your images. First step for making your creation is to choose an image by searching sample images or using your own. You can then crop the image for the ideal fit for whatever social media platform or otherwise you may be working on. And last, you get to add your typography. This app gives you plenty of free, beautiful designs to choose from. And as you may have guessed, you can fork up a couple dollars to remove the watermark and add additional features.

2. LiveCollage
There are a variety of free apps you can use to make collages, but this one has become a tried and true for me. Again this app is easy to use and includes a huge variety of design choices, no matter how many images you choose to collage with. Simply choose your layout and add your images to each box. The images can also be cropped and edited further, and you can add stickers and borders to the collage if you wish.

3. PIP Camera
Definitely a cool concept, this app allows you to create a magnified image within an image, with a variety of designs to choose from.

4. Canva
Like Typorama, Canva allows you to edit an image and then add beautiful typography to your image. This app has a wide array of type choices, as well as designs for your images that make gorgeous thumbnails. This app also has a huge array of design choices for any social network (or other project) you may be working on, including an Instagram image, poster, facebook cover, YouTube Channel Art (which if you've tried to design channel art that fits and looks right, you know it can be a challenge!), invitations, and more.
5. Prisma
If you are looking for an app to give your images a more artsy, creative twist, you will love playing around with Prisma. Prisma allows you to turn your photos into illustrations, mosaics, and more in style.

6. Darkroom
Darkroom allows you to crop images accurately and add beautiful filters to your work with ease. You can even create your own filters. The only complaint is the number of features you get without purchasing the full version are not a lot, but for simple editing jobs this is a great app to have.
7. Snapseed
Need something a little more in depth than Darkroom, but still fairly easy to use? I recommend this app for its simplicity and range of features for adjusting color, shadows, crop, perspective, text, blur, frames, filters, and more.
Thank you for reading; were there any of your favorite photo editing apps that I missed? Let me know in the comments below

Pre-k Stranger Danger Circle and Activity

Your preschoolers may know how many legs an ant has, how to use a pipette, and how to count to ten, but do they know how to stay safe around strangers? It is such an important lesson, yet not all children are exposed to it. It is also a difficult subject for us adults to talk about, but there are ways to introduce "stranger danger" skills without scaring young children. To get you started, below are a couple ideas for a stranger danger unit. Intro to Stranger Danger Circle Transition in- For our transition in, we started with a finger play to get children settled. Before our story, I introduced the question "What is a Stranger?". As I had anticipated, children guessed that a stranger was a bad guy; they described strangers as being burglars, people who take kids, and bad guys. Body- For the bulk of this circle, I chose to read a book from my childhood, which is "The Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers". This story is about young sister bear lea

How to Collage with Inkscape

Greetings! Today I wanted to share a method I use for creating artwork...one that is quick, easy, and somewhat addicting. Creating collage using a digital program may seem daunting, but it's actually a really easy way to make art, especially if you're not as gifted in the whole technical aspect. For today I am using Inkscape, which at this time is a free program that can be downloaded (you can get it from their official website: https://inkscape.org/en/download/). Keep in mind the techniques I'm using today are somewhat advanced and although I will try to walk through it as simply as possible, you may also consider experimenting and becoming more familiar with Inkscape if you are a first time user before attempting this tutorial. The first step for any type of collage-making is to collect materials for collage. Doing this digitally is easy, since there are so many great images on the internet. Google images is great for getting images if you know what specifically you&

Thoughts on Week of the Young Child 2017

Next week starting April 24th is Week of the Young Child 2017 (WOTYC), which celebrates young children, parents, and educators. In preparation for this time, I have been thinking about how I want to share this event with you. The most obvious idea seemed to be sharing activity ideas based on the curriculum themes for each day. As I sat down to write up activity plans, I kept thinking there was something bigger I wanted to say. Taking things back a step, I focused on the event itself. Why do we have Week of the Young Child, when the suggested themes and ideas should be celebrated all year long? The most important reason is awareness...children are important! With a special time of year for everything, from puppies to ice cream sundaes, it can be difficult to take these celebrations seriously. But some are more important than others. No matter how little experience you have with kids, we all have important reasons to care, to educate ourselves, and to be better. During our first
