Mixel

Picture a room full of kids with shitty attention spans. They’ve done their class work, had lunch, and took a nap. What do you have them do now? I know!

“Everybody, sit at the table. Here’s some paper, crayons, scissors, glue and a few sheets from old magazines. Draw a picture, make a collage, have fun…” Which means “I have nothing better for you to do, so keep yourself busy.”

And so the kids do, entertain themselves. They grow socially and express themselves creatively. A positive side effect, often unintentional. In the long run, it’s great and a very important moment for children to learn and experiment with art and being social.

So now there’s Mixel. If your an adult or just have access to an iPad and have nothing better to do with your time, sit at the table. Grab some scissors, glue, crayons, paper and a some scraps from a magazine. Play nice, kill time.
