Aimee has launched the very first Kid Art Auction for Earth Day 2008.

How does it work? Your kid makes art. You post it to the Kid Art Auction Flickr pool. And you tell all you know about it so that they can go and bid on the lovely pieces our kids have made. When bidding closes, the parent ships the art to the highest bidder. Simple and fun, yes? All proceeds go to We Can Solve It, a project from the Alliance for Climate Protection.  

Family overseas, sorry, but the bidding is only open to those in North America. But friends with kids under 17 in Canada and the US? Get those kiddie fingers busy.

Here is Tau’s first effort with scissors, markers and glue. Isn’t Happypillar sweet?

Another reason I love Dooce. She knows the power of a good bribe. See the Elephant Clips post below the lovely photo.

I took Tau to the park to ride the train yesterday and took a few snaps along the way.

Thought I’d post them for the family who haven’t had the chance to visit. They are in our La Casa set on Flickr.

Enjoy!
