Global Show-n-Tell is a forum for children to share original artwork online. It is arranged by age level, from Egg (ages 0-2) to Eagle (ages 13-17). Go to Parrot for drawings by six- to eight-year-old children. Often a picture is linked to the artist's home page and to a story written by the child. Links to information about rainforest animals and instructions for submitting children's artwork also appear on the site.

Help children navigate the site if necessary.
You may wish to preview the site to select a child's home page for your class to explore.
