This is a colorful & educational mural about the Philippines!
The traditional costume is very beautiful.
The happiness is beautiful.
Click on the pic below and see the entire mural.
This mural even has a map,
..and a doll, which could possibly be King Philip of Spain. If anyone knows for sure, I would love to be educated!

Kids’ Month 2017
An ice-cream dream to you, Frank! What a wonderful post for Kids’ Month. It’s synchronicity. I decide to have a Kids’ Month, and you find an Ice Cream Dream mural. Thank you times the stars!
Every kid dreams of a party like this …
. .. with ice cream
… and cake
… and cookies
… friends and happiness
… and our imaginary friends too
All for this young lady
… It’s a good day for her.
Ice Cream Daydream is a vibrant mural created by ArtWorks at 33 East 12th Street in Cincinnati’s Over the Rhine district. This mural is full of imagination, fun and joy.
ArtWorks is a unique non-profit organization that employs and trains local youth to create art in the community. To date, ArtWorks is responsible for over 100 murals throughout Cincinnati – which many are in the main part of the city.
This post is for Resa, Toronto’s lady of style who also captures street art in Toronto and Winnipeg as a hobby. Resa recently declared March as Kid’s Month on her blog – so this is the first of my two posts for…

She sends “Best wishes for the kids month initiative.” She said I was special, but I have to change that to – we, everyone here during Kids’ Month are special.

Last year, at this time, I hosted Kids’ Month.
When Sherrie & I found this mural at a Community Center in Winnipeg, I knew there would be a second Kids’ Month.
What I love about this mural is that kids helped to paint it.
Take a sec to blow up the pic below, & really see the complete mural.
This year Kids’ Month will be more inclusive than just street art.
There will be poetry in combo with street art & original artwork by fellow bloggers. I’ve got some educational posts planned, in conjunction with street art.
I’ll be reblogging some reviews of Kids’ books & a special reblog about Puffins.
Today I bought a picture book for Michele Eastman’s “Picture Book Pass It On” drive.
I’ll be sending it through ground mail. It will be a small investment, that I believe will do a big good.
This is going to be one fun month!

All Charities are not Created Equal! It’s easy enough to research & find the good guys. Here are a few I respect, after doing some research.
Canadian Big Brothers and Sisters scored 4 stars or an “A” rating from various groups.
President Obama & First Lady Michelle Obama launched Let Girls Learn.
A society free from sexual and other forms of exploitation against children and women. Anuradha Koirala, founder of Maiti Nepal was a CNN Hero in 2011. A visit to the site is only for the strong of heart.
Helps more than children, but they help a lot of children They have 4 star ratings, and one website gave World Vision Canada a “B”
What? Bleu is French. Koala is English.
Yes, and Canada has 2 official languages, French & English.
What’s your point?
My point is that during “Kids’ Month” we should educate!
Yowzer! Did you know even grumpy Koalas love “Kids’ Month”! Okay, as a grumpy Koala, I want to say, stay tuned for “Kids’ Month”!

In a lane off Wellesely is this very pretty, but wildly eroded mural.
I’ve never seen paint peeling like this before. It was literally hanging like curled and colorful Post-it notes across a 40 ft. wall.
Had I found this when it was fresh, it would have been a 3-part post. This is all that was left to take pics of. I considered taking a shot of the peeling paint, but alas, I couldn’t bare to be reminded of what I’d missed out on.
