Mega Crane Made Out Of 2 Million Origami Cranes
The art of origami has gotten a great deal of space here on Bit Rebels, and that is not because we are insanely into origami. It's just that we think the skills involved and the mathematics necessary to create something as intricate as origami is uber geeky. It's of course also because it is so fric ...
Children’s Artwork Comes Alive: Guaranteed To Bring Smiles
Did you used to draw and color a lot when you were young? I did. Back then, getting the big box of 64 crayons with the crayon sharpener on the back was better than winning the lottery. I spent countless hours in my bedroom coloring on any piece of paper I could find.
If you remember doing that to ...
Illustration: Unicorns On Computer Paper
If you grew up in the '80s like I did, you remember the huge green and white striped computer paper with perforated holes on the side.

Being a child in today's society can't be easy. Left and right there are wars raging, and shocking news is pretty much hitting us like there is no tomorrow.

I was trying to get passed this Easter holiday without writing a post like this. After all, there is no need for me to subject you to my unusual ways. I've already written about how clowns (especially Ronald McDonald) freak me out. However, I couldn't resist.

Most Children Learn Computer Skills Before Life Skills
This is very interesting to me. It hits home because when I saw my sister and her three-year-old son a month ago, I noticed something that seemed a little strange to me. He was constantly playing games on her iPhone. He was walking around the house holding it, and he wouldn't let anyone else have ...

Support Builders Of Tanks, When They Build Them Like This!
I find it rather interesting that even though pretty much 98% of the world's population is against wars, we still continue to have them. The reasons could be many, but the fact remains that the reasons will never weigh more than life itself. As natural resources continue to be diminished, we will ...

Milk Carton Castle: World’s Largest Recycled Sculpture!
Once again, we are going to touch on the subject of being environmentally aware and thinking about what we are doing and how. For example, do you ever think about where all your trash is going once it's down inside that garbage can outside your house? Or, do you even give a second thought to what ...
The Etch-a-Sketch iPad Case: Fun and Functional
When I was a little kid, I loved my bright red Etch-a-Sketch. I used to play with it in the car almost every day. I would look forward to long rides in the car because I knew I would get lost in the magic of my Etch-a-Sketch while sitting in the back seat.
It is amazing what you can draw on an ...
