Jim Davis, creator of the Garfield
comics, say that this site's meant to "tickle the brain and the funny
bone" while taking kids' brains to the "extreme". Actually, it's
our old friend Garfield
as Professor Garfield encouraging kids to get moving in reading, science,
mathematics, social studies, music and art. The site features a Comics Lab, art
lessons, a Music-Bot, Brain Busters, a brain sparker, and even a Sleep Center. An Art-Bot helps kids understand that they
can tell stories through cartooning, and the ScholarShop helps them with
learning about their options for the future. You'll also find 15 Garfield
Foundation art lessons available free as Podcasts from the iTunes store. The
Podcasts and site are sponsored by the Professor Garfield Foundation and the
Virginia Department of Education.
