- All right, we are back
and if you're a parent you know all kids are unique
in how they learn, discover and build confidence.
So if you're looking for new things for them to do
our friends at YouTube Kids have lots of solutions.
My kids are obsessed.
Their app made just for kids
Is filled with family friendly videos to help children learn
or just be entertained.
Joining us now is Rob Jensen
and one of his four kids, ten-year-old Austin,
their family created a massively popular channel
on the YouTube Kids app called Art for Kids Hub.
It's great to meet y'all, nice to meet you.
This all started after the arts program
was cut from your kid's school, right?
- Yeah, we were so bummed when they said
they weren't gonna teach art anymore at school.
And so I thought it would be a lot of fun
to teach them when they came home from school.
And then we thought it would be so much fun to share this.
And so we started recording it and putting it on YouTube.
And now you can watch all of our lessons.
- Yeah, that really worked out.
(Kelly and Rob chuckle)
Everybody watches them.
Well, we also have eight-year-old Alison joining us.
I mean, his dad is a talent booker up here on the show
and Ellison is a huge fan of Art for Kids Hub,
like my kids as well.
So, so what are like your favorite things to draw?
- My favorite is the snowman.
- [Kelly] Oh!
- The folding surprise snowman.
- [Kelly] Okay.
- And it's technically very easy to draw.
- Okay. Okay.
I like that. Honesty.
So what are we going to do today, Rob?
- We are gonna do a folding surprise.
- Okay.
- These are some of the folding surprises.
So when they're folded up, they look like something.
And then when you open it up, it's something different.
- Okay. Let's get started.
How do we do it?
- All right. We're gonna draw a folding surprise.
We're gonna do a holiday one.
- [Kelly] Okay.
- And we're gonna do this one.
We're actually, when it's folded up it's a present
and then when it's open,
it's a puppy inside. - (gasps) Oh gosh!
Don't tell my kids, they keep asking for another dog
and I'm like, "No."
So wait, you can have this dog. (laughs)
- Yeah, you can get this one instead.
- All right, that's cute.
- So I, in the sake of time- - [Kelly] Okay.
- I've actually already drawn part of it.
I've already drawn the present.
- [Kelly] I appreciate that.
- Yeah! So we're gonna skip ahead
and go ahead and open up the paper-
- Okay. - and you can flatten it out
so it's a little easier to draw on.
- Okay.
- All of our drawings are gonna look different
and that's okay.
- Mine definitely will. Yes, yes.
- (laughs) Okay.
Let's first start by drawing the nose for our puppy.
And we're just gonna start by drawing the letter V
right above this fold.
- [Kelly] The letter V? - Yeah.
So we're gonna draw a letter V.
- [Kelly] Okay, I'm gonna do it.
- Just right in the center. - [Kelly] Okay, I can do that.
- And then we're going to draw the top of the nose
and it should look like an upside down triangle.
We're gonna draw the mouth next.
And we're gonna draw the letter J or letter U.
- Oh, coming out from the nose, okay.
- Yeah, coming out from the bottom of the nose.
- I got ya'.
- And then let's draw the eyes next.
- Okay. - [Rob] You got it, Kelly?
- Look, I'm killing it.
- Oh, she's doing it. I love that it looks different.
- Yeah.
- [Rob] It looks awesome.
- Wait. (both laughing)
- [Rob] Look it, that looks awesome!
- Okay, see?
Aw, so cute. Okay.
(audience laughing)
- All right. Now let's draw the face
or the shape of the head. - [Kelly] Okay.
- And we'll start over here on the left side.
And we're gonna draw a big letter U
that goes all the way under the tongue.
- [Kelly] Oh, big letter U.
- A big letter U and comes up on the other side.
- Okay.
- Now we're gonna draw the ears, little floppy ears,
and we can start on the outside
and draw a little curve that comes in
and we can draw a little curve on the other side too.
- [Kelly] Okay.
- Then we can draw the top of our puppy's head
and then let's draw the puppy paws on top of the present
so we can draw an upside down U for one paw
and then another upside down U for the other paw.
- Tiny.
- Yeah, just like that, we did it!
- Okay. What do we do now?
- Now we can connect the puppy.
It looks like the head's just floating
so we can connect the puppy to the paws.
- It's a space puppy right now. It's flying.
- Yeah, It's floating head puppy.
So we could draw two little diagonal lines.
- It's a tiny puppy. - Okay. I like it.
- What's our puppy missing?
- Uh...
- A name? - A name.
- Name. - Or a tail.
- Oh yeah. - Yeah, it's missing a tail.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, they have tails too, totally.
- Totally missing. - Totally, Ellison.
Yeah, keep up Ellison. (everybody chuckles)
Just kidding.
- We can draw a little curve coming out to the side.
- Okay. Okay.
- And then to make it look thicker,
we could draw a little curve coming back down.
- Okay.
I think I'm nailing art class. - And that's it. Yeah!
Then when it's folded up it's a little present like this.
- [Kelly] I love this.
- And when you open it, the puppy's inside.
- I'm totally gonna color this all
and get this to my kids, they're gonna freak out.
Well, actually they're gonna mad that I only have one.
They're gonna be like, "Where's mine? One of my own."
That's so cute!
- [Rob] You did it, you have to take it home and color it.
(audience cheering) - Yeah. I love it.
Thank you so much, Rob and Austin.
This was so fun. - Thank you for having us.
- It's so cute and it's a really cool thing for parents
to do with their kids as well.
