YES! I make things with my hubby’s photos, make them 3D adding elements of nature. At times I hear negative thoughts (in my head). I stop, read something or listen to music to snap out of that space…. And now I will be using the “Space Bear” song! It makes me smile! Thank you! Here’s to being creative! Again, thank you for all you do….and your daughter! Space Bear, Space Bear, Space Bear!!!!

Just love Space Bear. I have a technical question for you. My 6-year-old grandson wants to make up a story when he comes here for Easter and we were going to draw it first and then maybe try to figure out how to make a video about it. Is there a software you use for your videos that you might recommend? Just curious. We'll write the story either way as he's a wonderful storyteller.

Thank you so much! This was a blast to make. Love to hear what you’re up to! That will be fun and a meaningful way to spend time together for sure. I use my iPad and Procreate to do the simple animation. It doesn’t always handle the heavily colored images in animation well, so for some of this I had to export as images and play in Photoshop and Premiere.

My kids love using the app FlipaClip to make simple movies. It’s actually really cool what you can do there. It even allows you to pull in video you’ve made and draw on top of it. They like that. We’ve also played around on a few different stop motion apps for iPad and phone that let us make some neat things. My advice is: have fun, make a mess, and enjoy the people youre making the things with 😁

Thank you so much. This is so helpful and fun to think of the possibilities. We're quite good at having fun and making messes. I'm really looking forward to spending time with my grandchildren this week and I hope you have a great week as well.

"Space Bear, Space Bear, Space Bear!" - Gonna be the song going around the jukebox in my head this weekend. 😎

Note to self - It's roughly Dm, C, Dm. The last Dm sounds best inverted up.

May I be on Team Space Bear? I think he may have heard of the planet made of honey but he doesn't know it's name. He's on a quest but saves the universe while he's searching. Could be just a rumor, though.
