KinderArt has been a presence on the web since 1996, when the organizers placed their first few free art lessons online. Since then the site's collection of helpful art lessons designed to assist K-12 educators (and their students) has grown to include over 800 different lessons. KinderArt was founded by Andrea Mulder-Slater and Jantje Blokhuis-Mulder, both of whom are practicing visual artists and educators. Visitors can view a complete list of the art lessons, or for ease of use they may also look at the topical areas covered on the site, such as drama, drawing, folk art, painting, and numerous others. The Art Speak area contains profiles of young and upcoming artists, along with helpful articles on such subjects as creating a well-stocked art cupboard and how to approach a work of art. Another final treat on the site is the virtual "fridge", where children from around the world can display their recent artistic endeavors.
