National Doodle Day

The kids have some art for sale!

National Doodle Day is an annual project in which celebrity doodles are auctioned off in an effort to raise money for a charity.  Past doodlers include people like Jay Leno, Tony Bennett, and Barack Obama.  Proceeds from this year's sales will go to help people suffering from Neurofibromatosis, a disease in which tumors attack the nervous system.

Someone from the National Doodle Day committee saw an article about the Z-Kids in the newspaper, decided that they qualified as celebrities, and sent them an invitation to participate!  So their doodles are for sale alongside folks like Kathryn Bigelow, Jeff Bridges, Eric Carle, Carrot Top, Annette Funicello, Neil Gaiman, Julianne Moore, Peter H. Reynolds, Martin Sheen, and Mo Willems.

Here are the Z-Kids' doodles:
