It's Children's Day in China and Hungary, and childreneverywhere have something new to play, create and share with! Thanks to YUVA Studio(www.yuvastudio.com), a Toronto based studio with a mandate to develop products thatnurture creativity in young children.

YUVA Studio's Product Design team announced today that YUVA, their premier productis ready and available for purchase. YUVA, the root of all words meaning "young", isan online environment, a creative playground for children aged 4 -10 years.

Shapes are at the core of YUVA. Co-founder Jayashri Deshmukh, refers to them as "thebasic alphabet of a person's visual language". YUVA fosters PLAY with a palette ofshapes. The rich environment challenges the imagination of young artists as theymerge, rotate, enlarge or flip them to create a variety of drawings. "It's likeplaying with 2-D blocks. In the process of play and experimentation, a child makes amultitude of connections that unfold the principles of pattern, design andcomposition."

CREATE follows PLAY - it is a more deliberate act, one driven by intention. UsingYUVA, children will be able use their original drawings to create e-cards, posters,greeting cards and even custom T-shirts.

A natural step to follow CREATE is SHARE Â the act of confidently showing one'screations to others through e-cards, printouts, galleries and the YUVA StudioMerchandise store. YUVA not only makes sharing easy for children but also encouragesthem to solicit a response. E-card recipients can send messages to the artist. Theygo directly into the child's "Sketchbook" Â much like signing an Artist's guestbook.The YUVA Studio Gallery is a public-facing online venue for these young artists tosubmit their drawings to. Soon, the Gallery will invite professional artists anddesigners to curate art shows and competitions.

Although YUVA's primary audience is children who have basic computer skills, theco-founder of YUVA Studio, Parth Upadhye says, "YUVA is actually for everyone, forall ages. There's a child in each of us that delights in creative play. In ourproduct tests we found that while the children were drawing trucks and birds withYUVA, their parents were designing rugs and wallpaper! The possibilities truly areendless!"

At YUVA Studio, we can all be YUVA Artists.
