STORYKINS :: Elephant Dance

Elephant Dance

Elephant clouds
stomp and tromp
across blue skies.

Dirt paths shake
grounds quake
under giant gray toes.

In a line they walk
drumming, humming
soft talk.

Music makers
swishing
swaying

As they sail away.
…..
Now that spring is finally in the air we can feel a bit more inspired to write! Today my children and I walked to the park, with our notebooks and pencils in hand. We drew the scenery around us and talked about how to describe what we saw. I would love to share what we came up with next week, but I would really love to hear from you!

Grab your little one, take a hike, find a park, sit in a field. What do you see. Can you write a poem and draw a picture to go with your writing? Be as creative as you want!

Submissions can be sent to yellowfinchdesigns@yahoo.com for a chance to be featured here on Babiekins Magazine Blog.

Happy Writing!

    Hi Gina, I was reading your article about the brazilian market “Silva”. I’m from Brazil, I have 3 children and I loved to see your daughter holding the “erva mate” green package. Here in south of Brazil we use the “erva mate” to drink “chimarrão”. Following is the link that shows the type of cup that we use to drink such tea http://rosaeblue.com.br/cuia-de-chimarrao-de-couro/
    I’m also the author of a blog called Rosa & Blue. It was a pleasure talking to you!
    Fabi!

Copyright © 2026 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
