The Bear sits down with her bowl of cereal today, surrounded again by bowls and plates of M&Ms — a kaleidoscope of temptation as the sun rises behind her out the picture frame window. And she says to me, all matter of factly, “when I become a teacher, I’m going to have an art class that only involves making art out of M&Ms.” So I guess our night of a thousand M&Ms candies went well! And you know what else goes well together, besides art and candy? Snacks and video games. And racing with Forza 5 on the Xbox One. Yeah, I still have that bug from those adrenaline soaked days in Vegas.
Having artistic children who also love candy made this particular project super sweet (see what I did there?) I bought several bags of M&Ms and had the girls sort by color. Then we Googled 8-bit pixel art images of race cars, video game characters, & LEGO minifigs and went to town designing our own M&M pixel art sprites, posting them to Instagram, and entering ourselves into the Xbox One Forza 5 contest to show that Gaming Is Better with M. The prize? Oh, just an Xbox One, Forza 5 game and some more M&Ms. Like $600 worth of awesome right before Christmas. What? A boy can still dream of racing, can’t he?
You should totally enter this contest as well, because 1) eating M&Ms is fun, 2) making pixel art with M&Ms is fun, 2) Gaming with M is fun, 4) winning a $600 Xbox One and Forza 5 package is fun, and 5) fun is fun. Here’s what you have to do (hint: it is super duper easy…and fun. Did I mention that?)
