About the Desert Dwellers Flash Cards
Artist, graphic designer and Tucson, Arizona mom Julie Rustad created the Desert Dwellers flashcards to teach her son, Syver, the alphabet and animals that we see in Tucson.
So while her son Syver napped, Julie set to work with paintbrush and acrylics to create paintings of southwest animals and fun facts for kids.
A tarantula carries the description 'Fuzzy Wuzzy', with quick facts about its predators, food, habitat and lifespan. A vulture is described as 'Not A Picky Eater'. A hummingbird is proclaimed a 'Show Off!'
The flash cards, priced at $20 each (with shipping) and packaged in a colorful 4" x 7" box, make a perfect learning tool and a Holiday gift that will appeal to kids and their parents, grandparents or caregivers.
When she's not painting and running her award-winning graphic design firm, 24-7 Creative Solutions, Julie plays drums in two bands, The HypnoGogs and The Nap Skippers. The latter consists of Julie, husband Jon, and Syver, who plays anything he can get his hands on, but has a soft spot for his red ukelele.
The family has written a Desert Dwellers Flash Cards-themed song they perform and are looking forward to rocking out classic and original music at the party.
The Desert Dwellers Flash Cards are available at Mildred & Dildred Toy Store and also available online at Julie Originals.com.
