Material of the Week 2/8-2/14

Plastic Counting Blocks!
These should be lots of fun to work with. Things that are square are super versatile when it comes to exploring creativity.

On the road…

Had a blast at Super Saturday at Oak Park High School today. We got crafty, valentiney and as always, green making stuff from stuff during this fine sustainable event on anĀ  impressive eco campus. It is so nice to be surrounded by innovative thinkers and mindful community memebrs.

Win/Win fun!

Dulce (10) is going for “Most Creative” in her class with her Lioness valentine box. I think she’s got a good chance!
Projects like this where there is a seasonal connection to a project shared in the classroom keeps the spirit of fun in the air for all to enjoy. That’s a Win/Win for sure!

Exploring Machine Sewing

Working on her wild side during our Exploring Sewing class today. The kids were quick learners. Hopefully we’re planting a seed to grow lifelong sewers.

We had fun making wintery houses, counting up to 100, relishing the word bounty, making a soft owl, building a marble maze and meeting Cork Man this week @createstudio on instagram.

Material of the Week 2/1-2/7

Fuzzy Foam Pieces!
A little wild and wacky, these puzzly pieces are fun to fit together, stack, or rework in a million different ways. Let the fun begin!

Weekly WOW 1/25-1/31

WOW! This week I was taken by Justin’s creative process in making a marble maze with high points, low points and a trampoline made from rubber bands. He created from inspiration as he went. Sometimes he would nail something in, find it wasn’t right then take it out. He didnt waiver from his desire to make a fun ride for a marble! Failure wasn’t even a thing.

Hashtag Highlight #87

We enjoyed a moonlit night, a hot cup of coffee, a love note, a platypus and a few good houses @createstudio on instagram.

Weekly WOW!

We love this week’s WOW featuring Emma’s special note. It was her big idea to put scrips and scups together to note the words that come from a deep place of love in the heart. Somebody is going to be very lucky to receive this special token.
