Hi John,

I recently gathered a simple assortment of materials: shaving cream, paint, white glue, paper, and paper cups.

My older child was intrigued and asked to join in.

Of course! (Secret mission achieved). So we mixed up a batch of puffy paint with these humble supplies and found ourselves joyfully finger painting for a good hour.

My little one came home a little later, saw our creations, wanted in, so we made fresh batches of paint in totally new colors. Another hour of focus passed with new ideas emerging.

It was so fun and relaxing, and I was energized by their questions and focus.

Let me just add that I now have big kids, but we've been doing projects like this since they were in preschool and they always deliver.

Are you done wondering if your child will actually enjoy the project you spent so much time setting up?

Wouldn’t it be fun to dive into things like…

⭐️ puffy paint painting

⭐️ a raft building challenge

⭐️ feather quill drawing

⭐️ popsicle felt stuffies

⭐️ leaf and flower pounding

⭐️ dancing raisins, and...

⭐️ magic marble rollers?

When we offer kids projects that spark their imaginations, they’re invested, excited, and stick with their curiosities for more than 2 minutes. True story!

If you’re done with coloring books or the endless internet activity hunt, we’ve got you with a world of open-ended, playful creative sparks that capture imaginations.

Starting at $12/month, you’ll find:

⭐️ 20 creativity activities to try each month

⭐️ over 290 projects in a growing activity library (for all-access members, starting at just $15/month)

⭐️ activity sheets with material lists, process steps, tips, and extension ideas

⭐️ access to TinkerLab 101, which includes a complete guide on Process Art, where you’ll learn how to facilitate, encourage, and embrace process art with children.

⭐️ a community to cheer you on (BONUS!)

If you feel overwhelmed by art, are short on time, or want to connect with your child through making and feel like a creative superstar, this membership is for you.

We’re open for new members through Friday, July 1.

Warmly,

Rachelle

Founder, TinkerLab
