Before investing in TinkerLab Schoolhouse, you may have a few questions.
You’re not alone, and other families had questions too.
Given that the August 16 deadline to join TinkerLab Schoolhouse is coming soon, I'll get right to it.
Here are the most popular questions we’ve had...
“How much time will this take?”
We're parents and completely understand how important your time is. Each week you'll get five prompts designed to save you time, not create extra work for you. Yes, you'll have to set up prompts, but they're primarily simple and won't require a lot of teaching on your part.
You might also wonder if the weekly prompts will engage your child for more than two minutes. One of our goals is to help children play and create independently by giving them room to explore and tinker...oftentimes on their own, and often for long periods of time.
This mom, and Schoolhouse member, was so happy to see her kids engaged for close to 2 hours!

“What age is this for?”
Schoolhouse is designed for children 3-8, and the activities, which are open-ended, appeal to this wide age range because they allow children to bring their unique curiosities and skills to the table. Early childhood is an important developmental time for creative and imaginative play, and we want to give our youngest learners every opportunity to explore and invent while exercising curiosity, agency, and imagination.
Some families want to know if Schoolhouse will work if they have a mix of older and younger children, and the answer is a resounding "yes" with the added benefit that you only have to set up one project rather than different prompts for each child.
For example, Jennifer has children age 5 and 7, and says:

“Can't I find art and science projects on Pinterest for free?”
Of course you can, and we encourage you to continue doing that if it's working for you.
However, if you're tired of collecting random ideas online and want your time back, we'll simplify the curation process for you and get you what you need when you need it. Not only that, in Schoolhouse you'll experience much more than a collection of activities. You'll find a thoughtful curriculum designed to help you build a creative habit with the help of weekly plans, supply lists, simple prompt guides, and a community to support you along the way..
Evelyne has been a Schoolhouse member since the beginning, and shares how it contributes to her family's creative habit:

You'll get all of this for as low as $12 a month. To put this in context, this is the cost of three coffees or two smoothies a month. My kids love smoothies, but if we can make those at home and spend the saving on learning and creative growth, it's an investment I won't regret.
How much would you to pay for daily art or science classes in your town or city? I'll bet it's easily 20 times the price on that alone, without the added benefit of supplies and prompts in your home that allow your child to practice creative habits at any point in the day.
“I've tried other things and wonder if I'll actually use this?”
Maybe you’ve tried other products like books, online classes, or YouTube videos and they haven’t helped you establish the creative habit you’re craving. You start strong and then life gets busy.
We understand this and designed Schoolhouse with a built-in success path that helps you stay on track in three ways:
Weekly Creative Plans: Easy to set up, and designed to save you time, with weekly reminders that keep you motivated and hold you accountable. Community of Support: A built-in Facebook community of families to cheer you on, plus access to TinkerLab educators for questions and support. 4-Stage TinkerLab Journey: Our foundational process that will help you with everything from setting up a maker space to giving you examples of engaging ways to talk with your child about their creative work.| |
If you still wonder if Schoolhouse is for you, we offer a 7-day free trial so you can test it without risk.
If you see that TinkerLab Schoolhouse is the key to finally establishing a creative routine with your young child, this is your chance to make it happen.
