Happy Wednesday!
What a fun and crazy week it's been so far. We hosted a pumpkin carving event for our dorm residents last night, and over 100 pumpkins were carved for our neighborhood lantern festival! The festival is tonight at Stanford's Gerhard Quad, 7-9 pm. Stop by and say hello if you're in the area :) I'd love to see you.
I have a fun giveaway for this generous pack of STEAM-focussed books (my cursive book included!), so be sure to drop your name in the hat. Details below. Related, my cursive book is selling on Amazon for under $5 right now. More about that below, too!
Creative Adventures in Cursive - under $5! I want to send you a FREE companion PDF workbook. My cursive craft book is on a crazy Amazon sale right now, and it likely won't last. If you buy a copy and leave a review, message me back with a copy of your receipt and review by Friday, November 8, and I'll email you a free PDF companion cursive workbook :) Typehunting! If you like vintage things, especially fonts, this website is soooo fun to peruse. It's a virutal museum of old fonts, and many will take you back to the olden days. Fun to share with kids! Make your own Light Table. With the weather getting cooler, it's helpful to bring some of the creative energy indoors. You can make this easy light table with a plastic tub and holiday lights (easy to find this time of year). Spaghetti Marshmallow Challenge. This is one of our most popular posts, and it's a fun and engaging engineering challenge that you can do with some basic kitchen supplies. I first tried this when my kids were ages 4 and 6, so it's great for littles, older kids, or a family game night. A case for Problem-based Learning. This article shares research that shows how immersive, project-based learning techniques go further toward helping kids learn. Amen! Babies can count. Read about how babies may understand counting before they fully understand numbers. Book Pack Giveaway! Quarto, the publisher of my book, Creative Adventures in Cursive, is giving away a pack of STEAM-related books to one lucky TinkerLab reader. Enter to win by 10 am PT on November 4. Start your own kids' art classes. My friend, Jean, at The Artful Parent, interviewed two other friends about their successful kids art classes. If you're thinking about starting a kids' art class or business, read on to hear their tips. Thanks for reading! If you enjoy the newsletter, feel free to forward it to a friend.
