Some friends of mine needed to add to their video portfolio, and I was one of the lucky participants. If you want a quick peek inside my studio, check it out!

fun, joel. i rarely comment - but love looking at your designs. it's great to see you getting attention - congratulations on your new book, too! my twins are a bit older, but they still love creating!
Thanks Beth! Yeah, I think my twins will always be making stuff too! Always fun to see what they come up with!
I have been following you for a while, but have never commented either. It is so wonderful what you are doing for your own family and families across the world. What a fun glimpse into your "workspace." Thanks for sharing, and inspiring.
Thanks Heather! It sure is fun sharing ideas and learning from everybody! Kids especially!
Hello Joel, I live in Verona - Italy and I have no children ... but I have a niece 3 y.o. (Noemi) and play with her often. I am discovering (re-discovering) the world of childhood games and ... your site inspires me a lot. We don't need expensive toys to play with a child ! Just a bit of paper, cardboard, scissors and color ... and perhaps I enjoy as much as Noemi! THANK YOU !!!
it's so wonderful.
Hey Joel! I am an art teacher in Missouri. I've been following you for a while, thank you for all of your ideas, you are an inspiration!! I incorporate your projects in my classroom all the time.
This is so great! How fun to peek inside your work space.
Nice video man, interesting to see inside your space. The catapult at the end is awesome. Will be making that at breakfast tomorrow.
Thanks everybody! Glad to see you're having as much fun as I am!
Hi, I'm one of your fans in France. When do you have time to do all these things ?
Thanks everyone! Pooky - Thanks! I definitely have to work very fast. But I play and craft a lot with the kids of course too, so we do this stuff together. Have a good day in France! Joel
It is inspiring to me ! A real wow for making interactive toys that promote self expression and imaginative play. I am ready to sit down make toys for the grands and for me. I love to play too.
Thanks Liz! Yeah, have fun making some toys!!
You are STILL such an inspiration. Maybe more so since you have kept going. I have followed you for such a long time but was without the internet for a while. One of the first sites I have looked up now that I'm back is yours. I homeschool both my boys and your site is just such a good resource. I am off to share with the other homeschooling families so I don't feel selfish :) Thanks for (still) being awesome.
Thanks for the very nice note Andrea! You're too kind!
