    As an elementary teacher in a rural coastal area, we don’t have a lot of crafty resources at our disposal. I love your ideas; thanks for reminding me that we can use paper, pen, fabric and scissors to make supercool stuff!

    As of Oct. 19 I am a work at home mom…with a 5 month old daughter, Rowan…and I am so excited to start working on toys & projects with and for her. I would love to *borrow* your brilliant ideas for inspiration.

  23. Hi from France ! I’m always looking for ideas to take care of my two years old daughter Anna who like handcraft so much. I think she definitely beats me with his imagination in creativity. She is totally a fan of your drawings she always finds new ways to decorate ! Your website is a source of ideas and encourage me to look for new things to do with daylife things or tissue we see every day but we don’t usually think good to create objects children and us often love. You open my eyes for this kind of research ! Thanks a lot for your ability in giving me that!

  24. Julieta

    I think you do lovely thinks!!!…I hope I can have your book to do some of your ideas!!!!
    Thank you for shearing all this things with us!

  25. Tea
