It may include screw drivers, goggles, keys, padlocks, old clocks and machines. This area promotes the language of skill, higher order thinking, and the conceptual understandings the children discover as they tinker. --The Walker Learning Approach What Do You Do With An Idea? is an award winning book that has universal appeal as a we get and share ideas, wrestling with the opposition of others, and how we can protect and feed our own unique ideas. This book inspires us to the change the world with our ideas. Not exactly tinkering in the illustrations, but gives us confidence and shows perseverance in coming up with an idea and making space for it in our lives. https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F2vy64JY&data=02%7C01%7C%7C03f4ebe7c340498ecdd308d7bf228f68%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637188027456642303&sdata=9VauXC2Sgp%2BuCvBseEA%2FK%2FTg1ubSi7I3EsIFCAAmWak%3D&reserved=0

    Stick Sculptures Feb 11, 2020
    Show notes

    Willows for Sale—Rusty Keeler https://earthplay.net/product/spring-willow/ Patrick Dougherty: http://www.stickwork.net/ Quote I think that part of my work's allure is its impermanence, the life cycle that is built into the growth and decay of saplings. My focus has always been the process of building a work and allowing those who pass to enjoy the daily changes or drama of building a sculpture as well as the final product. However, the line between trash and treasure is thin, and the sculptures, like the sticks they are made from, begin to fade after two years. Often the public imagines that a work of art should be made to last, but I believe that a sculpture, like a good flower bed, has its season. – Patrick Dougherty (source) Sticks are something we all have in common. Everybody knows sticks – the twigs and branches picked up on grandfather's farm; the branches woven in grandmother's basket. Somewhere threaded in all the public mass is a common thread, and that thread is the human spirit. --Patrick Dougherty Books (aff links) Stickwork by Patrick Dougherty--I think I absolutely love this because I was able to work side by side with Patrick on one of his creations. I enjoyed the process and love his whimsical stick work. Since we have ample sticks, this is great eye candy as we get started with outdoor creations. Read about our adventures here.

They think I am a nonperson, just a name that signifies a tangled web of pipes or wires or strings that suggest machinery. My name to them is like a spiral staircase, veal cutlets, barber's itch—terms that give you an immediate picture of what they mean." ― Rube Goldberg, Inventions: The Legendary Works (A) of America's (B) Most Honored (C) Cartoonist Books Just Like Rube Goldberg: https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F2UqjfXB&data=02%7C01%7C%7C11b92a3d37bd49a5b26a08d7a8b7b012%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637163379190842176&sdata=4r6giXL17RlrtPiQEIWgZxwKaGYl5LWQXOB4ysdMnBo%3D&reserved=0 Build Your Own Chain Reaction Machines https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F2uR76jC&data=02%7C01%7C%7C11b92a3d37bd49a5b26a08d7a8b7b012%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637163379190842176&sdata=CqGx0NnzSNxic%2BhF%2B6tjaBw1gUHljtvux32rMdq%2Bho0%3D&reserved=0

    An Evening with Richard Louv Dec 07, 2019
    Show notes

    Our relationships with other-than-human beings can have a profoundly positive impact on our health, our spirit, and our sense of inclusiveness in the world.

    --Richard Louv

    Play is a form of enchantment, bringing us out of ourselves and offering a deeper understanding of another creature, an expanded experience, and, when we reenter ourselves, maybe even greater wisdom.
