Makers



seventy one

Things that are awesome about having makers in the house:

  • *There are always scissors around (unless they’ve been used and left someplace that no one can remember)
  • *Everything is art (yes, even that unrecognizable thing you found on the floor and threw out yesterday…)
  • *One can often feel accomplished before breakfast (messy and or cut pjs are a hazard of the makerspace)
  • *Anything can become a toy (paper, cardboard, even those Lincoln Logs you’ve masking-taped together)
  • *Creativity runs rampant and sparks interesting projects and conversations (not to mention all the confetti and used-scotch-tape wads scattered about)
  • *If you don’t have something you need, you can make it (or even if you have two other coin banks you can still make a new one from an old Baking Powder tin)
  • Designs and ideas are tested, tossed and reworked (usually at the expense of more ‘productive’ activities)
  • Everything has potential (the empty carton, the scraps, the failed projects, even you and I)
