Ready for Stress-Free Creative Time?
You know creativity matters.
But between complicated setups, dreaded cleanup, and wondering if you're "artistic enough," meaningful art time rarely happens.
Does This Sound Familiar?
You watch your child rush through activities, missing the joy of discovery that creative time should bring (and leaving you wondering if they’re secretly training for an art speed competition)
Your heart sinks as your child asks “Is this right?” instead of exploring their own creative ideas
You feel awful, seeing promising art supplies collect dust while your child gravitates to screens for instant entertainment
Imagine instead...
You set up engaging activities in minutes
Children confidently explore materials their own way
You watch faces light up with pride as they discover creative solutions
The TinkerLab Method™
1. Simple Setup. Because you don’t need another complicated system (or another reason to question your life choices at 9pm)
2. Spark Curiosity. Where the real magic happens
3. Watch Confidence Bloom. This is why it all matters
Why this works
1. simple setup
Remember when play used to be simple? We’re bringing that back. Our method starts with what you already have at home – no special materials, no art degree required.
2. spark curiosity
Witness your child move from “I’m bored” to “Can I try that?” Our curiosity-led approach naturally pulls kids away from screens and into active learning.
3. watch confidence bloom
See the change as your child discovers their creative voice. Parents tell us this is the moment that makes it all worth it – when their child stops saying “I can’t” and starts saying “Let me show you what I made!”

Hey there, I'm Rachelle
As a mom, educator, and founder of TinkerLab, I’ve spent over two decades helping thousands of parents and teachers nurture children’s creative thinking through art. I believe that every child deserves the chance to think like an artist and inventor, and that making art should be joyful, not something that makes you wonder why you ever bought washable markers that aren’t actually that washable.
Hope to see you inside the studio! xo
