Hello! I am a mother of two young kids. We’re a boisterous, creative family. I devour books on the subject of crafting with kids. Tinkerlab is by far my favorite book on the subject. I feel inspired and like I am capable of inviting my children to participate in nearly every activity outlined in Rachelle’s book. What a great feeling…it’s exciting! I borrowed a copy from my library but today I have purchased two copies. One for myself, and one for a friend as a gift at her baby shower. If a parent applies the principles outlined in ‘Tinkerlab’ not only will that parent help foster creativity and connection, but he/she will also be teaching the principles for a happy and healthy life. It is never too early to learn and share those life lessons. Thank you for giving of yourself in creating this book Rachelle and for adding a gem to our family library.
