Kids are natural tinkerers. They experiment, explore, test, and play, and they learn a great deal about problem-solving through questions and hands-on experiments. They don't see lines between disciplines; rather, they notice interesting materials and ideas that are worth exploring. This book is about creative experiments, in all fields, that help kids explore the world. Children gravitate toward sensory experiences (playing with slime), figuring out how things work (taking toys apart), and testing the limits of materials (mixing a tray of paint together until it makes a solid mass of brown). They're not limited by their imaginations, and a wooden spoon can become a magic wand as quickly as a bag of pom-poms can become a hot bowl of soup. This book is about helping parents and teachers of babies, toddlers, and preschoolers understand and tap into this natural energy with engaging, kid-tested, easy-to-implement projects that value process over product. The creative experiments shared in this book foster curiosity, promote creative and critical thinking, and encourage tinkering--mindsets that are important to children growing up in a world that values independent thinking. In addition to offering a host of activities that parents and teachers can put to use right away, this book also includes a buffet of recipes (magic potions, different kinds of play dough, silly putty, and homemade butter) and a detailed list of materials to include in the art pantry. To see what your friends thought of this book,It has a number of sections that touch on different aspects such as drawing, colouring, building, concocting and cooking.

The general sections are fairly in It has a number of sections that touch on different aspects such as drawing, colouring, building, concocting and cooking. It also starts with ways to set up a household for discovery and invitations to play. Overall, it was a good book, although it bordered on idealistic in terms of how much time parents would have to carry out activities, answer questions, and what not. It's definitely worth a look although it probably wouldn't be one I'd suggest buying to keep around for reference. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The photos were lovely and added just the right touch to the book. I loved how it included kids in the set up, determining supplies, and encouraged them to look at boredom as a way of discovery. It also provides lists and ideas on how to turn a space in your home to a creative zone for your kids and great ideas and experiences that can be done outdoors. The activities are doable, kid friendly, and not expensive. I learned to dedicate a corner of our place to her art projects. I bought a small shelf to organise her art materials and got inspired to buy some art supplies and use ordinary materials, which I may want to recycle, for her art projects. I also learned some scientific ideas to practice with her when she shows some interest. Overall the book was very inspiring. I just wish there were more pictures instead of a lot of text. Great tips and ideas to encourage creativity and exploration with children from 2 through primary school. For new parents or anyone new to setting up creative spaces for kids, this would be a great book. For new parents or anyone new to setting up creative spaces for kids, this would be a great book.

I plan to purchase a copy of this as an addition to my teaching reference library. I have one granddaughter who is nearly two. I am so excited to implement the ideas in this book. I read a review from someone who was hoping more for ready to go ideas and not so much theory. I adore theory. But there are a lot of ideas that are ready to go, or those that need minimal planning.

There were lots of ideas for older kids that won't work yet for my son, but there were plenty of ideas I could use right now. I borrowed this book from the library, but I would buy this book. It also if for parents at home where as I was looking for examples to use in the classroom. I will definitely be putting paper on the slide and sending the kids down the ramp with colours and paint cars etc. I will also be setting up some water runs. I expected more ideas related to 'tinkering' with hammers, nails, saws, timber etc.Some great ideas, and lovely presentation, just not for us. I expected more ideas related to 'tinkering' with hammers, nails, saws, timber etc.Some great ideas, and lovely presentation, just not for us. The text is very accessible and there is so much practical information in it. I like how Doorley combined her expertise with info from early childhood and art experts. I hope there are more books like this coming from Doorley. Many fun ideas to do with them. I have read or I should say attempted to read many books that fit into the categories of STEM, Art, and the Maker world. Some are not very good because people just want the quick buck.

Some are not very good because people just want the quick buck. But, there are some mandatory reading and one of those is Tinkerlab by Rachelle Doorley. This book takes a look at play, experiments, tinkering, and creative thinking for young kids. However, what I found was a book that was loaded with ideas and projects that spark this creative flare in any age and person.https://gingersgarden.com/images/99-ranger-manual-hub-conversion.pdf The book contains 55 experiments with paint, art, pulleys, electricity, playdough, naked eggs, goop, lava lamps and more. This is one of the very few books where I did more than just read and took notes. My two daughters loved the painting activities from painting various objects to salt mixed with watercolor. I took the idea of using stickers with paint and started to handcraft my own presentation slide templates. She tracks it down and knows exactly how to use it. She goes to an activity, looks at the pictures, attempts to find the materials, and asks me to join her. It has turned out to be a resource that has led to some great family time experimenting and playing which is what I preach in all my teaching at school. You can see her passion with paint all over her face. She did not care as she was in the zone. There is something for anyone even though the activities are designed for younger kids. I am working on taking these ideas as a launching point to hook kids to remind them what it is like to think young again and build momentum from there to higher levels of thoughts. I also took the content and am applying the ideas to my classroom in general in regards to materials, open access, and creating a positive environment to explore and ask questions. I really hope more people check this book out as it surprised me in how helpful and enjoyable the book was to read. I cannot wait until the weekend to do more experimenting. You can buy the book here Check out her website and social media as well. I just followed it all to stay motivated. Some of the projects we may try soon: homemade play-doh, making natural dyes, edible paint and hopefully setting up a more organized Tinkerlab. Thank you, Aunt Debbie for this wonderful book that I plan to refer back to all the time. My four-year old has taken the inspiration and run with it!

Feels overwhelming. A lot of the ideas could be found online for free. Not a fan of playing with food. You could just leave it on your kitchen table and flip through it a few times in the week and find something inspiring to do on the weekend.

My fave quote: give yourself permission to be engaged in an activity where there's no goal. As a crafter, this is usually our biggest disconnect. I was also disappointed with the length of time that philosophies behind creativity was discussed. As a parent who was purely looking for new ideas of projects to do with my kids, this really turned me off as I was not expecting half of the book to be about child development theories. I'm using it for inspiration for a STEM based after-school program, but I can't wait to try projects with my own children. Each project contains enough information to help you feel comfortable getting started, but is pleasingly open-ended. The projects don't feel like step-by-step recipes, instead they are invitations to explore and idea and find out where it takes you.

There are no discussion topics on this book yet.Makers have a curiosity for the built world around them. Understanding where things come from, how they are made, the potential of their function now and beyond, and what it takes to make something not only provides a context to appreciate the object at hand but is essential to imagining infinite possibilities for the future.”. The reviews are glorious and humbling, and I’m delighted that the TinkerLab book is moving into the hearts and minds of so many parents, educators, grandparents, caregivers, and makers.I read the book in one sitting (it was that well written) but know I will be referring back to it for years as I encourage my own daughters’ tinkering, experimenting, and creative development.”—Jean V’ant Hul, author of The Artful Parent The teacher in me respects the approach to creativity, process, and self-directed exploration.

Which is why I’m so excited to tell you about the new book from one of my very favorite blogging friends, Rachelle over at TinkerLab.

She oversaw school programs at the San Jose Museum of Art, lectures on Visual Thinking Strategies at Stanford University, designed a hands-on art curriculum for the San Francisco Children’s Creativity Museum and, in her former life, worked on films with Warner Brothers and Universal Pictures.
