Maker Studio
Create. Imagine. Tinker. Explore.
Hi Everyone!
Let's make something! Many of the challenges require only recycled materials and plenty of tape. Ü Some challenges require pointier objects like scissors, toothpicks, or other materials. Parental supervision is recommended. After all, Maker Challenges are fun for the whole family! Ü Please feel free to email me with any questions you might have or send me a picture of what you’ve made! I’d love to see what you’ve created!
