It is so important for our kids to have the freedom to express their creativity. We live in a world of technology where it is so hard to get out kids to participate in hands-on sensory activities. Therefore, it is so important at a young age to introduce those types of functional activities where they can learn, bond with mom and dad, and build something they will look back on and be so proud of. We are joined for this episode, Sarah Wilson. She is a woodworker and mom of 2, just to name a few, and her business, Maker Monkey Workshop is designed for kids to have that creative experience while doing a hands-on project.
Sarah talks to us about the importance of creativeness that children need to be exposed to, and she makes that her mission through every kit she makes. Each kit on her website is designed for the child's age based on difficulty and theme. She talks to us more about teaching kids not to be afraid of tools because they are help be part of the process of our creative process when working on the projects. These kits on her website are a great task during the summertime to keep your child engaged and are a great way to see them grow from reading the kit's instructions to the final product.
Meet Sarah: I am an artist, woodworker, educator, and mom of two based in Miami, FL. My business, Maker Monkey Workshop, is a collection of at-home DIY projects that teach elementary-age kids how to use real tools to make fun and functional projects. I believe that helping kids develop creative skills through hands-on projects is an important part of their growth and development that will help them thrive in the real world.
