Makerspace

The library makerspace is our new happy place. The kids designed and created their own camp wild stickers and iron on transfers, used the heat press to make t-shirts, played with snap circuits, Legos, made a welcome home banner for sister willlardson, Father’s Day cards, 3D printed fidget toys, and used the glow forge to engrave cutting boards for Father’s Day. 

Another benefit of this space is that the children are old enough to go in there independently, so I was able to meet with the SBO board one day in the library while the kids were entertained and creating awesome stuff in the makerspace! 

We go once a week, work on a project, take a break for free lunch at the library (aaron joins us sometimes), and then we check out our books for the week. They are living their best summer lives! I could have only dreamed of this kind of place as a child, and even as an adult, it’s my favorite thing! We are going to yearn to use the embroidery machine next.
