Crafty Dad

Here's a clever dad who put his creative skills to work to entertain his young children. What started as making thoughtful and loving toys for his twin babies, grew into a full time occupation. As his family grew, his ideas grew, and the interests of friends and others grew.

Check out Made by Joel for lots of clever family crafting ideas. If you'd like a sneak preview, have a look at this video first to see Joel and some of his clever creations.

I love that woodpecker! This reminds me of some of the things my mom and I used to create. I agree with Joel that it's valuable to help our children explore the wonders of the physical world through using all 5 senses, and to help them develop their ability to create.
