What's a handmade homeschool? We are! From dinosaurs to rainbows and crayon pops to chalkboard blocks, the two adult artists-in-residence in our family spend our days collaborating with the two child artists-in-residence to create the products that our children use for learning and play--at least, we do when we're not spending the day reading novels in the hammock, or playing with the cats, or making yet another batch of sugar cookies!

Sure, you'll find educational materials here, such as numbered beanbags and rainbow-order felt board puzzles, but you'll also find items inspired by kid passions--the kid who loves rainbows and the kid who's obsessed with bees both love to help me create our rolled beeswax candles--and by adult intellectual pursuits. Yep, comic books ARE an intellectual pursuit. Good to know, right?

Here's a brief and non-exclusive list of our passions, and yes, this is what you'll find crafted for you in our shop: dinosaurs, graphic design, fish, rockets, vinyl records, quilting, fairies, reading, video games, Tibet, multiplication, unicorns, Star Wars, vintage crafting supplies, Little House on the Prairie, ponies, cooking, crayons, chemistry, and cursive. And that's just this week!
