This one's a bit long but I think you'll enjoy learning about some of our newest members. Why not pull up a virtual chair, find a new member and say Hi in the comments. For those just exploring, the Summit Classrooms: Cooking, Experts, Crafts/Hobbies, and Tech close today but you can purchase an All Access pass for $16 to see all the cool stuff you missed during our summit earlier this month. For those looking for activities, if you click the Classroom, you'll find the Curious Kitchen, Build, Play, and Story labs. Take a peek and let us know what you try. More labs posting this week. And now, without further delay - let's welcome our newest community members. We're thrilled to have a wonderful wave of new members joining us—people who get it, who believe in the power of play and real connection with the kids in their lives. @Kylie Larsen is here because she's passionate about helping students build confidence and develop winning strategies, and now she's bringing that same energy to family life. She's working through some health challenges with her family and wants her kids: Ry, Evans, and Kinley to trade screens for meaningful time together. @Krissy B is diving in with four little ones under six and a goal to get more hands-on and active in their everyday lives, a beautiful shift toward intentional parenting. @Morning Smiles is here because she's raising a future doctor and wants to nurture her daughter's ambitions while creating lasting memories together. @Angel Gerry loves the idea of using play to build stronger bonds and create meaningful moments with the children she cares about, that's exactly what we're all about here. @Angela Hawkins works with small children and is organized, caffeinated, and ready to find new ways to connect through play. @Natalie Naslund, a first-time homeschooling mom of five, wants to teach her kids to cook and share the joy of the kitchen together.

We have so many new members in the community, I wanted to first remind everyone that we have four classrooms, each with a different focus. 1. Curious Kitchen #Welcome to Mix, Bubble, and Bake with 6 different kitchen science activities for you and more coming next week. 2. The Play Lab featuring 6 different play labs starting with #Day 1: The Observation Mission. The Play Lab also has play ideas for ages 3-17 broken down by ages start here: Quick and Easy Play Ideas. 3. The Story Lab is our most recent lab beginning with #Day 1: Object Stories and includes 6 activities perfect for introducing storytelling. 4. Our newest lab is the Build Lab and every day this week, you'll get one new activity and Activity card. Each lab also includes a printable journal page to keep track of your adventures. Beginning August 16, the labs will be available with a paid $9/month membership but remain free for all founding members (that's you!). Let's have some fun building. Here is the journal and activity card for #Day 1: Paper Power

Thanks to thanks to the early risers who joined @Janell Bitton and @Celia Kibler this morning. Their sessions will be uploaded to the classroom shortly. And, for those who are looking for more ways to instill a love of reading into their family, be sure to mark @Elizabeth Raum session on The Joys of Reading at 2 p.m. We've had lots of sessions and lots of conversations, and today, I wanted to lighten things up with a little game of This or That. Drop your comments below and I'll randomly choose a winner from the Wheel of Names on Saturday for a free All-Access pass. You have to choose! No loopholes. Would you rather... 1. Cook dinner with a 7-year-old sous chef OR let a teen choose the entire menu? 2. Give up your phone for 24 hours OR let your kid see your weekly screen-time report? 3. Learn crochet OR learn guitar? 4. Let your child ask an expert one question about you OR you get to ask an expert one question about them? 5. Bake bread without a recipe OR build something without instructions? 6. Your family gets an unexpected free Saturday: make something, cook something, play something, or go somewhere? 7. FINAL BOSS: You can keep only one Unplug & Play track for the rest of the Summit: Culinary, Tech, Experts, or Craft & Hobby. Which survives?

Well done, Mary! 😊 What an amazing milestone — over 300 members and still growing! 👏 It’s wonderful to see the community getting bigger, with more people joining, sharing, learning and supporting one another. A huge congratulations to everyone involved in building such a friendly and valuable community. Here’s to the next milestone — 500 members, perhaps? 😄🚀
