I’ve shared some of my coloring book pages and now, I’d love your feedback on a coloring book cover. I’ve mocked up two ideas and as a parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle, teacher, etc. I’m curious if one or the other calls to you. If you have time, and feel comfortable leaving why or why not, even better. I prefer I added one more option. Oops.

Dive into the conversations, share your stories, and remember, there's no such thing as too silly when it comes to play. We're so glad you're here.

Borrowing this idea from @Tosca Fasso Fall is here for those of us in the northern hemisphere while spring is springing down under and it’s time for some family fun! Which would you choose? 👻 Spooky decorations OR 🎃 Silly pumpkins? 🧥 Cozy sweaters OR 🩳 Shorts until December? 🏠 Blanket fort OR 🚜 Hayride? 🎬 Family movie night OR 🎲 Family game night? 🍪 Baking cookies OR 🧁 Decorating cupcakes? 🌷 Spring picnic OR 🍂 Autumn adventure? Here's the twist! Ask the kids in your life to pick their favorites. Then choose ONE activity to enjoy together this weekend. Whether you're welcoming spring or celebrating fall, come back and tell us what you did! Come back and tell us what you chose. Did everyone agree, or did you have to negotiate? 😂 A little play. A little connection. A new family memory.

Hi everyone, I've been working on two very different projects for the community. One is with my partner Ken and revolves around food and coloring and is designed for the 3-9 year old set. The other is a new approach to the labs. I'm looking for a few play testers who would be willing to try out the new lab ideas and provide feedback. I'm still thinking about how I can reward and recognize you for your help but let me know if that sounds like something of interest. The first lab change is to the Build lab.
