Keeping Up With Kids

Does the well ever run dry?  Sometimes, even though we often have more ideas than time to do them, it is really great to have a few new places to look for ideas.  Here are a few I came across this week:

Library as Incubator had a great post about a new IMLS-funded project between Instructables (a maker-themed website) and libraries.  They are curating projects that will translate well to a library environment in a new, searchable and user-friendly Make It @ Your Library site.  You can limit the results based on type of project, age group, cost, and amount of time it takes.  I found everything from a popsicle stick harmonica to creating circuits with conductive paint to a DIY Smartphone Film Scanner.

Tiny Tips for Library Fun informed me about a new resource for sharing school-age ideas, like Flannel Fridays for the school-age set.  It’s called Thrive Thursday.  It’s brand new, and depends on people like you sharing ideas!
