Scratch is probably the obvious answer but my 6 year old loves this book specifically. It’s great

every time I fork out for one of these Grimms wooden toys it is an expensive gamble, but once again it is paying off.

With one of my children that is. The other has no interest. YMMV. They certainly do look pretty on the shelf 🌈

Done! (And the before, for those joining now).

I’m gonna do the toy shelf next

I’ve got the whole morning to myself, so I’m going to sort out these shelves that have been bothering me on a daily basis, for months. Sharing the before for some accountability, so I actually do it and post an after shot, instead of TikToking all morning.

despite admiring what other people have done with p5.js for years... I hadn't tried using it myself before today. I think I'm going to have a lot of fun making sketches.

No video on bluesky so you'll have to see the Pen to experience the pretty https://codepen.io/rachsmith/pen/vYVJaeJ
