What truly set 'The Toymaker' apart was his deep understanding of the 4th-grade science curriculum. He effortlessly connected the toy-building activities to key concepts of movement and energy, making the learning both relevant and exciting.
We loved the event! My kids asked if we could do Toymaker every day! They were so proud to take home their cool and funny toys. Thanks again for an amazing experience!
Third graders had a blast. Students were so excited to experiment with their toys.
Thank you for such a fun and engaging workshop! The kids loved it!... This was a perfect tie in to our 3rd grade science unit.
You make it easy to deliver fun, engaging, and Common Core-aligned curriculum. Thanks for making science fun and accessible. You impress with your knowledge, showmanship and energetic and organized instructional skills.
