This blog is dedicated to sharing the concept that our hands are essential to learning- that we engage the world and its wonders, sensing and creating primarily through the agency of our hands. We abandon our children to education in boredom and intellectual escapism by failing to engage their hands in learning and making.

I am here at the craft show and the images at left show my booth and products. The whole show is full of wonderfully crafted objects. My wife was telling me this morning about a new diet in which you only eat things that come from a radius of one hundred miles of your own home. What if we had a "hundred mile Christmas?" ...One in which every thing we gave was a a reflection of our own communities and the people who live there? I won't hold my breath. We have a ways to go. As to the hundred mile diet, they don't grow coffee or bananas in Arkansas, but we do have is a huge array of hand crafted items suitable for gifts. Maybe I'll sell a few boxes.
