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.

John Grossbohlin has been with his boys at scout camp and sent these photos of knot tying and building structures from poles and rope lashing.
John says that many of the fathers have never had the kind of opportunity that scout camp presents and are as excited as the scouts at the activities offered. Wouldn't you be, too?
Absolutely I'd be excited to have a chance to do that. Reminds me of a photo of scaffolding at a construction site in Hong Kong. It was all made from bamboo and tied together. And it was on the outside of a new skyscraper.
