Imagine Childhood by Sarah Olmsted
For children, potential is limitless, curiosity is an electrical current, and every moment is open to the possibility of the unexpected. Day-to-day life is filled with adventure. Road blocks are invitations to try new routes. And the world is vast and expansive. This book is a celebration of childhood through the crafts and activities that invite wonder and play. The twenty-five projects and activities in this book are meant to speak to the way children engage with the world. These projects are not about what is produced in the end (although that part is fun too) but rather they are stepping-off points--activities that spark curiosity, an adventure, or an investigation. They're about the process of getting there. They're about the conversations that happen while making things together. They're about getting to know the world inch by inch. They're about exploring imaginary universes and running through real forests. They're about living in childhood . . . regardless of your actual age. They're about being a kid.Sarah Olmsted was born and raised in Colorado, where she spent most of her time learning about art, science, and the adjacent foothills and mountains. She worked as a freelance children's furniture designer/fabricator after getting a master of fine arts degree from the San Francisco Art Institute, which brought her to the Field Museum of Natural History. Before cofounding imaginechildhood.com in 2008, she worked in exhibit design, producing interactive educational activities for permanent and traveling exhibitions.
