I got my copy of Gever Tulley's (Tinkering School) new book today. Every parent should have one! Get yours here.
Today I also spent hours and hours writing about the importance of play and inquiry in children's lives... so here, I'll just borrow from the Foreward:
This book is a guide to developing better questioners, tinkerers, experimenters, and thinkers. These are the tools with which children ultimately become inquisitive members of society and are the underpinnings of our next generation of inventors, innovators, and leaders.
