Clay Monograms
It doesn’t get more personal than this. In true Tinkerdoodle style, kids use colorful clay to shape a monogram that says something about them—their favorite colors, moods, patterns, and personality all built right in. No two are alike, because no two kids are alike. Totally unique, totally them.

Wooden Sculptures
You’d be amazed what kids can create from an assortment of simple wooden shapes. With a little imagination and a lot of playful experimentation, they start seeing things most adults might miss—flipping, turning, and reimagining each piece until it becomes something entirely new. That’s the magic of child-led making: open-ended exploration that sparks bold thinking…

Trinket Sculpture
In true Tinkerdoodle spirit, kids dive into a joyful mix of colorful trinkets and clay, choosing shapes, colors, and tiny treasures that reflect them. Favorite hues, unexpected combos, and playful details all come together in one delightfully haphazard creation!

Yarn Gardens
