Eight nights everyone actually shows up for.
$3. Instant access. First night can be this week.
- 45 minutes, same rhythm every week: make, show, keep
- Screens go in a box before you start, not during
- One photo a week, so it becomes a tradition and not a chore
Here's one of them, free.
The 3-Act Flow
What you need
- A table, a box for the screens, and whatever that week's project needs
- MAKE, 30 to 40 minutes. Hands busy, building the thing.
- SHOW, 5 to 10 minutes. Everyone shows what they made. No judging, just showing.
- KEEP, 5 minutes. One photo, one keepsake.
The scienceThe rule that saves the night: screens go in a box BEFORE you start, not during. And announce it as "project night starts in ten minutes," never "give me your tablet." You are inviting them to something rather than taking something away, and that single reframe is the difference between everyone turning up and a fight at the table.
You do not need to be crafty. Household supplies and one short list per night.
What you get
- 8 complete nights, 45 to 60 minutes each
- The 3-act flow: make, show, keep
- A short supply list per night, mostly household
- The one photo per week that makes it stick
