When you give a human a potato, beautiful things can happen.
Since 2015, I have been carving a potato into an animal every Thanksgiving to make space for some creativity and fun. To my utter delight, I've had the opportunity to share this practice with organizations in hands-on playful learning workshops for holiday parties and happy hours, including Apple, Harvard Graduate School of Education, Creative Mornings, PBS KIDS, Solaris Bank, and McMaster University. If you're interested in working together to host a potato workshop, here's what you can expect:
