What Teachers Say
Dr. Alicia Blum-Ross London School of Economics
I recently ran a workshop for 3-5 year olds using ‘squishy circuits’ - teaching them the basic concepts of circuitry using play-doh. For such young children this visual introduction allowed us to get into the activity without a lot of preamble, and provided an excellent hook for later reflection and discussion.
Jason Parent
We really do love Okido, it’s such a breath of fresh air in children’s books/magazines/programming. Our daughter fell in love with messy when we got her the messy monster book, and she’s been obsessed ever since!
Juliet Plants Parent
