# Kids Crafts with Maker Dad with Mark Frauenfelder Canonical URL: ## Overview Make your weekends more awesome with activities you and your kids can get their hands on. Join Make Magazine editor-in-chief Mark Frauenfelder and his daughter Jane for a class on cool, simple projects you can do with the whole family. In Kids Crafts with Maker Dad, you'll get the blueprints you need to complete projects together. You'll learn how to whip up a mixture that makes enormous bubbles and how to get started with polymer clay, a medium you can use to create custom toys, shapes, and figurines. You'll engage in a little trial-and-error learning by creating your own simple board and dice games. You'll also learn the more advanced magic of constructing a Drawbot, a simple robot that can make abstract art all by itself. This course will have even your most reluctant kid excited to get their hands dirty and start experimenting, making, and creating together. ## Instructors ### Mark Frauenfelder Mark Frauenfelder is the founding editor-in-chief of MAKE magazine, the founder of Boing (boingboing.net), and the editor-in-chief of Cool-Tools.org.
