I believe that hands-on learning is the best kind of learning, whether for adults or children - and certainly for myself! Long before I imagined Team Challenges as a book, I was scrawling challenges on lined paper for my creative problem solving groups to use during their meetings. Those sheets of paper - never tidy - and the kids' love of tackling these problems led me to compile the activities in one place, resulting in Team Challenges. Shortly after I completed Team Challenges, I had the opportunity to pen two new books: Tools of the Ancient Greeks and Great Colonial America Projects You Can Build Yourself. Though a bit different in nature - history is a far cry from creative problem solving - both of these had that element I consider crucial for learning: hands-on activities.
I live on the Big Island of Hawai'i with my family, where I also write about family fun and travel for publications like Parents, Parenting, Islands, Disney's FamilyFun, and more.
