my new favorite substack. thanks for always putting thoughtful, accessible words out into the world. I am a child-free auntie and i'm working on emulating a lot of your practices :)
Bead lizards! I, too, thought these were too difficult to make and I gobbled up this story (and video) eagerly. Ah, YouTube is still full of delights. I may go on the the hunt for some pony beads ahead of Thanksgiving... Thanks for sharing ❤️
Agreed. I'm going on year two of being an auntie to a refugee family whose eldest is in 6th grade this year, and we've done a wide variety of activities, but some of the fondest memories I have are the nights that we all just hung out and the older kids practiced reading (THEIR IDEA) with/to me, and their mom kept the younger ones quietly entertained.
Also, these kids absolutely LOVE teaching me words in their native language. (I love it too.)

I still have my spare keys attached to a stretched out bead lizard my son made for me at least 25 years ago.
It guarded my car keys for at least 10 years when it was replaced by a leather fob he gave me to replace it.
Thanks for the reminder…I shall teach my grandson this heirloom skill❤️❤️❤️
