Behind the Scenes: Teaching Kids

On October 25, 2025, we made our annual trip to beautiful Kent, Connecticut to participate in SPARK Kent- an event created by TradesUP - where trades and artisanal crafts professionals share their expertise and enthusiasm with hundreds of young people.

Throughout the day, dozens of trades experts use safe and tested approaches to teach kids how to create, make, and problem solve with their hands.

At our tent, we had the kids make fairy houses and villages! They were very creative and had a great time!
