Maker Spaces can be used for any subject, so it is important to keep your space well stocked. The more supplies you have, the more ideas the children can have with them. A Maker Space doesn’t need to be huge, but make sure they are nicely organized for easy access.

Ask other teachers and staff in the building to bring in old recyclables to be used as crafts. Lego walls are a great addition. Green screens allow children to create videos with special effects. Room to display the creativity.

It is important to make your Maker Space bright and fun! The more creative your space looks, the more creative the kids can be!
