The Cardboard Shed was born from that clarity. It's everything that worked from my years with Oglee Poglee, stripped back to what's essential. And it's everything I learned about connection when we started home educating. I finally had the confidence to say: It's just cardboard. And that's enough.

The Cardboard Shed is so much more than cardboard. It's a space where families learn about each other. Where parents get to be creative like they haven't been in years and show a different side of themselves to their kids. Where children lead and parents become willing assistants. Where everyone shares their skills, experiments together, and discovers new things about each other.
 

I get to witness precious moments where a spark of an idea ignites and a child's eyes light up. Where a parent gets lost in creating for the first time in decades. Where siblings who usually bicker collaborate on something amazing. Where families reconnect through making. It's not just about providing space, time, and resources. It's about offering the gifts of listening, enthusiasm, and understanding thus creating the conditions for families to truly see each other. Here, I see curiosity and creativity at their best. And I see families discovering each other in new ways.
