Have you ever wished for a thoughtful space to pause and notice more deeply the uniqueness of young children? Or a space to let your imagination breathe, reconnecting with your own inner child?

Are you seeking ways to deepen your bond with a young child while also reconnecting with your own inner child? Extending their thinking in a joyful, meaningful way?

If so, our sessions are just what you may need!

How we will help you!

I am Frédérique, founder of Giggles and Chisels, LLC, and I have worked in early childhood for over 15 years. My doctoral studies focused on early math and picturebooks, and I have a deep admiration for young children’s fascinating ways of thinking. I created the Wooden Fellows to help people slow down, notice, and deepen their connection with young children while also rediscovering their own inner child.

Our 1:1 sessions will guide you to pause, observe, and understand a child’s thinking so you can create more meaningful connections. These sessions are especially relevant for adults who may be visiting or hosting a young child, such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, or family friends. Although parents are, of course, more than welcome, we want to acknowledge their busy schedules and the resources they may already have. By contrast, adults hosting/visiting a young often want to make the most of their limited time together but may need guidance to connect quickly and meaningfully. Our sessions are designed to meet that need, guiding everyone to engage fully and joyfully with a young child in the time they have.

Each session features the Wooden Fellows, presented live, through photos, or through short videos, to spark curiosity, conversation, and playful noticing.

All sessions are 1:1, 45 minutes, online, and begin with a 15-minute free consultation so that each session is thoughtfully tailored to your goals.

We keep limited spots available so we can offer you the best of the best!
