Come Gather with the wooden Fellows
Building stories on Air (in Person and live streaming)
Building Stories On Air, a partnership between Giggles and Chisels, LLC and WCOM-LP, is a weekly radio program where young children to adults build stories together, across generations, using story starters, gentle prompts and whimsical characters. By elevating stories invented across generations, our broadcast aims to gently remind everyone, i.e., adults and children alike, of the beauty of imagination.
Each episode is broadcast on Sunday on WCOM-LP from 4 pm to 5 pm ET. The recording is posted the following week.
We do welcome guests, to simply listen or add on! Reach out if interested!
Cost: Free (once invited by the wooden Fellows)
Building stories under the tree (in person)
On the 2nd Thursday of each month, we gather under the tree at Lanza’s Cafe (Carrboro, NC) to practice our imagination skills.
Stay 5 minutes or the whole hour. Come alone, with a young child, or a grown-up friend. Everyone is welcome, as imagination is ageless. We just need a reminder from time to time 🙂
Cost: Free. Just bring yourself (and a drink, Lanza’s Cafe has some great ones : )
1-on-1 Sessions & Workshops (In Person and remote)
Want to take a step further? Join us for a 1-on-1 session or a workshop (exploring the joy of early math, or reconnecting with your inner child (coming up soon!)).
All sessions and workshops are facilitated by Frédérique, founder of Giggles and Chisels, LLC, but yes, the wooden Fellows will pop up, of course.
Frédérique has worked in early childhood for over 15 years and loved exploring early mathematics through picturebooks during her doctoral studies. She has a deep admiration for young children’s fascinating ways of thinking and loves sharing her passion for those young minds. She created the wooden Fellows to help people slow down, notice, and deepen their connection with young children while also rediscovering their own inner child.
