My kids watch YouTube videos of funny vines about animals, video game hacks, original animations, and Youtubers (people who make videos) who play videos games for a living by posting their videos up to YouTube. I can honestly say that in the beginning I didn’t understand it. Maybe it’s because I come from the generation where we watched cartoons after school and every Saturday morning. Maybe it’s because my husband and I voted for no…

Hello again! Lars’ Mom here. If your kiddos are anything like mine, they want more screen time – more time playing video games and  watching YouTube videos now that they have hours of free time during summer break.  Whether you work or you have all day with your kids, keeping them engaged in ‘productive’ activities all day can sometimes be a challenge during summer break. Am I right? I can work from pretty much anywhere I can hop onto…

I admit that after a long day in the office, a trip to the grocery store, making dinner and cleaning up afterwards, I’m not always the first one to jump up and say, “Let’s play a game!” I’m awake, but my brain is exhausted.

Lars is in third grade now. Life is filled with friends in various sports. Many of these sports do not appeal to Lars. One of his favorite things to say is, “I don’t do LAND sports.” But put this kid in water and look out! I suppose we (his parents) are a bit to blame for his lack of enthusiasm in land sports.

Seven year old kids are supposed to be dreaming about riding their bikes and begging mom and dad to take them to Disney World. Lars is no different in that respect. The biggest difference he has had in his life is the exposure…

Come visit us on the Blue Tip Gaming booth #1040 at the Cleveland IX Center for the 2017 Home and Garden show. The Larscraft Maker’s Chest and the Figure Showcase are on display. Be sure to check them out! The Home and Garden Show runs from February 3-12. Lars will be onsite intermittently throughout the show. He’d love to skip school to spend the day meeting new people, but mom flat out says ‘No’. She’s…

At Larscraft we believe in teaching and building young minds. We spent weeks preparing for an event that would uphold our company’s values. On Saturday June 4th, 2016 families from our local community attended our Young Maker’s Fair at Ricciardi’s Tree farm in Wadsworth, OH. The Young Maker’s Fair featured a variety of competitions and activity stations designed to show kids the fun involved in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics. Teams of mentors (parents, guardians, older…
