The abacus is a calculating tool that’s been around for at least 4,000 years. They were used for addition, subtraction, multi­plication, and division, as well as more complicated mathematics. They’re still used for those things. One thing ancient peoples did not have was LED lights. Create your very own working LED Abacus!

A basket is really just a cornucopia with better functionality. Weave and sew this brilliant, beautiful basket. Decorate it, take it home, and fill it with berries or whatever you like for a Thanksgiving Feast!

Harvest Moon is just the name of the full moon that happens nearest to the autumnal equinox. It’s called the Harvest Moon because it gave farmers a little extra light so they could spend more time harvesting their crops. The Harvest Moon also makes a lovely nightlight!

If you’re a farmer, you have a lot of work to do this time of year. If you’re a bird, you have less work to do. A bird might happen fly over acres and acres of food growing in long, neat rows. Great for birds, not great for farmers. Scarecrows are not the most effective bird scarers, but they do work. They’re also autumnally decorative. Design and build your very own scarecrow to scare birds or to decorate the holiday table.
