The Unschooling Toolbox is a set of 48 business-sized cards, each with an unschooling idea on front *and* back (so 96 thoughts total), plus a magnet.
Each day pull out a new card and attach it with the magnet somewhere you'll run across it several times a day (like your refrigerator).
The (unintentionally) deluxe version has a memory stone to carry in your pocket. So if there's an idea you're having trouble remembering to do in the moment, you put the memory stone in your pocket to remind you. They're just regular stones so you can use your own. :-) (The (unintentionally) deluxe version also comes with a tea tin to hold the cards and stone. The magnet ca attach to the tin which is a little more portable than your refrigerator ;-))
Some sample Unschooling Toolbox ideas. (91 more :-))
* The right answer isn’t as important as trying things out to discover what is right for them.
* If they can’t say no, then you aren’t really asking.
* Build meeting your own needs into your day. You have that power!
* Unschooling is about creating an environment in which natural learning can flourish. — Sandra Dodd
* Why not?
Two options:
$7 these are buff/oak tag/manila folder color card stock. I only have 11 sets of these. To make up for the less than unexciting color, these are world travelers :-) They've been to Portugal, The Netherlands and England. And I can send them out right away.
(I also have 1 set left that's bilingual: Portuguese and English. Marta Pires and Alex Polikowsky did the translating.)
$10 these are pretty brightly hued card stock. It will take me a couple of days to cut these. (I can also print them in English/Portuguese.)
I do NOT have any tea tins left. But more will be coming slowly as I drink the tea that's in them. If you're interested in eventually having a tea tin and memory stone, just let me know and I'll make a list.
$4 extra (for postage) for tea tin and stone. **WHEN** I get some more tea tins.

I love this idea!!
A few weeks ago, I was wondering if there should be an app that was somewhat similar to your toolbox cards (although today is, I think, the first time I've heard of them). My idea was about virtual cards someone could flip through in a spare moment or when they need a little inspiration.

Saving those links might be a little like virtual cards.

Have you ever thought of making 'Add Light and Stir' into a book? One for each day of the year like on the blog? I've often thought how I would like to be able to flick through one :)

I've thought of it. I'd like for the links to be clickable and have been too busy to look into how to do that, in an eBook. If the file for the eBook had color photos and clickable links, having a B&W version for paper-print would be simple.
Some of those photos would be fine in black and white. Some wouldn't, so that would be a complicating factor.
And there are enough for three books there already. Another complication. :-)
It's a definite maybe.

When I read a phrase or sentence that inspires me, I copy it onto a little piece of paper and hide it somewhere around the house (in a drawer, a book, under a box…) Then when I'm going about my daily life I find these little scraps of paper and quickly read and rehide - often I seem to find exactly the reminder that I need at that moment to help make our lives more sparkly/peaceful/whatever we need.
I love the idea of Joyce's Toolbox too.

How great a gesture. :)
