What online forums or communities are best for sharing tips on encouraging boys in handmade?
I'm looking for good online spaces to connect with others who are trying to foster an interest in handmade crafts and hobbies in boys. It feels like a lot of the crafting communities I've found are heavily geared towards a female audience,whether that's the projects themselves or the general community vibe.I'm hoping to find forums or subreddits that specifically address the different approaches and interests that might resonate with boys, or at least offer more diverse project ideas beyond traditional "girly" crafts.
Are there any maker communities that are particularly good for sharing tips on things like woodworking projects for younger kids, building mini-robots, leatherworking with a STEM focus, or even just finding more "masculine"-coded color palettes and design aesthetics for traditionally female crafts like knitting or sewing? I'd love to hear about any active forums, subreddits, or even Discord servers where people are discussing how to engage boys in creative handmade activities. Maybe even resources for combating some societal stereotypes? Thanks for any suggestions!
