Help getting started
in General
Hi, I signed up and I'm just trying to learn along with my son some of this great stuff. But I don't know where to get started or if there's a good materials and tools guide for a novice. I really just want to start with simple easy stuff, my son is in the autism spectrum and watching FaceOff or our recent trip to Monsterpalooza are the only things that really bring him out of his shell. He's very creative but I'm not very crafty and I will probably be doing most of the hands on work trying to interpret any ideas he has. So any suggestions of where to start or what to buy would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
