As restaurants in Toronto get ready for Stage 3 op

As restaurants in Toronto get ready for Stage 3 opening, Maker Bean is proud to have been enacting safe practices since mid-March and for our current Summer Camps: regular santizing, hand washing, face masks worn and plexiglass shields up. We also have ear savers, hand sanitizer and kids' face masks for sale. ⛑️😷💦👐 Looking forward to being able to host some friendly faces again soon at the cafe! 🤗☕♥

Summer Camps in Toronto have looked very different

Summer Camps in Toronto have looked very different this year, if they're running at all - at The Maker Bean, we're thrilled to have completed our first week of in-person camps, with many precautions & policies in place for safety, and we think the social interaction, learning and fun was a huge boost to our campers' spirits! 🛠️💻🤗🌄

➡️ One of our camper's parents wrote an insightful article in Today's Parent about her difficult decision to send her daughter to Maker Bean camp, and the positive benefit of it for both of them. Read it in our bio!

It's Global Love Day today! ♥️🌎 It's been a strange 7 weeks since social distancing began and The Maker Bean moved to take-out only. It's a tough time for all small businesses - with no staff and only the 2 of us working everyday. But the silver lining is that we've got to spend a lot of time together, getting ready for the arrival of our baby bean and seeing the outpour of support from the community, friends and family to make PPE for those in need. Times are hard right now, but it will all pass and love will never go away. Happy #GlobalLoveDay #allinthistogether 💕👫

We'll send you a link to a video meeting where we'll share our screen and walk you through each step. Sign up at the link in our bio to receive those details! 🔗

The session is pay-what-you-can, via etransfer to info@themakerbean.com, and proceeds will go towards the 3D printing of protective gear for frontline health workers. 👩🏽‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

We're helping @communitymake , a @makerfestival initiative, to 3D print and laser cut face shields and other urgent medical supplies for hospitals in need. If you or anyone you know has access to:
+ 0.5mm PETG plastic for face shields
+ 3D printer or laser cutter

Monetary donations also welcome - we've set up a donation option as part of our gift card options on www.themakerbean.com/shop (link in bio). We're all in this together ♥

Know about the concept of bioavailability? 🏋🏿‍♀️ It influences how much of a vitamin or nutrient is absorbed into your body to have a positive effect, and some food pairs boost each other's bioavailability! 💪

One of the best examples of this is turmeric and black pepper. The healthy ingredient in turmeric, curcumin, has been shown in studies to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and disease-fighting qualities. The bad news? It's not easily absorbed into the body.
Enter black pepper! 🏃🏽 The piperine in black pepper boosts absorbtion of curcumin by a whopping 2000%! 🤯 It also adds a lovely spicy, rich flavour to your turmeric latte.

Now that's a good deal! 🦸‍♀️🤗 Come by and get one for take out today!

Mmm banana mocha smoothie - with white chocolate ♥️🤤 The perfect pick-me-up for this rainy Saturday! Available for Take-out with your choice of milk and chocolate!

UPDATE: All kids camps cancelled until further notice. ------------- With the recent extension of March Break by 2 weeks, The Maker Bean is here to support you with safe, educational and affordable options for your children if you're not able to manage at-home child care during this time. We’ll have our usual great maker activities each day to spark your children’s imagination, at a 30% discounted rate, while taking steps to address the current COVID-19 situation.

We are taking several precautions to ensure the safety of your kids and our staff: + Keep camp sizes small (max 10 kids, 2-3 /table) + Sanitize equipment before and after each camp + Check for symptoms as we register each child for camp + Instruct no contact between children throughout camps + Go outdoors to Dufferin Grove Park for physical activity

With the high cost of child care this year, we are reducing our per-day camp price for additional weeks by 30% to $65/day.

Link in bio to sign up, and please feel free to message us with questions.

Stay safe out there ♥️
