A Craft room in a Google office

Earlier this week I was in a Google office building in Sunnyvale, California, when I saw the neatest thing: a craft room for employees to use whenever they'd like.

Is that a strange idea? It makes sense, if you think about it. You might have heard some companies have a gym for employees to use. Google has that offering--with available trainers too. So if you can take a break from work with physical exercise, why wouldn't a craft room be a good idea too? It could be a place to take a mental break from work.

It's a great idea! I totally love it. Here are some pictures of what the space looks like.

Yep. No doubt about it. Google is a fun place to work :-)
