My plan is to have our 3rd grade IDEA Lab students make their own journals to use for brainstorming, sketching, planning, and note-taking.
I also want to have students add paper circuits (activity guide) to their journals to have them turn on a light or make a sound or some other interactive feature. Here are instructions from Jie Qi and a helpful tutorial.

— Tatian Greenleaf Last year, we began to transition from a more traditional Computer Lab to an Open Lab that could better accommodate a variety of activities including the 3rd grade IDEA Lab tinkering class co-taught by Thad Reichley and me.
This year, we plan to further this transition by removing furniture, re-designing the space, and adding tinkering and Maker materials and tools. — Tatian Greenleaf MacWorld has a Mac 101 blog that explains the basics of using a Mac. The first installment covers the Finder. It's good reading for anyone new to Macs, or for anyone who always wondered about an icon in the menubar.
