- Books are like portals to different worlds. What's your favorite book about, and how can we bring it to life through art?
- Gaming is a way to interact with stories and characters. How can we create our own gaming world using simple materials?
- Sensory toys help us explore our senses. What textures do you enjoy the most, and can we incorporate them into our craft projects?
