Kids Creativity and Entertainment 2 (Package)

With a simple, witty story and free-spirited illustrations, Peter H. Reynolds entices even the stubbornly uncreative among us to make a mark — and follow where it takes us.

Her teacher smiled. “Just make a mark and see where it takes you.”

Art class is over, but Vashti is sitting glued to her chair in front of a blank piece of paper. The words of her teacher are a gentle invitation to express herself. But Vashti can’t draw – she’s no artist. To prove her point, Vashti jabs at a blank sheet of paper to make an unremarkable and angry mark. “There!” she says.

That one little dot marks the beginning of Vashti’s journey of surprise and self-discovery. That special moment is the core of Peter H. Reynolds’s delicate fable about the creative spirit in all of us.

One way to enhance creativity is to develop a new point of view and perspective towards our surroundings. This illustrated book, Look at This Way, does this perfectly. In this story, Lion finds an abstract painting in the middle of the jungle. When he looks closely at the painting, he sees his own picture in it. The other animals come and each find themselves in the painting, too. Later, the course of events change their point of view towards the world around them.

Now that we’ve talked about self confidence and new points of view, it’s time for practice— a one-year practice that enhances creativity and idea generation. In this notebook, we teach our child to think like a writer, painter, or artist. They need to write daily all the things that come to their minds, resulting in 365 days of experiencing creativity. In the end, our child will have a calendar full of his own creative ideas.

The newest from Barbara Reid: the story of a young mouse living in the subway, who dreams of the magical world called Tunnel’s End.

Nib is a subway mouse. As a young mouse, he loved to hear the stories about Tunnel’s End: a beautiful yet dangerous, roofless world. One day, Nib decides to set off, away from his dirty, crowded home, to find his dream. Along the way he meets a girl mouse named Lola, who joins him. Together, they navigate the long and dangerous tunnel, until, one night, when they have almost given up hope, they hear a small chirping sound. . . it is Tunnel’s End, more beautiful than Nib ever dreamed.

This pack of colorful play dough can turn into your child’s creative ideas. They can get inspired from the illustrations of The Subway Mouse or use their own ideas recorded in the Creativity Notebook to make wonderful objects and crafts with this pack of play dough.
