Imagination Flowchart
For those people lacking inspiration, here's a formulaic way to use your imagination (if that's possible?). As a mathematician, I love a good flowchart. Doesn't quite beat a lovely Venn Diagram but then what does?
1. Find an object
2. Ask yourself if you can:
Make a noise with it
Hide it
Throw it
Act with it
Pretend it's a character
Draw with it
Make art with it
Colour it in
Make it smaller/bigger
Break it
Build with it
Cook with it
Pretend it's magic
Write a story about it
Learn more about it
Take photos of it
Nurture it
3. Do it.
It's quite simple, really. I'm sure there are many more things/stories you could contrive but I don't want to take that opportunity away from you.
Here's how we had some fun with some boxes. By the way, it helps if you or your partner has a mild obsession with Amazon Prime.

Just to clarify, it was Esme's idea to get in the box. She's not a very good hider.
Anyway, stay tuned for more ideas, news and happy booky stuff.
Until next time.
