Have you ever spent hours planning an activity that lasted minutes? 🤔
We've all been there—researching, prepping, and organizing everything...
just knowing this will be the most amazing activity ever!
Here's the truth...
The most magical moments often come from simply following a child's lead. ✨
Because creativity isn't usually about perfect plans but about giving space for imagination to flourish
Here's a simple strategy you can try today:
Set up an open invitation to create, then step back and let curiosity be the guide.
What's an Invitation to Create?
It's a thoughtfully arranged setup of materials that invites children to explore, experiment, and express themselves freely. No instructions are required—just pure creative possibility.
Each project is designed to spark creativity while encouraging independent thinking.
Keep this in mind...
Sometimes, the best plan is having no plan at all!
Creatively yours,
