Come on in & have a bite... A CREATIVE BITE!
Here I'll share with you doses of creativity-fun little jolts of inspiration that you can try at home!
This will be a collection of my own unique projects as well as ideas that I've found in books, magazines, and that vast universe known as the internet!
Here we go!
Today's Creative Bite: Found Tools
Source: How to Be an Explorer of the World
by Keri Smith
What to Do: Experiment with found writing utensils!
My results: I used two different kinds of writing utensils: A Sharpie calligraphy pen & a charcoal pencil.

Source: Rini
What to Do: Take a day...an hour...or even a few minutes to share your creative passion with someone else!
My results: Today was my first day as a volunteer writing coach in Berkeley. I met a cheerful, friendly eighth grade girl who has an exceptional ability to analyze and critique literature. I also came across other enthusiastic and caring adults (many of them women) who want to help kids be better readers and writers.
