Our assignment: Collect 10 tiny objects that can all fit in the palm of your hand
Everyone laid out their 10 objects, but rather than work with your own, everyone was instructed to pass their objects to the person on the right. I received 10 tiny, random objects from my neighbor John. From there, I was to write a play with the objects representing people, props, or whatever I see fit.
Storytelling is essential to keeping the creative spirit alive. Anything hands-on is a thousand times more engaging than a simple piece of paper and pencil. So much fun!

a stamp, a nut, a leaf, a piece of blue string, a pink flower, a piece of candy, a q-tip, a can top, a bottle top, and a packet of sugar from Starbucks
This required some serious brain stretching! After a few moments of contemplation, my story began. Mozart and Nutty were going to embark on a great journey across the sea in their leaf boat to find inspiration and love. They would encounter a storm at sea, a magical fairy that would guide them, and would eventually find Caffeina, a beautiful queen, that would restore Mozart's musical spark.
