THURSDAY — Invent a Creature: Combine three shapes into an imaginary creature. FRIDAY — Move Your Story: Tell a short story with gentle seated or standing gestures, or draw it. SATURDAY — Pattern Play: Arrange large, safe household objects into a repeating pattern. SUNDAY — My Proud Moment: Draw or write about a moment of effort, kindness, or trying again.
