Being creative you can do in many ways. 30 years ago my boy became 10. And as I did not want to keep up with the Joneses, I desided to take the kids on a trip on public transport. In the early nineties it was still affordable. By bus to the next village, crossed the river by ferry to the next town and back by train. Allong the way they could fill a small bag of candy. Scooping it in but no more than 100 grams. That was something new in that time. Also new was public transport. Only one boy had been on a bus before, but that was because his dad was a busdriver. No-one had ever been on a train. I was flabbergasted. So they had the day of their lives. Years later I would run into one of these kids and they would still mention it. Well if you want to do it now, you better start saving for over 2 years. Children are easy to please, do something they don't know.
I couldn't love this more! Hilarious that you and I have been corresponding in chat but I have no idea what you look like - until today. You will forever by my wild forest climate cartoonist friend, and I couldn't think of anything better! You also reminded me of an epic Hunger Games party we did for my eldest around the same age - a grand wild adventure across the farm. I talked with her this morning about it - she can't remember any of the details just that it was the coolest. She is studying human bio at uni now and says that doesn't surprise her - that when you are crazy excited apparently it interrupts memory formation! I also love your message - Dare to do less - the race to the top or bottom is never a good plan!
Haha! Well, I don't look exactly like that :D But I love to live in your mind as 'wild forest climate cartoonist friend'. There's no better title I could think of. :D
How interesting that your mind doesn't remember the details when you're full of excitement. But she can remember the feeling though! Sounds like an awesome party!
There is a group I sometimes volunteer that teaches kids about science and tech (STEM) and one of the organizers had a neat wheeled robot that drew doodles you loaded from the computer.
He said “Ill show them how to make doodles with ai (artificial impostor) and load them into the bot”
And he saw the look on my face and asked “what?”
So I kindly showed him the magic and wonder of making a doodle with your pen, taking a picture, plugging the cables and loading it. Its about interacting just like your trip to the forest.
So yeah its about helping each others make a better world for them and helping them discover it so Congrats!
I'm so glad you showed them to do a handmade doodle. It's so sad when people assume kids can't do that! That's how they loose their faith in their own ability to tell stories through pictures. And it's so much more fund to see the bot churn out your own drawing, I would think!

Oh I love that! It's like the little tram in a themepark, but way more adventurous!

Exactly! Just like controlling the Mars Rover and so
