Crowning Creativity
Why play this way?
This activity invites your little one to explore what makes them feel exceptional—just like the animals in the story who create their own special adornments. As they craft something unique, they’ll engage in imaginative thinking, self-expression, and creative problem-solving. Plus, it’s a wonderfully silly way to celebrate individuality and the joy of making something uniquely their own!
