Pause and wonder
Watch together. When Mr. Richie asks a question, leave a real beat for your child to answer, point, or simply think.
FOR GROWN-UPS
They think they’re making art.
Along the way, they’re choosing, problem-solving, and trying again. Every adventure makes room for different ideas—and different artworks.

MAKE THE SCREEN A STARTING POINT
Three small ways to join in.
Follow their choice
Offer materials you have, then let your child choose the colors, shapes, and next move. Their artwork does not need to match the screen.
Notice the change
Ask what surprised them or what they might try next. A new idea matters more than a tidy result.
Ready to make?
Choose a project together, gather what you have, and let your child decide how it takes shape. You can also join with questions when supplies are not handy.
