Makers Of Moments

Tiny Tots

Story Squiggles: For little ones aged 0-3, give them crayons and let them scribble freely on paper. Tell them a story as they draw, creating a connection between your words and their doodles, just like Willow weaves narratives in her comics.

Character Cuddles: Using soft toys or dolls, act out simple stories for your toddler. Give each toy a personality and powers, encouraging imaginative play inspired by Willow's captivating characters.

Junior Storytellers

Create Your Comic: Invite children up to age 7 to create their own comic strip. Provide them with paper and markers to draw their heroes and craft a short adventure story.

Heroic Values Collage: Together with your child, cut out pictures from magazines or print images that represent heroic qualities like bravery, kindness, or helping others. Make a collage that celebrates these values as seen in Wilson's characters and discuss how we can be everyday heroes in our own lives.
