The Three-Shape Creature

Turn a few simple shapes into an invented character.

Make & imagine · Original writing

Draw a circle, a rectangle, and a triangle anywhere on your page. They do not need to be neat.

Look at the shapes together. Could the circle be an eye, a wheel, or a home? Add lines until you can see an invented creature. Give it a kind thing it likes doing.

Now draw the same three shapes in a different arrangement. Make a second creature with a different job.

Write one sentence about how the two might help each other. There is no correct creature to discover. The interesting part is seeing how the same small beginning can become two different ideas.

Pause & wonder

What changed when you moved the shapes?
