Good morning! Imagine this: a world where the simplest things can become the grandest adventures. That's the world our kids live in! Take the humble cardboard box, for example. It's not just packaging; it's a pirate ship, a rocket, a castle. It's a reminder that creativity doesn't need a price tag.

"The creative adult is the child who survived." - Ursula K. Le Guin.
