Chapter 02 Shape the play tray 03 / 12

A little room to make

Make every idea tactile

Start with the squish

A soft first step turns an empty tray into an invitation to make.

Roll

Color does the talking

Color

Mark

Keep joy in the frame

Rounded rhythm and generous space leave every idea somewhere to land.
