Idea Jar, The

A teacher’s idea jar takes on a life of its own when the characters demand to be let out. A Viking, a robot, a cowgirl, and a dragon join forces with adjectives such as rowdy, bored, and giant as they spill out and become part of a simple story that makes the characters happy and brings creativity and joy to the classroom. The simple text and colourful, exciting illustrations and speech bubbles will appeal to primary students and help inspire the creative process. Useful to launch discussion of creativity, imagination, brainstorming, stories, and a growth mindset, and spark an array of creative writing, art, and drama opportunities.
