      <description><![CDATA[Jumping Jack paper dolls have been around for thousands of years, with the earliest versions believed to date back to ancient Egypt. When professional papercrafter Dawn M. Cardona first attempted to create one, her design only jumped, requiring her to manually reset the arms and legs. Instead of fixing the mistake, she embraced it with a laugh and named them &ldquo;Jump for Joy&rdquo; dolls. In this class, Dawn shares her new and improved design, which now performs real jumping jacks&mdash;but the charming name stuck!<br />

      <description><![CDATA[Join Creativebug host Twinkie Chan in this Q&amp;A with artist and educator Constance Moore who teaches this month&rsquo;s daily practice - <a href="https://www.creativebug.com/classseries/single/inspired-by-picture-books-a-daily-practice-of-creative-prompts">Inspired By Picture Books: A Daily Practice of Creative Prompts</a>. Coming live from her elementary school classroom where she teaches, Constance guides participants through the creation of a collaborative poem, plus two art prompts. <em>This conversation was filmed live April 28, 2024.</em><br />
<br />
<b>The collaborative poem written during the live event:</b><br />
<em>My shade of brown strong black tea and a big bloop of vanilla creamer<br />
The color of my kitchen walls<br />
My beautiful shade of love is yellow which is bright &amp; cheery like the sun<br />
Mine is honey miso, salty and sweet<br />
Cream with red strawberries<br />
I am a latte - espresso and milk with plenty of sugar!<br />
Recently my shade of love is gray - heart going out to those of us getting older<br />
The rosy cheek colour of babies after a sleep<br />
Love is pink&hellip;it doesn&rsquo;t stink<br />
My paintbrush is full of Toasted white sugar<br />
Creamy peach latte with maple syrup<br />
Brown and white striped like a Barred Owl<br />
Peach/watermelon vanilla milkshake<br />
Pink and purple and teal and blue, all of these remind me of you</em>]]></description>
