Some notes about the probes.

Triangle, circle, square

• only one kid added anything else to the page, the rest coloured in the shapes, staying in the lines.

Tell me a story about what you see

• most were really literal
• one kid personified the shapes making them fun and dynamic

Draw three or more shapes

• seem very influenced by what they’ve just seen, mostly drawing circles, squares and triangles

Make a drawing, tell me a story about it

• variation of 3 little pigs story
• repetitive drawing, one that is different
• connection to nature, sense of smell
• combination of commercialized culture with own imagination
• cats, pigs, mice: anthropomorphizing

Photos

• nature, outdoors
• bedrooms, playrooms, clutter: process of playing is messy, not linear
• friends, family, collaborative play
• pets, part of their family
• patterns on the floor
• close ups of toys, figures: army man, polar bear, wall-e, lego
• quilts on beds: 2 spider man, 1 cinderella
