A grown-up can cut along the card borders. Choose a dragon, explorer, rabbit, robot, hero or bear. Give your character a name and a wish. The picture does not decide their personality: a dragon could be shy, and a small rabbit could be brave.
An adult helps cut character cards. Keep small paper scraps away from younger children. You can draw, type or ask a grown-up to write your words.
Use a finger, stylus or mouse in each drawing box. Type below it, or ask a grown-up to write your words. Your work stays in this tab. Save before refreshing or leaving.
