Day 8 Alternative Uses

Day 7
“Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way.” Edward de Bono

  1. Look around you.
  2. Choose an object in your range.
  3. List as many possible uses you can for that object. Unusual things….

For example: a book can be used as an umbrella, a hat, a doorstop, a pedestal, a weapon, a tray, etc, etc.

Extra points if you share a photo with the object doing the “unusual” thing.
