✏️ Pencil or pen for writing
⏱️ Time Needed: About 10–20 minutes per prompt (depending on your child’s writing pace)

How to Use:
- Print the Think & Write pages and choose a prompt that sparks curiosity.
- Read it aloud and brainstorm together.
- Encourage your child to write freely, focusing on ideas rather than perfect spelling or punctuation for this activity.
