👀 spy with my little 👁.... some geometric shapes hidden in the real world. Wherever you are, shapes are everywhere! What can you spot when you look out of the window? Draw the shapes you see, remix them into something new. What can you create?fal.cn/3jKq0

The redesign of @GNM_Hancock permanent under 5s ‘Mouse House’ is the largest creative project I’ve been involved with. Surreal to see text once scribbled in my notebook displayed on the walls. Now reopen to the public, I hope under 5s approve of the makeover & enjoy exploring!
