This activity can be adapted to different levels depending on the students’ familiarity with objects and their ability to use them creatively.

• Beginner learners (6-7 years old): Simple picture prompts. One idea per rotation. Scaffolded questions (“What could this become?”)
• Advanced learners (8-9 years old): Abstract prompts (emotions, materials, functions). 2–3 creative explanations needed. Stronger emphasis on storytelling.
• Expert learners (9-10 years old): Purpose-driven mash-ups (solve a societal or environmental problem). Complex reasoning behind connections. Present creations to the whole class with detailed justification
