The Drawing Contest
(All ages)
Draw YOUR star in YOUR favorite place on Earth.
Then, it can act as a "travel magnet" for you and your family when this whole Covid thing is behind us.
For example, real-life-Theo (yes, he lives in Montclair) knows his star is patiently waiting for him on this warm California beach!
It can be a drawing, a collage, a photo montage, a painting, a playdoh design, whatever you feel like!
The Writing Contest
(8 to 12yo)
If you coud have one wish, what would it be?
And what could YOUR star do to help you make that dream come true? Tell us that story!
EXAMPLE:
In the film, Theo's dream is to find a cat. From his seat in outer space, Theo's Star sees a cat lost in the forest. All he needs to do is bring Theo to that exact location.
Here's how he does it:
STAR'S ACTION: He snaps something in a car engine.
➡️ CONSEQUENCE: It creates a traffic jam on the highway
➡️➡️ CONSEQUENCE: Theo has to take another road (one that leads to the forest!)
STAR'S ACTION: He pokes Theo's belly in the car.
➡️ CONSEQUENCE: Theo needs to go pee.
➡️➡️ CONSEQUENCE: Theo pulls over at the edge of the forest (so close to the cat!!)
STAR'S ACTION: He shushes the birds.
➡️ CONSEQUENCE: The forest gets quiet.
➡️➡️ CONSEQUENCE: Theo can now hear the cat meow and finds him hiding under a bush. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
