Join our free Creative Product Design Bootcamp to design the most lovable characters, make prototypes, express emotions, and remix ideas into personalized Valentine’s Day postcards.

DESCRIPTION: For kids who dare to express their love and get their designs published as personalized postcards!

Over the span of one week, we’ll send you one free creative challenge a day to help you learn character design, kawaii drawing techniques, and ways to express your love and emotions. Design the cutest monsters (or aliens, fairies, puppies, dragons, gnomes, turtles, kittens…) that you can’t help but fall in love with! You’ll even have the option to add written messages and gifts to your postcards.

We’ll then remix your ideas, designs, and submissions into personalized Valentine’s Day postcards that you can share with, family, friends, classmates, and loved ones!
