Last year my husband was rereading The Lord of the Rings to our three boys and we went on a nature hike. My boys saw a downed tree and they decided that it was the Bridge of Khazad-dum. Gandalf was fighting the Balrog right there. When I asked them to make an entry into their notebooks, I told them they could draw what they saw with their eyes on one side of the page and what their imagination saw on the other side. I knew Gandalf was going to show up either way, so I gave them an outlet.

"...draw what they saw with their eyes on one side of the page and what their imagination saw on the other side."

"A good storyteller can transform the ordinary things of our everyday worlds into doors, showing us the same old stuff in a new light we never would have seen otherwise."

Good stuff, Kristen!
