# Ten tiny optional home ideas

Pick one only if it suits today. A few minutes, scrap paper, ordinary conversation or pointing are enough. No purchase, printing, device, photograph, returned homework or family disclosure is needed. An adult chooses actual available materials and actions; use a broad pretend mark rather than a small loose object. These are invented toy-place ideas, not real building advice. A plan is still a plan if nothing is physically made.

## H01 · Where would a pretend book go?

Use a scrap sheet or talk only. Choose a pretend book spot and one way to show it.

## H02 · An arrival mark

Point to two places on a blank surface where an invented visitor could arrive. Pick one; no real doorstep details.

## H03 · A little looking place

Draw an invented picture and decide where a pretend visitor looks at it. Try a broad paper marker if wanted.

## H04 · A one-part plan

Name a job, a material already available and one first step. A spoken plan counts as a plan; no making needed.

## H05 · Keep or move

Choose a broad part in an own pretend place. Say whether you would keep or move it and why.

## H06 · Ask if they want

If a willing adult wants to answer, ask where they would put a fictional display. Keep their actual words as theirs.

## H07 · Same paper, new job

Turn the idea of a display into a waiting place on the same scrap sheet, or describe the new arrangement.

## H08 · Two views

Show a pretend place from above and from the front with drawings, gesture or words. No accurate scale needed.

## H09 · A different visitor mark

If locally approved, try a different broad marker in an own opening. Note the actual toy-scale result.

## H10 · Tell me your next idea

Talk through a new pretend place: job, two ideas, a choice, next step and what you would keep. No worksheet return.

Stop whenever it stops being useful. Ask what the child would keep, without requiring a “right” design or a happy reaction. [Short start](START-HERE.md) · [Sources and rights](SOURCE-AND-RIGHTS.md). Original © NeuroForgeIO Pty Ltd 2026, [CC BY 4.0](licenses/CC-BY-4.0.txt).
