      Mine too. I’m finding there’s not a lot of tutorials out there. The ones that are there are so far away from the computer screen and so fast, they are hard to follow. I’m terrified of starting.

    Love the flash light idea! You could make a different character for each kid and they could tell stories on the wall!
