Just like Catherine, I'm new here! Hi everyone and meet my plush pal Hugh aka my son. I think this is an accurate representation of his inner demon; normally unleashed around 6pm each evening. The design is made complete with his two favourite things Football & Tractors (well for this week anyway).

Really enjoying using these activities as lesson starters, especially for those over energetic kids straight after lunch.

I am new to the forum and I love seeing everyone's brilliant ideas! I've already shared my recent (and first!) ACE Innovator event experience (see the link below) – my biggest takeaway was definitely seeing how easy it is to bring fun, collaborative design (even card games featuring my dogs! 🐾) into learning using Adobe Express.

I had WAY TOO MUCH fun creating my plush toy. It's like a digital Build-A-Bear, but with unlimited options 🤣. BTW: The simplicity of this template makes it ideal for playing around with brands and themes to see the impact!

Yeahhhhhh you did! She's a queen, she's a STAR! Also love your note about the design transfer for brands and themes. They really are extra dynamic in this project.

My grade 6 students really enjoyed creating their Plush Pals for the November Monthly Challenge. Adobe Express allows my students to explore their creativity in unique ways. I hope that you will enjoy a sample of their creations.

We always love seeing what you're students are creating and their unique interpretations of the challenges, Tim! Might we be able to share your student samples and give them a shoutout in our livestreams?

Wezi, thank you so much for showcasing a sample of my student's work during the Livestream. My students enjoyed seeing their work being displayed. Actually, you encouraged them to contribute more of their creativity for the November Monthly Challenge.

So fun, Lisa! Since "reading past my bedtime" is a best trait, I'd take Book It's book recs for books you can't put down lol. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!
