Hello. I hope you’ll welcome this surprise note about buttons, play, wonder, delight, and how you can join the fun.
National Button Day is Wednesday 16 November.
Nich and I (creators of IN A BUTTON) think we should celebrate buttons for more than one day, so… we’re highlighting buttons this entire week, starting TODAY!
Would you like to join the play?
We invite you to find your buttons, gather your friends (children, students, neighbors), and let yourself be prompted to explore buttons each day this week.
We’ll share a daily play prompt on our Instagram Stories (@noticingmatters | @nich_sees).
If you don’t use Instagram, no worries. I’ve made a pdf of all of the prompts we’ll share (and included five extra prompts, too). You may download, print, cut apart, or use in a way that best suits you. Feel free to share this post (and the pdf) with others.
Each prompt is designed for all ages, for any length of play time (5 minutes or many hours), and invites a creative opening for slow, mindful, curious, and imaginative exploration.
If you choose to play along this week, we’d love for you to share your ways of play with others in community.
If you’re on Instagram, please tag your photos/reels: #inabutton
If you aren’t on IG, you may email me anything you wish to share: melissa@melissaabutler.com
and you are always welcome to share here with this community in the comments (below).
Sending love towards a beautiful week of buttons, delight, wonder, and awe.
May you rejoice in the infinity (of you) that can always be found in a button.
Happy buttoning!
love+light, Melissa
Rolling into Button Play Week…
