What the Kids Are Up To... Branding

If you are following
"What the Kids Are Up To This Summer"

then you've already read...



after which the children were so anxious/excited to get their business started,
they grabbed their bracelets and pleaded to go outside to sell to the neighbors

But instead of the green light

I reminded them that this is a business
and introduced yet another important lesson...
----------------------------------------------

SESSION 2

The focus:
Business Branding

The lesson:
The importance of branding a business to build success

A look at branding as the way a business is presented to the world,
which includes, but is not limited to...

company logo
slogan
tagline
packaging
marketing materials


The assignment:
Plan out their

-business design
-establish a brand
-create a brand identity

So I asked them to...

Design a Logo
Create a Slogan
Streamline their Packaging

and

Create a dream board 

(as a visual representation of
what they wanted their brand to say)

---------------------------------

 Then a quick look around our home
led us to find items we could...
re-use
repurpose
turn into something else


 And with some tape, a few sheets of paper,
and a 1/4 can of leftover spray paint...


our repurposed chocolate box and paper towel
holders became their new bracelet display case!

Color*full Creations
creating a life full of color
What the kids are up to next...

and a field trip!
