What is the Idea Emporium?

It's an imaginary mall...

The Idea Emporium is an imaginary mall with its entrance situated behind a few large oak trees that most do not find. It's a place for crazy ideas and goods to be sold to the non-human customers of the world. There are several departments including the Toy, Fashion, Nursery, Bakery, and the Invention Room, all run by magical creatures. Lady Hop Hop runs the front desk. In the Idea Emporium, Design Thinking and Design Elements helps with creative thinking and problem-solving.

The Plant Nursery

The Nursery is run by Emmie 1 and Emmie 2, the two-headed basset hound. In the Nursery students learn about how to express through LINE.

The Bakery

Marjorie Fairy and Reg the Crow run the magical bakery. In the Bakery students learn about Color and Value and stretching their ideas further.

The Fashion Department

Clarice the Giraffe runs the Fashion Department. Here students learn about Shape and Form, and how to work within limits and still be creative.

The Toy Department

Ipsy Dipsy runs the Toy Department. Here students learn about Space and Perspective, and how to see things with new eyes, which, incidentally, are available in Aisle Four.

The Invention Room

The Invention Room is where students learn about experimenting and play vs. fear of mistakes. Many an invention has been created here including monsters grown in jars. Zozo is the boss here.
