Suzy Ultman has been creating toys and books for friends and family since childhood. She is an illustrator, product designer, toy creator, and bookmaker of sophisticated and simple objects that inspire and delight young and old alike. Make Time for Play is the main philosophy behind everything that she does as an artist. Suzy's signature products celebrate play, creativity, connection, and community in the world around us.

Artists of all ages: gather your empty cereal and cracker boxes and get ready for a joyful month of sketching, painting, and play with illustrator, toy maker, and storyteller Suzy Ultman. In this daily practice, you'll turn cardboard from food packaging into a cute and colorful set of painted alphabet letters. Each day, you'll create a new letter, starting with cutting out your shapes using Suzy's PDF templates. If you prefer not to cut cardboard, you can also use the templates as coloring pages. Suzy will guide you through painting specific designs for each letter, but she'll also talk about different ways to imagine your own letters and make them unique. The most important tool here is your imagination, and you can also work with craft paint, paint pens, markers, colored pencils, pom poms, googly eyes, and all your favorite materials. Use your finished letters as flash cards, personalized tags for gifts, banners that spell words or names, and so much more.
