The Creative Doodle Book is a creative methodology that uses open, playful tasks. It supports support creative thinking in an inclusive and accessible manner.

The Creative Doodle Book was originally developed by Matthew Reason in collaboration with Mind the Gap to support inclusive socially distanced community arts practice during the Covid-19 pandemic.

For I'm Me we worked with learning disabled artists at Mind the Gap to develop Creative Doodle Books focuses on each of our themes of identity, representation and voice. These were then used by our partner organisation to structure workshops, creative explorations and art investigating these themes.
