Deep in the heart of the United States, lies the magical state of Missouri, or MO as the locals call it. It's not a realm ruled by dragons or fairies, but by kids with boundless imagination and vibrant paintbrushes. These are the Mischievous Artistic Outliers, the cool kids of MO who breathe life into every corner of the state through their Art & Crafts activities. MO, also known as the Show-Me State, has always been a land of wonders, with its rolling hills, sparkling rivers, and bustling cities filled with music and laughter. But it is in the realm of Art & Crafts where the magic really happens. Children from Kansas City to St. Louis, and all the towns in between, gather to create their own worlds within this world, using nothing more than paper, glue, and their boundless imagination. Watch as little Sally from Springfield creates a fleet of paper boats that she swears can sail the mighty Mississippi. Or young Billy from Branson, who can fashion an entire city from popsicle sticks, complete with a miniature Silver Dollar City! Then there's the delightful Daisy from Dexter, who can weave a magical tale with a single drawing. Our guide through this paradise of paints and pastels is none other than the legendary Cap'n Crayola, a comical, colourful parrot with a beret and an artist's palette. He squawks laughter and showers kids with ideas for their next masterpiece. So, welcome to the magical, merry state of MO, where every child is an artist, every day is a canvas, and Cap'n Crayola flies through the sky, squawking, "Show-Me what you can create!".
