Getting a child inspired

if you don't have any packs, in my experience the easiest is to have one of the parents "encourage" them. It'll be on the social when when you click on them while drawing, and they'll stay inspired the whole time they're drawing, so you don't have to worry about inspiration running out. Other than that, yeah, thoughtful shower, cloud/star gazing if you have Outdoor Retreat and some career rewards, like for painter and writer, have inspiring auras. If you have Get Together you could form a club at set an inspired vibe. Oh! Also postcards! If you use the computer to "find a penpal", then later you can ask them for a postcard. That'll have an inspiring aura as well. But I usually just use the encourage thing.
