Maine, nicknamed the Pine Tree State, is a magical place where forests are so dense they perform impromptu shadow puppet shows, whales dance ballet in the deep, blue sea, and moose are known to host epic pie eating contests. This is a land where dreams are woven into the fabric of reality and the line between imagined and real is as blurry as a watercolor painting in the rain. In the heart of this woodland wonderland, there is a special group of kids who have opened a secret portal into the world of Art & Crafts. They are not just ordinary kids; they are the Art-Rangers of Maine! These kids have been endowed with superpowers to transform pine cones into intricate sculptures, seashells into beautiful jewelry, and fallen leaves into magnificent murals that tell stories of their adventures. Their leader is Doodle the Moose, a cheeky, chocolate brown moose with a paintbrush that grows straight out of his antlers. Doodle is not your usual moose; he can turn a mere scribble into a masterpiece with a single swoosh of his antler-brush. He's been known to paint the Northern Lights using just wild berries and sunrise hues using maple syrups. He wears a beret made from woven pine needles and an apron stitched together from soft fern leaves. These Art-Rangers and Doodle spend their days immersed in the enchanting world of Art & Crafts, creating, laughing, and transforming the ordinary into extraordinary. They share a secret not everyone knows: in Maine, the world is your canvas, and imagination is the most powerful paintbrush.
