All scenes are invented. A physical stand-in is a real object; a drawing or screen picture is not. No colour, sound, speech, role enactment, fine grip, device or home printing is needed. An adult reads neutrally and moves pieces as the child directs. These public check alternatives give sources but not solved choices. A paper plan can evidence devising; actual performance, real-work encounter and willing-audience sharing need separate observation.
A · Now and later
Files: print/now-later.svg and print/now-later.pdf.
Exact depicted content: Two invented archive scene panels show the same figure A and square card: NOW at desk; LATER at shelf.

Tactile route: Use two raised large mats. Keep the same broad A/card pieces; replace desk edge with shelf edge and give LATER a distinct tactile word tag.
No-print route: Draw two large frames on reused paper; write NOW / LATER and place one broad figure/shape in both with desk then shelf words.
