## Prompt

```text
Create a whimsical 3:4 editorial-style illustration of a five-year-old child sitting at a warm craft table, proudly creating a handmade Play-Doh version of {city}. The entire miniature world should clearly feel sculpted by a real child using colorful modeling clay, soft rounded edges, uneven shapes, tiny fingerprints, squishy textures, crooked little buildings, playful proportions, and charming imperfections throughout.

The clay city should be packed with delightful tiny details: recognizable landmarks, rivers, bridges, cafés, food carts, parks, trains, buses, apartment buildings, trees, street scenes, market stalls, miniature clay people, clouds, and cozy neighborhood moments. Everything should feel imaginative, dense, lively, and lovingly handmade rather than professionally modeled.

The child should look natural and believable, wearing simple everyday clothes with a joyful, curious expression while interacting with the miniature city. Avoid costume-like outfits or exaggerated styling.

Art direction: premium children’s magazine illustration, handcrafted claymation-inspired aesthetic, cozy Scandinavian editorial atmosphere, miniature diorama photography feel, emotionally warm storytelling, highly detailed but soft and playful.

Lighting should feel bright, airy, and naturally diffused with soft indoor daylight, clean whites, fresh pastel Play-Doh colors, subtle cool-neutral tones, gentle highlights, and luminous soft shadows.

No logos, fake text, AI artifacts, hyper-detailed realism, or sterile perfection.

Bottom-right corner: add a small handwritten white crayon sentence:
“Let’s play in {city_name}”
The handwriting should feel cute, childlike, uneven, and naturally imperfect.
```
