Take a simple nursery rhyme and learn the melody really well.Now approach each of the notes in the melody from one step up or down .i.e if a note is C then play B to C or C# to C.Try this with melodies you learn.The approach notes can be played on weak beats and the actual notes on strong ones. You can reverse this to create countless licks.You will see how that great adage 'nothing is really wrong' is true and depends just on how you do it.Academics call this targetting,in a nutshell its just about getting to a note via pathways close by.Do try this over the New Year and expand your vocabulary.Wish you the best and crack this fun exercise.
