Toffee & Zip · Episode 1 · about 6 min · Ages 3–7
The Runaway Orange
It's Orange Bath Day at the warm pond. Zip zooms past too fast and knocks the orange off Toffee's head, and it rolls away. To get it back, the fastest capybara in the world has to learn to go slow.
- Patience
- Noticing
- Siblings
Talk about it together
For grown-ups, after watching.
The lesson: Being fast is fun, and going slow helps you notice things.
- What did Zip miss when she was going so fast?
- What did you notice today when you slowed down?
Try this at home
Five minutes, nothing special needed.
The slow-down walk
Go for a short walk together and move as slowly as a snail. Whisper "Slow down, look around!" and count everything you spot that you would have zoomed past: a bug, a flower, a funny cloud.
Shout along!
Little ones love joining in with these.
- Zip-zip-ZOOM!
- Steady... steady... ta-da!
- It's behind you!
- Slow down, look around!
