Zip's Super-Fast Surprise
It's Toffee's birthday and he's napping under the orange tree, so Zip decides to bake him a surprise cake: a super-fast one. She skips every step of Miss Snail's recipe and makes a giant sticky mess. Then she learns the secret: a big job goes best one step at a time. But was Toffee really asleep?
- Following steps
- Patience
- Kindness
Talk about it together
For grown-ups, after watching.
The lesson: When you have a big job, do it one step at a time and in order. Waiting is a step too.
- What happened when Zip rushed and skipped all the steps?
- What do you do one step at a time, like getting dressed or brushing your teeth?
Try this at home
Five minutes, nothing special needed.
One step at a time
Make a simple snack together, like a fruit plate or a sandwich. Say each step out loud and count it on your fingers: one, two, three! Then wait a moment before eating, because waiting is a step too.
Shout along!
Little ones love joining in with these.
- He's peeking!
