Pip's Play Cards

Roll up some socks to make a soft ball.
Toss it to your grown‑up. "Bounce... catch!"
How many catches can you do in a row?

Your grown‑up plays a game with a teddy.
You watch first. How does it work?
Then ask, "Can I play too?"

Your grown‑up does a move three times: clap, hop or spin.
Watch first. Then say, "I get it!"
Now join in and do it too.

Ask your grown‑up, "Can I play too?"
They say, "Not right now."
You say, "Okay. I'll find something else."

Your grown‑up says, "Not right now!"
Hop off and find something else to play before they count to ten.
Show them what you found!

You are busy building. A teddy asks, "Can I play too?"
Say, "Sure! You stand there."
Or say kindly, "Not right now."
