Pip's Play Cards

Stretch your arms up, up, up to the stars.
Now let them float down, slow as a feather.
Do it three times. Then snuggle in.

You are Papa. Your grown‑up is Pip, tucked up in bed.
Ask softly, "Can you find one good thing from today?"
Say, "Mmm. That's a good one."

Your grown‑up hides three paper stars.
Tiptoe, tiptoe... quiet as a mouse.
Find one? Whisper one good thing.

Cup your hands like a jar.
Say, "One good thing today was..."
Pop a pretend light in. Your grown‑up adds one, too.

Hug a teddy. Sway slowly, side to side.
One sway for each good thing you found.
Then be still, like a sleepy bird.

Teddy had a stormy day. Say what Papa said:
"That sounds like a hard day."
Then help Teddy hunt for one good thing.
