Making a Special Space
Episode # 130. Shed
In a very large square box, the children give the Storypeople a shed. Brother & Sister play inside. Mr. Man wants to see what is inside, too, but every time he tries to open the door, the shed moves away! Then the children give Mr. Man a delicious cake. Now every time he moves, the shed moves with him. Brother & Sister invite Mr. Man - and his cake - inside.

Directions
Mr. Man, Brother & Sister play in the shed. Together with your child, make your own special play space. If you have the resources, you might build your own shed or playhouse. But a special space can be anyplace closed off from outside eyes. It can be permanent, like a transformed closet, or temporary, like a couple of sheets strung across the backs of a set of chairs or draped over a table. Let your child decide how to build the space and what adventures happen inside.

Talk About It
While viewing the Shed episode, you might start a conversation by asking your child:

As you talk about the things on screen, you can help expand your child's vocabulary by alternating the words you use with their synonyms. In the Shed episode you might describe Mrs. Lady's instrument as a flute or a pipe.
