Lunch

A ravenous little mouse sits down to lunch and can't stop eating, working his way through a crisp white turnip, orange carrots, yellow corn, and green peas until his belly is bulging.

For the toddler who announces every bite and every color on the plate, this one turns lunchtime into the whole show.

• Big idea: Eating with your whole heart is something to celebrate, not tidy up after.
• Vibes: Bright, messy, and gleefully hungry.

• love naming colors out loud
• enjoy guessing what comes next
• are working on trying new foods
• respond well to simple, repeating patterns

• Story & problem-solving: What foods did Mouse eat first, and what came after that?
• Imagination: If you were as hungry as Mouse, what would you eat first on your plate?
• Real-life connection: What's your favorite color of food to eat at lunch?
• Feelings & empathy: How do you think Mouse's belly felt after eating so much?
