The Flying Grapes

One day Lulu was eating some soup. She was also eating some grapes. Then she put her spoon on the table. And one of the grapes rolled onto the top end of the spoon handle. Lulu held the bowl to her mouth to finish the last of the soup. When she put her bowl down, it banged onto the spoon scoop. When that happened, the handle of the spoon bounced up. And the grape that was on the end of the spoon handle went flying up through the air, and landed on the table.  Lulu saw that and laughed. She wondered if she could do it again. She moved the bowl aside. Then she put another grape on the end of the spoon. And she used her hand to quickly push down on the spoon scoop. Again the grape flew up and then fell onto the table. Then Lulu moved the spoon directly in front of her. The spoon scoop was pointing towards her, and the spoon handle was pointing away.  She wanted to see if she could catch the flying grape in her mouth. She put a grape on the end of the spoon handle. And she quickly pushed d

Bunny Makes A Clever Costume

One day Bunny and Zebra were going for a walk. While they were walking, Bunny saw a bush that had a lot of leaves falling off it. Bunny had an idea to do something funny, and asked Zebra to help. Bunny told her that he needed to collect all the leaves. Zebra and Bunny went back to his place to get some empty bags.  Then they came back and collected a bunch of leaves until the bags were full. Then Zebra and Bunny brought the bags full of leaves back to his place. When they got there, Zebra asked what Bunny wanted to do with all the leaves. Bunny told her that he wanted to glue all the leaves to some old clothes. Then he would have a costume made of leaves, and he could hide next to the bush.  And when their friend Tiger will walk by, Bunny will jump out and surprise Tiger. Zebra thought that sounded funny. Bunny took out an old shirt, some old pants, an old hat, and some old shoes. Then Bunny took out some glue. Zebra helped glue the leaves. Bunny glued some leaves all over the shirt an

Lulu And The Wooden Tray

One day Lulu was at home reading. While she was reading the phone rang. It was her friend Jimmy. He called her to see if she wanted to come over and play. Lulu said that sounded nice. Lulu got ready to go and put on her shoes. Then she got her bicycle out and rode to Jimmy's place. When she arrived there, she knocked on the door.  Jimmy let her in, and he said he had some new blocks they could play with. Lulu asked where his old blocks were. Jimmy took those out to show her. A lot of his old blocks had cracks in them and some were starting to break. Lulu asked if they could glue some of his old blocks together and build something. Jimmy said that would be fine.  They wondered what they would make. Then Lulu had an idea. She said they should take a bunch of old blocks and put them together to make a big square. Then they glued those together. Next they took some more blocks and put those on the edges of the square and glued that to make a small wall around the square.  Now they had

The Lost Socks

One day Tiger was walking through the neighborhood. Tiger walked by the laundromat and saw something inside it. There was a huge pile of socks on a table. Tiger went inside the laundromat and asked the worker why there were so many socks there. The laundromat worker said that those were all the socks that had gotten lost in the dryers that others had never found.  Tiger had an idea and asked if he could take all the socks. The laundromat worker said yes. Tiger ran home and got a cart. Then he brought the cart back to the laundromat. Tiger put all the mismatched socks into the cart. At the same time Zebra was walking by and saw Tiger. She stopped and asked Tiger what he was doing. Tiger said he had an idea of what to do with all the lost socks.  He told Zebra that they could get some balloons and tie a sock to each balloon. Then they could walk around the neighborhood with the balloons and see if any of their neighbors recognized the missing socks. Zebra thought that was a good idea and

The Colorful Rocks

Lulu was drawing a picture to give her friend Jimmy. He had done something nice for her, and now she wanted to do something nice for him. It was a drawing of Jimmy and his parents. Lulu wanted to make a nice frame for the drawing. She took a large square piece of cardboard, and she glued the drawing onto the cardboard.  Then she wanted to make the edges of the cardboard around the drawing look nice. She thought that she would glue some small rocks onto the cardboard edges at the top, bottom, left, and right. She put the cardboard with the drawing into her backpack, with some other things. Lulu took out her bicycle and got ready to go.  Then she rode to the park to look for some small rocks. She found a pile of small rocks near the pond. Lulu took out some glue from her backpack and glued the rocks onto the cardboard. Then she took out some coloring markers and colored the rocks different colors.  Near the top edge of the drawing, she colored the glued rocks blue. Near the bottom edge o

Zebra Goes To The Moon

One day zebra was out on a walk. During her walk she saw something tall and shiny in the distance. It was taller than the trees. Zebra walked towards it to find out what it was. When zebra finally arrived there, she saw something amazing. Tiger was making something big. It was shaped like a long cylinder and had a pointy top, with triangles on the bottom..  Zebra asked Tiger what it was. Tiger said that it was a space rocket. Zebra asked Tiger what it was for. And Tiger said that he was going to use it to go to the moon. Zebra thought that sounded exciting and asked Tiger if she could come along. Tiger said that would be fine, but they would need to make a spacesuit for her.  Tiger said that he also needed help making a fence, to keep others back a safe distance when they launched. Zebra said she could help. Zebra and Tiger went and got some materials, and built a fence around the space rocket. They also wanted to build some seats outside the fence, so that others could watch them go u

Lulu Builds A Ramp

One day Lulu was in the car with her parents. They were driving back home. Lulu looked out the car window and saw some people on bicycles. They were riding up on a ramp, and jumping their bicycles off it and landing on the ground. Lulu thought that looked amazing. And she wanted to try that herself. But this bicycle area was far away from where she lived.  Then Lulu decided that she would make her own bicycle ramp. When Lulu arrived at home she called Sally on the phone. She told Sally her idea, and Sally agreed to come over and help. Lulu asked Sally to bring a shovel. When Sally reached Lulu's home, Lulu was ready with her own shovel in her backpack. The two of them rode their bicycles to the park nearby.  They took the shovels out of their backpacks and went to one end of the field at the park. Then they started to dig. After a while they had dug a small hole. And the dirt that came out of that hole in the ground, they piled in one spot. And that pile of dirt became a ramp, as i

Tiger And The Stretchy Soap

One day Tiger was at the store shopping for some things he needed. He saw a store worker standing by a table with a display. There was something new that was being demonstrated. It was a new soap that made things super stretchy. The store worker used some of the new soap, and cleaned a plate with it. Then the store worker stretched the plate. And the plate stretched and covered the whole table.  Tiger was amazed and wanted to try some himself. He put some of the new soap in his shopping cart. Then Tiger was finished and ready to checkout. He went and stood in line for the cashier. While he was standing in line he saw Zebra standing in front of him. He said hello and Zebra said it was nice to see him there. Zebra asked if Tiger was doing anything after shopping. Tiger said he didn't have plans.  Then Zebra invited Tiger to come over for lunch. Tiger said that would be very nice. Zebra had driven to the store, and said that tiger could ride back with her, since he rode the bus to the
