Today is a rainy day, and I love the sound of the rain! Do you have a favorite thing about the rain?
My friend Barnaby loves rainbows! They are so colorful and pretty. Elie likes it when the rain stops. And guess what? I love jumping in puddles! Splashing in puddles is so much fun!
Let’s make some rainy day art! We can paint pictures of rainbows, puddles, and even the rain itself. What will you paint?
We can play games like flying fetch with our friends. It’s a game where we pretend to fly and catch things. It’s so exciting!
When we ask for something, it’s nice to say “please.” It makes everyone feel happy and kind. You can even make it fun by saying “penguin please”!
Let’s build something amazing with blocks! Maybe a castle or a café. Sharing blocks with friends makes building even more fun!
After all that playing, it’s time for a snack. Let’s visit the fruit caboose and pick our favorite fruit. Yum!
It’s okay to have the same favorite thing as someone else. We can be puddle pals and splash together!
Sometimes our pets want to play, and sometimes they need a rest. We can play with them when they’re ready!
Let’s pretend to be heroes and rescue acorns! It’s a fun adventure with our friends Twiggy and Tara.
If something breaks, like Twiggy, we can find new things to play with. It’s always fun to discover new adventures!
Remember, rainy days can be full of fun and creativity. Enjoy the rain and all the exciting things we can do together!
Puddle Jumping Experiment: Next time it rains, put on your rain boots and go outside with an adult. Find a puddle and jump in it! Notice how the water splashes and makes ripples. Can you count how many jumps it takes to make a big splash? Try jumping with a friend and see if you can make an even bigger splash together!
Rainbow Hunt: After the rain stops, go on a rainbow hunt! Look up in the sky and see if you can find a rainbow. If you can’t find one, create your own rainbow using a glass of water and a flashlight. Shine the flashlight through the glass and watch as the light bends and makes a rainbow on the wall. Can you name all the colors you see?
Kind Words Game: Practice using kind words with your friends and family. Play a game where you take turns asking for things using “please” and “thank you.” You can make it fun by adding a silly word, like “penguin please,” just like in the article. Notice how using kind words makes everyone feel happy and helps you get along better with others.

Today is a rainy day, very rainy! I love the rain. It sounds like this.
Does anybody have a favorite thing about the rain?
I do! What’s your favorite thing, Barnaby?
Rainbows!
Oh yes, I love rainbows too! What about you, Elie? Do you have a favorite thing about the rain?
When it stops!
My favorite thing about the rain is puddles.
That’s my favorite too!
No, puddles are my favorite!
I know they’re my favorite too!
They were my favorite first!
You have to pick something else, Lou.
I don’t want to pick something else!
We can’t have the same favorite!
We can have the same favorite, Dean!
No, everybody has to have a different favorite, so pick something else!
Okay, bugs! Who’s up for some art time?
Splish splash!
Splashing in puddles was my favorite first!
Okay, bugs, how about you paint rainy day pictures?
Lou, you’re painting puddles!
I told you, puddles are my favorite!
You need to paint something else!
Puddles are my favorite too!
Yes, she wants a tummy rub.
I wanted to give you a tummy rub!
Oh, she won’t play with me.
Maybe instead of playing, she wants her wings tickled.
I want to tickle your wings!
What are you doing?
She’s having a scratch!
I wanted to tickle her wings!
We could try flying fetch!
What’s flying fetch?
I’ll show you, Dots! Come here! Want to play flying fetch?
Woohoo! I want to try it now!
What? You didn’t say “please” when you asked for the tomato train!
I didn’t!
And I didn’t like it!
You have to say “please” now!
I don’t have to!
Everyone else said it!
Barnaby said “please,” and El and BBA said it too!
See? So I don’t have to say things I don’t want to!
It’s the most important part of the game, so you do have to say it!
Say “please”!
No!
Say “please” if you want the tomato train!
Never!
Well, you’re never coming to my shop ever again!
Fine!
I still really want the tomato train!
Then I want you to say “please” because to me it sounds kind and feels happy!
Oh, okay!
Well, what if I choose my own kind of word like “pickle” or “penguin”?
I’m a penguin!
Let’s play catch flies!
Buzz, buzz!
Ready for takeoff?
Who’s going to catch me?
Me!
Try to catch me, Bieber!
Look, I’m a bee!
I’ll catch you!
It’s tricky!
How about we push each other like this?
Yay!
Carry on pushing me now, and I’ll push you after!
Okay, promise?
Yes!
Okay, I’ll push you to the sky and back!
You can’t catch me!
I’m a bouncy fly!
Catchy flies!
Who’s going to swing me now?
Yeah!
I love saying “penguin please”!
I love “penguin please” too!
How about you say that in my shop instead of “please”?
Okay! Welcome to the penguin party shop!
Good morning! I like the tomato train, “penguin please”!
Of course! Thank you!
I thought it would be fun to do some building together!
I love building!
Here they come!
You get building, bugs! I’ll be right here if you need me!
I’m going to make a castle!
I need the blue ones to make the teapot café!
You know, there’s lots of blue blocks actually, so maybe we can share!
It’s nice to share, you know!
I love your castle, Melody! So many colors!
How’s everyone else getting on?
Finished!
Look at all this building you’ve done!
Wow! I’d love to live in such a wonderful place!
I love it, but I love the castle the most!
We all have our favorites!
Now I’m guessing all this building is hungry work! Who’s ready for a snack?
Me too! I could eat!
Let’s visit the fruit caboose!
Yay! Line up!
Oh, I hope there’s a pear today!
All aboard!
Pick your fruit one at a time!
Oh, a pear! I really want the pear!
Don’t pick the pear, please!
Not the pear!
I got the pear!
Oh, I wanted the pear!
Smell it!
Did you see that super splash?
That’s the biggest splash I ever saw!
Oh no, we’re all wet!
I’m splashy splashing in puddles!
Really, is your favorite?
Yep!
How about it’s both of our favorites?
Okay!
And how about we do another super big splash together?
Yay!
Looks like you bugs are having fun splashing in puddles together!
Yeah! We’re going to share favorites now!
I love this!
Me and Lou are puddle pals!
Look, a rainbow!
Wow!
Oh, why won’t Dots play with me?
She can’t tell you; she can’t talk.
She’s a dog fly!
I know!
Well, I don’t like Dots anymore!
Same as you don’t!
I liked Dots; I just don’t want to play with her today!
Why not?
I don’t know; I just don’t want to!
Oh, like Dots just doesn’t want to play with me!
Maybe!
I really wanted to play flying fetch on Dots!
Fetch the ball!
Maybe she’s had enough playing for today!
Maybe she needs a rest!
Maybe she needs a break!
We just don’t know!
Flying fetch is fun!
Why don’t you play with D?
I wouldn’t play with him either!
How about we play it together?
Okay!
Flying fetch!
Woohoo!
I want to play!
Me too!
Wiggly, wiggly!
I want to play now too!
Okay!
Flying fetch!
Dots looks like she decided to play again!
Thanks for coming to play, Dots, even if you didn’t want to play with me!
Bye!
Come on, Twiggy! We got to save that acorn!
Acorn rescued!
Twiggy and Tara, safety day!
Ready, Twiggy?
Ready, Tara?
Go, go!
Yay!
Uh-oh, Twiggy!
It’s okay, you’re okay!
Twiggy’s broken!
I’ll fix it!
I’ll find you an even better Twiggy!
Mama T, I’m so sad! Twiggy broke!
Oh, poor Twiggy!
No wonder you’re sad; you loved him!
I did love him so much!
And I love you so much!
Lola, I better go catch Lola!
I know you’re still sad, and I’m right over there if you need me!
Lola, that’s not your nappy!
Look, Burby! I found you a twig!
It’s even bigger than Twiggy!
Hello, Barnaby!
I will be a special twig!
It’s too big for my pocket!
