Uh-oh! Something strange happened. Gabby and Pandy were in the bathroom when suddenly everything seemed much bigger. But guess what? The room didn’t get bigger; Gabby and Pandy got smaller!
Oh no! A shrink potion made them teeny-tiny. But don’t worry, it was just an accident. MerCat, their friend, promised to help them get back to their normal size with a special grow potion.
MerCat needed special ingredients to make the grow potion. Most of them were in the Dollhouse, but one special ingredient, rainbow sand, was far away in a place called Mermaid-lantis.
Gabby and Pandy decided to find the ingredients in the Dollhouse while MerCat went to get the rainbow sand. They were ready for their tiny adventure!
The first ingredient they needed was purple glitter. They knew their crafty friend, Baby Box, always had lots of glitter. So, off to the craft room they went!
With the help of some friendly Hamster Kitties, Gabby and Pandy hitched a ride to find the purple glitter. They sang a fun song as they searched:
They found the purple glitter, but it was too high to reach. Gabby had a clever idea! They could use a ruler like a catapult. Pandy would stand on one side, and Gabby would jump on the other to launch Pandy up to the shelf.
With a countdown of three, two, one, Pandy was launched into the air and landed right next to the glitter. Hooray!
Gabby and Pandy were excited to keep finding more ingredients. Even though they were small, they knew they could do big things together. Their adventure was just beginning!
Build Your Own Catapult: Gather some simple materials like a ruler, a small plastic spoon, and a rubber band. With the help of an adult, create a mini catapult. Use small objects like cotton balls or paper balls as your “projectiles.” Try launching them and see how far they go! Discuss with your friends or family how Gabby and Pandy used a catapult to reach the glitter. What other things could you use a catapult for in your tiny adventure?
Ingredient Hunt: Just like Gabby and Pandy searched for ingredients, go on a mini treasure hunt at home or in the classroom. Create a list of colorful items to find, like something red, something shiny, or something soft. Once you find all the items, imagine they are special ingredients for your own magical potion. What kind of potion would you make, and what would it do?
Think Big, Even When You’re Small: Gabby and Pandy learned that even though they were small, they could do big things. Think about a time when you felt small or couldn’t do something on your own. What did you do to solve the problem? Draw a picture of yourself doing something big and brave, just like Gabby and Pandy. Share your story with a friend or family member.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Uh-oh. Huh?
Oh no! The shrink potion! Uh… Gabby, is it just me, or did the bathroom get a whole lot bigger?
I don’t think the room got bigger, Pandy. I think we got smaller.
You’ve got to be kidding me!
Oh, I’m afraid not. The shrink potion shrank you down to a teeny-tiny size.
It’s OK, Hamster Kitty. We know it was an accident.
MerCat, does this mean we’re going to be tiny forever?
Oh, of course not. I’ll just whip up a batch of my grow potion and you’ll be back to your regular size in no time.
Phew! I’ve got the ingredients right here.
Uh-oh. Looks like I’m all out of ingredients for my grow potion.
What do we do now?
OK, Pandy, I’m sure we can figure this out. MerCat, where can we get the ingredients we need?
Luckily, all the ingredients can be found right here in the Dollhouse. Well, everything except the rainbow sand. That can only be found way down in Mermaid-lantis.
Hmm. MerCat, Pandy and I can collect all the ingredients in the Dollhouse, while you go to Mermaid-lantis to get the rainbow sand.
Ooh! Sounds like a perfect plan. We’ll meet right back here with all the ingredients. Good luck, my tiny travelers. See you soon.
Gabby, how are we supposed to find all those ingredients? I don’t know if you forgot, but we’re tiny now.
Don’t worry, Pandy. We may be small, but we can still do big things. Let’s see. What’s the first ingredient we need to find?
Purple glitter! And what crafty kitty do we know always has lots of glitter? Baby Box! To the craft room we go.
You little fluffballs can give us a ride? I never thought I’d get to ride a Hamster Kitty.
Hang on tight, Pandy. Yee-hah!

Thanks, Hamster Kitties. OK. Now we need to find the purple glitter. Where’s the purple glitter?
You found it! Now we just need to find a way to get up there.
Hey, maybe we can climb this pom-pom string up to the table so we can get a better look.
Good thinking, Pandy. Let’s get climbing.
Oh man! That jar of purple glitter is still too high for us to reach.
Hmm. Oh! I’ve got it!
We can use this ruler like a catapult.
If you stand on this side of the ruler, then I jump on this side, it will launch you right up onto the shelf.
Gabby, I like the way you think. This will be easy-peasy.
Tiny Pandy, prepare to launch.
I’m prepared. In three, two, one, launch!
A-meow-zing! I made it!
