Oh, look at that! What’s floating in the air? It’s a feather! Feathers are soft and fluffy, and they sometimes come out of cushions. Cushions have feathers inside to make them nice and soft. Isn’t that cool?
Imagine a big, soft place called Cushion Mountain. It’s made of lots and lots of cushions! You can jump on them, lie down, and even take a nap. It’s like a big, cozy bed!
Our friends, Wibbly and Piggly, are getting ready to sleep on Cushion Mountain. They feel very comfy and cozy. Do you like feeling comfy too? It’s nice to have a soft place to rest.
When it’s time to sleep, we can sing a lullaby. A lullaby is a gentle song that helps us relax and fall asleep. Let’s sing about Cushion Mountain:
“Cozy cushions under your head on Cushion Mountain. Cozy cushions make a soft bed on Cushion Mountain. Cozy cushions under your feet on Cushion Mountain. On Cushion Mountain. On Cushion Mountain.”
Did you know that feathers come from birds? Birds use feathers to fly and keep warm. Feathers are light and soft, just like the ones in our cushions!
Now, let’s pretend we’re on Cushion Mountain. Close your eyes and imagine you’re lying on a big pile of soft cushions. Can you feel how comfy it is? Maybe you can even pretend to be a bird flying with feathers!
Isn’t learning fun? We can discover so many things just by using our imagination. Have a cozy day on Cushion Mountain!
Feather Hunt: Let’s go on a feather hunt! Look around your home or classroom for anything that feels soft and fluffy like a feather. It could be a pillow, a stuffed animal, or even a piece of clothing. Once you find something, share it with your friends and talk about how it feels. Is it as soft as the feathers in Cushion Mountain?
Build Your Own Cushion Mountain: Gather some cushions, pillows, or soft blankets and create your own Cushion Mountain at home or in the classroom. Once you’ve built it, take turns jumping on it or lying down. How does it feel? Can you imagine you’re on the real Cushion Mountain? Maybe you can even pretend to be Wibbly or Piggly getting ready for a nap!
Feather Art: Let’s make some feather art! Use paper, crayons, and any craft materials you have to draw or create your own feather. Think about the colors and shapes you want to use. Once you’re done, share your feather art with the class. How do your feathers compare to the ones in the cushions?
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
“Oh, what’s that? Whoa, whoa, it’s a feather! It came out of that cushion. Yeah, cushions have feathers in them to make them soft. Didn’t you know that? Yes, I did actually. Show me! Wibbly here, blow it back. There! That’s the top of Cushion Mountain. Piggly and I are going to go to sleep now. I’m comfy, are you comfy, Piggly? Piggly’s comfy too, so we’re both comfy now. Thank you! Oh, what do I do then? Sing us a lullaby. Cozy cushions under your head on Cushion Mountain. Cozy cushions make a soft bed on Cushion Mountain. Cozy cushions under your feet on Cushion Mountain. On Cushion Mountain. On Cushion Mountain.”
