Durability

 
 

Narrative

Some things can last a really long time.  They may just need an occasional part changed or replaced.  Mr. & Mrs. Stick change their candles. What items around the house can a kid help stay in service with a touch of involvement? 

Illustration discussions:

  • What color is Mr. Sticks candle? How does Mr. Stick feel about his selection?

  • What color would you have for a candle? What are they considering when choosing? Color? Weight?

  • Should they both have the same color candles? Mr. & Mrs. Stick appear very sturdy. Why is that?

Activities

Plenty of items in the house can be changed out and kept in play. 

  • Kids can certainly change a light bulb. 

  • They can empty trash and change a garbage can liner

  • A kid can change out a vacuum cleaner bag

  • Or maybe storage spaces by thinking through seasonal changes of clothes and putting away items not to be used for another year.
