I know of a place where you never get bored. There are no mommies or daddies or aunts or uncles or any other grownups there. Even most big brothers and sisters and cousins are too big to go. Come on, I’ll show you.
First, we have to find a place somewhere out in the yard – or maybe inside the house if it’s raining – where only you and me can fit and where nobody will be able to find us.
Then we both have to close our eyes. Don’t peek or it won’t work! I’ll know if you start peeking! Now we can get started. Think of the most beautiful thing you can imagine.
I usually picture a giant tree, the biggest in the world. It’s taller than any other tree, but it has branches that are low enough you and me can reach them. It’s the kind of tree that has flowers growing right in it along with the leaves, and flowers grow on the ground all around the bottom of it, too!
After I can see the picture in my head, I can start climbing it. Come on, you can climb my tree with me since it’s your first time! Just hold onto one of these branches that’s the same height as your head and step up on one of these that are up to your knees. You keep doing that over and over to go up, like going up a weird ladder. Copy what I do, follow me!
See, now that we’re up in the tree we can see what’s in it better! All the cutest and funnest animals live in this tree – all the ones that know how to climb, anyway. There’s a bunch of cats on that branch over there, and up there you can see birds and butterflies flying around. Only nice animals come here.
Climb up higher with me. Up here are little treehouses only we can fit in, and they’re filled with toys. Pretty music is playing on a piano or something, but not the kind mom plays us during naptime.
When we get so high we can’t climb anymore, then we peek through the leaves at the top. See? We can touch the clouds, and sometimes there’s even a rainbow!
Okay, you can open your eyes now. It’s your turn. You have to think up a place different from mine, one that’s all your own.
