What Children Will Learn
Through playful conversations between classroom puppet friends Milo and Mya, children discover that sharing is about much more than sharing toys.
As Milo insists on being the "dinosaur boss" and refuses to consider Mya's ideas, children are gently guided to understand that good friends can:
Share ideas
Take turns making decisions
Listen to one another
Use kind friendship words
Work together to solve problems
Respect each other's thoughts and feelings
These everyday friendship skills help children develop communication, cooperation, empathy, and problem-solving abilities they can use both inside and outside the classroom.
