Treasure Jungle

I went out into the garden today, and to brighten it up, I went on an imaginary adventure with Luke, Resus, Cleo, Bluey and Bingo!
First, we boarded Missy's pirate ship and had a fine time sailing the seven seas (Pirates, anyone?). That is, until a giant storm washes us into the rainforest, where we trekked across, trying to find help. Along the way, we tamed a jaguar by tickling it and found a way round a hippo. We got lost, but found a spaceship that took us to Dagabar, where we met Luke Skywalker, Yoda and R2-D2. Yoda congratulated us on exploring the value of patience, which was explored in the Galaxy Of Sounds short 'Light Side', and gave us medals of bravery. We crash landed back down to earth in Bluey's backyard, where we met Bandit and Chilli. We talked about our adventure to them.

I.B.F.Fs: The Sea

These are copyright-avoiding versions of some stories I might do for fun someday, starring Sophie and her siblings.
In 'The Sea', Sophie and her siblings vanquish a boring bathtime by imagining they are swimming in the sea. In 'My Baby', Sophie recalls when she was a baby, and how Zura, Fang and Luna took care of her, while Duane and Sally took care of their new baby daughter Cookie. In 'Fairytale', with all the fairytale books read, Sophie and her siblings decide to concoct their own fairy story. Finally, 'Doctor's Surgery' sees Sophie and her siblings become doctors themselves are getting tired of waiting for Doctor Candy.

I.B.F.Fs: Cousin Snuggles

Four fun stories featuring Sophie and her family and friends.

In 'Cousin Snuggles', Sophie and B-245 play at 'Snuggle Monsters' when Sophie stays round at Aunt Frankie's for the weekend. 'Day Trip' sees Sophie and her siblings spend time at the trampoline park one day, and the playground and library the next. In 'Takeaway', Sophie and her siblings are forced to wait 10 minutes for their pizza takeaway, so they play at delivering pizzas to the grownups. Finally, 'Birthday Parties' sees Sophie and her monster siblings attend every birthday party that has Nick organising Pass The Parcel, and interact with Candy, Tia, Snowball, Anna, Flutt, Snuffles and Goldie outside the game.

Painted Peace Rocks

As an interlude because I'm not doing any stories, I'm sharing with you this craft for marker-painted rocks. You can paint peace symbols on them and leave them on the doorsteps of other people, to let them know that the whole neighbourhood lives in peace and harmony.
