Hello! This is Mai. Outside, the rain is going patter-patter on the window. Mai cannot go to the park, but she is not sad.
"Let's have a picnic inside!" she says to her mom. Today, the Living Room will be a big, green meadow.
First, Mai finds a Checked Blanket. She learns about Preparation. She spreads the red and white blanket on the rug.
"This is our grass!" says Mai. She smooths the corners so it is flat and ready for the party.
Next, Mai packs the Picnic Basket. She learns about Essentials. She puts in napkins, small plates, and her favorite yellow cups.
She remembers to bring a spoon for the fruit salad. A good explorer never forgets the tools!
Now, Mai prepares the Sandwiches. She learns about Layers. She puts cheese between two slices of soft bread. Squish! She uses a plastic cutter to make them into the shape of stars.
"Star-sandwiches taste better!" giggles Mai.
Suddenly, Mai hears a Squeak. She learns about Guests. Her teddy bear, Bino, and her doll, Lucy, want to join. Mai invites them to sit on the blanket.
"Welcome to our indoor forest!" says Mai politely.
Next, Mai pours the Apple Juice. She learns about Steadiness. She holds the jug carefully and fills the cups. Glug-glug.
She doesn't spill a single drop! She feels like a very grown-up hostess for her friends.
Now, they eat the Fruit Salad. She learns about Variety. There are red watermelons, green grapes, and yellow pineapples. Mai loves the different colors in her bowl.
"It’s a rainbow in my tummy!" says Mai.
Suddenly, the lights go out. She learns about Atmosphere. The room is a bit dark, so Mom lights a small lantern. Now the picnic feels like a campfire adventure in the woods.
Mai tells a happy story about a friendly dragon.
Next, Mai plays "I Spy". She learns about Observation. "I spy something blue," says Mai. Lucy the doll is wearing a blue dress!
They laugh and play games while the rain continues to sing outside.
Now, it is time for Dessert. She learns about Treats. Mom brings out some small honey cookies. They are crunchy and sweet.
Mai shares a piece of her cookie with Bino the Bear. Sharing makes everything taste sweeter.
The picnic is Finishing. She learns about Cleanup. Mai helps Mom put the crumbs in the trash and fold the blanket. "Even an indoor meadow needs to be tidy!" thinks Mai.
She puts her basket back in the kitchen.
Then, Mai looks at the Window. She learns about Perspective. The rain has stopped, and the sun is peeking out.
But Mai is happy she stayed inside. She had a wonderful journey without even leaving the house.
Finally, Mai gives her Mom a Hug. She learns about Love. "Thank you for the best picnic, Mom!" she says.
Mai realizes that the best place to be is anywhere with her family and her imagination.
Mai’s picnic adventure is finished. She tells her dad, "I ate stars in the forest today!"
She realized that You can find sunshine even on a rainy day. If you had a picnic in your room, would you eat star-sandwiches or honey cookies?
