A story about Friendship
for your Kindergartener.

In a bright forest, Zigzag Zander works on a big jigsaw puzzle. He is a silly, puzzle-loving zombie who never stops smiling. “I will throw a puzzle party,” he says. “Friends will have so much fun!”

In another part of the forest, Ember Flare flutters her bright wings. She loves adventure and can hardly wait to help plan the party. “I can bring shiny puzzle pieces!” she says.

Nearby, a little sign reads “Puzzle Party!” with bright letters. It sparkles in the gentle sunlight. Creatures gather around it, curious about the new event.

Zigzag Zander places a box of puzzles on a log. He wonders how to help everyone feel safe while they play. “Maybe I’ll give each friend their own space,” he thinks, “so no one feels too crowded.”

Ember Flare practices gentle greetings. “Hello!” she says softly. She wants to make sure new friends feel happy and brave enough to solve puzzles together.

Bright puzzle boards wait on large mushrooms. Each board has a special shape, like stars or moons. A squirrel peeks at them curiously before scampering away.

Zigzag Zander greets a shy fairy. “Welcome!” he says with a gentle smile. He shows her a puzzle corner where she can play at her own pace.

Ember Flare brings out snacks shaped like little puzzle pieces. “Snack break, everyone!” she calls. “Taking turns to eat and solve puzzles can be fun!”
