Making new friends is an exciting part of every child’s adventure. In New Friends, the second Pre-A0+ story from JOYup, children meet Ella, Dave, Mia and Tim as their journey together begins.
Ella and Dave are walking with Bunny when they meet Mia and Tim. The children greet one another, introduce themselves and quickly become new friends.
Together, they notice Bunny’s footprints and follow them towards JOYland Preschool. When they arrive, they meet their teacher, Ms Star, and begin a new adventure together.
As you watch, listen for the children introducing themselves and talking about Bunny.
