We’ve created a great fun, safe and friendly environment to let your children play and develop new skills. Try hot-seating the characters in the story to find out their feelings about what happened. How did Blue Kangaroo feel at different points? Did Lily realise that Blue Kangaroo was feeling upset?

There’s also an opportunity to talk about presents, why we give them and the presents you can’t buy. What dochildren think of the ending? Tell the story

How many different colours can you see? Can you draw colourful illustrations like this? Before beginning the story, talk together about the title and the cover. Is there anything unusual about a blue kangaroo? Read the story aloud, stopping to talk about the pictures, what’s happening in the story and how Blue kangaroo might be feeling.
