Huff-Puff Cat tying his sneakers

The Huff-Puff Cat Gets Fit

Age: 4–6 • Theme: friendship, healthy habits • Length: ~6 min

Read more

Huff-Puff Cat loved naps, snacks, and more naps. One sunny morning, he tried to chase a butterfly—and ran out of puff! “I need a plan,” he said, paws on knees.

His friends arrived with ideas. Squeak the mouse taught tiny stretches. Bop the puppy showed how to jog to a beat. “Left-paw, right-paw, wiggle, breathe!” they sang.

They made a rainbow chart: water sips, veggie bites, dance breaks, and bedtime stars. Each time Huff-Puff tried, a star lit up. By Friday, his chart twinkled like the night sky.

On Saturday, the butterfly returned. Huff-Puff chased, laughed, and didn’t lose his puff. “I’m still Huff-Puff,” he grinned, “just… with extra puff!”

Moral: Small steps + friends = big sparkle.

Maurice holding a starry backpack

Maurice and the Backpack of Stars

Age: 5–8 • Theme: curiosity, kindness • Length: ~7 min

Read more

Maurice found a backpack that shimmered like night. Each zipper hid a tiny constellation that giggled when he peeked.

“We guide travelers,” whispered a star. “What do you need?” Maurice thought of his new school and the twisty hallways. “A map made of starlight.”

He followed glowing arrows to the library, the music room, and—most important—the bench where a shy kid sat alone. Maurice shared the sparkle. Two smiles lit the day.

That evening he zipped the backpack shut. The stars hummed, “Kindness is our favorite galaxy.”

Lily and Rabbit in a blooming garden

Lily’s Garden Adventures with Rabbit

Age: 3–6 • Theme: imagination, nature • Length: ~5 min

Read more

Lily planted wishes instead of seeds. Rabbit watered them with dew from his whiskers. Up grew bell-flowers that rang hello and sunflower clocks that only told giggle-time.

One wish sprouted shy—a tiny leaf that wanted to be brave. Lily and Rabbit sang it a sunshine song. The leaf stretched, yawned, and became a heart-shaped tree.

“Every garden needs courage,” said Rabbit, “and a song to help it grow.”

Clever Pig with a raincoat and puddles

Puddles everywhere! Clever Pig drew chalk bridges, boat paths, and splash-zones. The barn became a city of umbrellas and quacks.

When the roof dripped, Pig placed buckets like drums. “Rain concert!” Everyone stomped and clapped to the pitter-patter beat.

By sunset, clouds parted. “We turned rainy into yay-y!” snorted Clever Pig, bowing to thunderous oinks.
