The Magic Pie

Once upon a time, there were two beautiful children.  The boy’s name was Rex and the girl’s name was Jessica.  Her name was too complicated so everyone called her Jenny. They lived with their parents in the forest. 
One day, Jenny and Rex went to the market to buy a gold bowl.  They had to squeeze into tight shoes so their feet were hurting the whole way.  At the market, they saw their aunt soaking clothes in dye.  Suddenly,  Rex happened to find a magic pie under a pot of dye.   Jenny and Rex were so surprised that they ran home quickly.  Before they reached home, a strong gust of wind blew the magic pie out of Rex’s hands. 

 They told their parents about their strange experience and never saw the magic pie again.

Sun Safe Play Everyday

Sunburn Serenade



When the sun hits naked skin, inflammation can begin.
Warmth, and redness, and swelling and pain, all can happen if you remain. 
Blood circulation tends to shut down, white blood cells move all around.  
Fluid leaks and protein too, the damage is done and nothing you can do.
