Inspired by the social story Ellie Shares Her Toys, this hands-on kit invites toddlers and preschoolers to “find a friend and share” using real story characters, soft sensory sand, and playful tools that turn big feelings about sharing into a gentle game.

What’s Inside:

  • Softcover Picture Book: Ellie Shares Her Toys (a gentle social story about sharing and taking turns)

  • “Animal Friends’ Playground – Find a Friend & Share!” Activity Card with simple, step-by-step setup

  • Song Card with an easy-to-learn sharing song and motions

  • Sensory Sand Base ready to pour into a bin or tray

  • 4 Safari Animal Figures from the story (perfect for hiding, finding, and sharing)

  • Mini Tongs & Wooden Scoop to dig through the sand and strengthen fine motor skills

Play + Learn:

Read Ellie Shares Her Toys together, then invite children to gather around the “Animal Friends’ Playground” sensory bin:

“Ellie and her friends are hiding in the playground! Let’s find them and share them with our friends.”

Children take turns using their hands or mini tongs to dig through the sand and uncover a safari animal. Each time they find one, they proudly say, “I found a friend—would you like it?” and offer it to a sibling, peer, or grown-up. Play continues until all four animals are found, then kids enjoy free play—acting out the story, building animal homes, and practicing kind, inclusive play.

Why Families Love It:

  • Turns “please share” moments into a warm, playful routine instead of a struggle

  • Teaches sharing, turn-taking, empathy, and cooperation through story + sensory play

  • Includes everything you need in one box—just add a bin or tray for the sand

  • Mini tongs and sand offer rich fine-motor and sensory input kids adore

  • Adorable animal characters and simple scripts make it easy for grown-ups to model what sharing sounds and feels like

Ellie’s big lesson becomes a daily rhythm: we dig, we find a friend, and we share—together.
