Explore together
Children see Nohut pull into her shell when the house fills with guests for Baba's birthday, notice that it's fine to wait until you're ready, and try joining in their own way, by carrying the present they made to Baba themselves.
In the colouring pages, children colour Nohut wrapping the box with Babaanne and giving the present to Baba, and talk about how they feel on busy days. In seek-and-find, they search the decorated living room and the birthday table one spot at a time, just as Nohut joins in at her own pace.
Talk together
1) What did Nohut do when everyone talked at once? What did Babaanne say to her? 2) How do you feel when lots of guests come to your home?
Together: At the next celebration or visit, offer your child a small job: opening the door with you, or carrying a present or a plate. If they don't want to, don't push; "Come when you're ready" is enough.
