Medicine is for grown-ups.
The big ideaOnly a grown-up you trust gives medicine. Medicine is not candy.
How it works
Medicine helps a body get better. It is not a snack or a treat.
Only a grown-up you trust gives you medicine.
If you find some, do not touch it. Tell a grown-up.
If you find some.
Example 1: Medicine from my grown-up
Kit has a sniffly nose.
His grown-up measures the right amount on a spoon.
That is okay, because a grown-up you trust gives it.
Example 2: It looks like candy
Dot finds a jar of tablets, pink, blue and yellow.
They look like sweets, but medicine is not candy.
We do not eat it or open the jar.
🫙a jar🍬looks like candy🚫but it is not
Not candy.
Example 3: Thank you for telling
Kit and Dot hurry to find his grown-up.
They say, we found a jar on the floor.
His grown-up says, thank you for telling me, and puts the jar up high.
