Remember: Mend it, give it a new job, or pass it on. Old does not always mean finished.
Kit tidies his room
Read the story first.
A second lifeKit's room was a big mess, so he and his grown-up tidied up together. Kit found a sock with a hole, and Teddy's ear hung by a thread. "Wait," said his grown-up, "old does not always mean finished." She sewed Teddy's ear back on with a needle while Kit held Teddy still. A bright patch covered the hole in the sock. An empty jam jar became a pencil pot, and Kit painted stars on it. The coat was too small for Kit, so it went to Dot the duck, and it fitted her perfectly. Kit learned three ways to give a thing a second life.
