Once upon a time, there was a magical school bus filled with toys. The jigsaw puzzle, chess set, story book and Barbie doll all wanted to play together, but they couldn’t decide what to do.

Just then, the teddy bear hopped on board and suggested they put on a play. The jigsaw puzzle became the stage, the chess pieces became actors, the story book became the script and the Barbie doll played the lead.

The school bus took them to a magical land where they put on the most amazing play for all the creatures in the forest. When the show was over, the audience cheered and asked for an encore.

So, the teddy bear came up with a new idea, and they put on a new play every day, each one more creative than the last. And the toys lived happily ever after, putting on plays and having fun together.
