Adi & Mia Pretend Jobs

The costume trunk is open tonight

What you are opening

Adi & Mia Pretend Jobs is a digital story pack. The price on this page is $9.99 USD. Fourteen-piece character sheet, ten play cards, thirty Full HD slides sized for a television. The gallery unlocks when the order is paid. This is not the wooden Safari Story Play Set at $69.99, and it is not an app that invents cartoons — you assign the jobs, and the pictures hold still until somebody taps next.

Adi wears a cream chef apron and a tall white hat. Mia wears a teal shopkeeper apron and a small newsboy cap. The other twelve pieces belong to this town only: a baker’s oven, a mail bag, a toy bus, a doctor bag, a paint pot, a wooden microphone, a ticket booth, a watering can, a toolbox, a storybook, a town clock, and the costume trunk. No lions, no jeep, no tent from the wooden box.

Pretending here means a job for about five minutes. You bake air. You drive the bus as far as the clock. You decide it is raining on a perfectly clear picture, and then you invent sun. A toddler can point and pick; an older preschooler will rename every job twice. We do not promise creativity scores or school readiness.

How tonight works: open the gallery, cast it to the TV, draw a card, hand out the job, play three pictures, swap the job if they want. Stop whenever. Gift cards can pay for this. Stars cannot. A wooden pretend-jobs set may come later with no date.

Meet the fourteen pieces

The fourteen friends of this story — Adi and Mia in tonight’s clothes, plus twelve pieces drawn for this pack alone. These are pictures, not the wooden Safari or Dinosaur boxes.

Adi

Chef apron and a tall white hat. Baker, then weather inventor.

Mia

Teal shopkeeper apron and a newsboy cap. Desk, tickets, lookout.

Baker’s oven

Bakes cake made of nothing. Very popular.

Mail bag

Holds letters you invent. One pebble stamp each.

Toy bus

Two stops. Fare: one thank-you.

Doctor bag

Fixes the town clock with a kind look.

Paint pot

Paints the air whatever colour the evening needs.

Wooden microphone

For the closing song. Volume is optional.

Ticket booth

Mia’s desk. Tickets are leaves.

Watering can

Makes pretend rain, then pretend sun.

Toolbox

One wooden spanner. Fixes anything you point at.

Storybook

The town library. Three pages long.

Town clock

Says it is closing time when you are ready.

Costume trunk

Where the jobs live when they are not being worn.

Ten story cards — one evening in order

Card one starts it and card ten finishes it. Each card names the pieces to play with and carries one line on the back that moves the night along. The three pictures for each card wait in the gallery.

How tonight works

1. Open the gallery from the order email or your account.
2. Put it on the TV. Cast the browser tab, or open it on a laptop plugged into the screen.
3. Draw one card. Read the title out loud. Point at the friends in the row.
4. Play three pictures. Let them argue about who goes first.
5. Stop after one card if that was enough. Ten cards is not a homework list.

Care and honesty

• This is a digital product. Nothing ships, and there is no wooden piece in this order.
• The gallery link works after the order is paid, and stays on your account.
• Slides are 1920×1080 for a television. Captions are read aloud by you — they are not printed on the pictures.
• Gift cards can pay for this. Stars cannot; stars are for laser image revisions only.
• We do not promise skill scores, milestones, or school readiness.
• A wooden set with these cards may come later. Tonight this is the TV story.
