how many rounds
of CANDYland can
grandma possibly play?
SWEET littles in my life!

let’s begin again
GINGERBREADs,
we’re lined up at start
in primary colors

happy for shortcuts;
hopeful to see princess
LOLLY POP up in deck
rather than feeling

glum and PLUMpy

Response to Elsie’s tanka challenge using: prepare & surprises

games prepare children

for life’s odd wins and losses

Candyland delight

anticipate surprises

outcomes are all in the cards
