A familiar adult can read one short opening. Wait for a clear choice, follow that idea and stop whenever wanted. Roughly ages 3–5 is a guide, not an entry test. No previous invitation, record, purchase, printer or device is required.

With no page or picture

Invent a tiny place and a visitor. Ask: Would our visitor like to join, watch, or do something else? Tell one small part of the story on the child's direction. Use their familiar voice, sign, AAC or agreed choice. An unclear response is not agreement. Rest, change or finish.

If a page helps

Choose one original empty aid, or use a plain page and a broad adult-chosen drawing tool. An adult may draw on clear direction; that drawing stays adult-made. Choose only a useful area. Leaving every area empty is fine. The filled Paper Harbour scene is optional supplied fiction, not child work or a real place.

Choose the amount that fits today

The short-starts sheet holds ten openings. A complete invitation card supplies the preparation, four play steps, three useful routes, two fictional examples, noticing/next teaching, a later fresh start and an optional extra. The full parent guide supports quieter, no-image, less-handling and familiar-language options. None is a required order or a fixed learning-style track.

Keep the words with the print

Use the full parent guide and complete no-image descriptions beside any selected card or aid. Educators can use the whole noticing guide to choose a next invitation from what actually happened and the help given. A printed page is an opportunity; completion is not developmental evidence.
