# Ready, use, pause, return

What comes first? Which part is it, where will it go, and who will act? Your finished picture can stay safe. Show a return idea, or keep it as a plan.

1. Choose one way to take part. One useful part is enough.
2. Keep your own idea before an example. A helper can read or record your exact words.
3. You can keep it private, pause, finish or return.

## Choose a way

### 1

Draw or place one part of your own guide, if you want.

### 2

Tell a willing adult exactly where to put a part. Say that the adult placed it.

### 3

Draw or tell what would happen first, when you start, and when you get ready again. It can stay a plan.
