It’s a story of green peas and red peas. Green Peas only knew to say “GO” he loves practising the word GO. He was excited to say the new word to the world and he went to a construction site and shouted GO! The vehicles that were building a bridge suddenly heard GO and the construction vehicles started doing their work fast and everything landed in chaos. Then came red peas, and he knew only to say STOP. Just like a traffic signal, this started working together and they were bringing the vehicles in order and the bridge was completed. Once the bridge got over, yellow peas came in to say SLOW DOWN. A beautiful story of GO, STOP and slowdown, this repetition helps the toddlers to enhance their speaking capacity.
