Learning to Share: Vanya and His First Steps Towards Friendship

One morning at preschool, Anna Petrovna suggested that the children play together with their toys. Vanya came to the group with a new toy car that he had recently been given and was eager to try it out. The car was bright red, with large wheels and flashing lights, and it immediately caught the attention of the other children. Liza and Pasha approached Vanya and asked if they could play with his toy.

At first, Vanya didn’t want to share the car. He thought that if he gave it to others, it might get broken, and he wouldn't be able to play with it himself anymore. He tried to hide the car behind his back, but Liza and Pasha were still curiously looking at it. Vanya saw that they really wanted to play together but didn’t know how to handle the situation properly.

Anna Petrovna approached Vanya and explained that toys become even more exciting when shared with friends. She told him that if Vanya allowed his friends to play with the car, they could set up a real game and have a fun time together. Vanya thought about her words and decided to give it a try.

Carefully, Vanya handed the car to Liza and asked her to be gentle with it. Liza smiled and promised to take good care of the toy. She carefully rolled the car across the floor and then passed it to Pasha, who was also curious to try it out. Vanya watched his friends and suddenly realized how nice it was to see them happy and playing together.

Pasha suggested organizing a race with the toy cars, and Vanya agreed. He took another toy car from the toy box so that each child had their own car. They built a "track" out of blocks, and the game began. Liza, Pasha, and Vanya tried their best to race the cars as quickly as possible, and every time someone reached the finish line, everyone cheered and laughed. Vanya felt that the game was much more exciting when he wasn’t playing alone but with his friends.

During the game, Vanya noticed that Liza couldn't find her favorite toy. She started looking for it around but couldn't find it anywhere. Vanya remembered how nice it was when his friends were happy playing with his car, and decided to offer Liza one of his toys. He approached her and said, "Liza, if you want, you can play with my doll." Liza smiled and happily accepted the offer.

Together with Pasha, they began to play imaginary stories with the dolls and cars, creating fun scenes. Vanya saw that sharing made the game more interesting and that everyone could contribute something of their own. They laughed and fantasized together, feeling that their friendship was growing stronger.

When the game was over, Anna Petrovna thanked everyone for sharing with each other and being considerate towards one another. Vanya felt happy and realized that sharing toys is great because it allows him to bring joy to his friends and enjoy himself as well. He decided that next time he would gladly let his friends play with his toys because playing together is much more fun.

At the end of the day, Anna Petrovna suggested that the children share what they learned today. Liza said that she understood how nice it is when friends help find toys and support each other during play. Pasha added that sharing is an opportunity to enjoy together and see the smiles of friends. And Vanya proudly said that he now knows that toys become even more valuable when shared with friends.

Moral: Sharing is a gift that brings joy and makes play more fun and interesting. When we share with friends, we create strong bonds, learn care and kindness. Toys become even more valuable when they bring joy not only to ourselves but also to our friends.
