BeanTots
Which story tonight? Everyone drops one bean in a cup, then count the cups: the most beans wins. Practise with the animals, then hold your family's own vote on this phone. A tie is a tie, with fair ways to settle it. Ages 3–5.

Meet the cast
BeanTots's friends choose together. Beanie hands everyone one bean, Cuppa holds the cups, Fairleigh counts the beans out loud, and Tiebo knows what to do when two cups have the same.
Beanie
(Hero and guide, a jay) - gives each friend exactly one bean, so everyone counts the same
Cuppa
A mouse who holds the cups - one cup for each story
Fairleigh
A badger who counts - counts every cup out loud before saying who won
Tiebo
A tortoise who settles ties - when two cups match, finds a fair way to choose
