StretchTots
Noodle the dachshund is long. Bean the pug is not. How much longer? Line the ribbons up on the start line, find the piece that sticks out, and build a train as long as Noodle. Real socks and spoons first, with a grown-up. Ages 3–5.
Built for sittings of about 10 minutes on the screen. That is our design budget, not a measurement.

Noodle the dachshund is very long and very proud of it. Bean the pug is short and does not mind at all. They always stand on the same start line, so comparing them is fair.
Noodle
(Mentor, a dachshund) - long; always stands with his front paws on the start line
Bean
A pug - short; asks “how much longer?” and points at the piece that sticks out
