Murphy and the Flying FrisbeeA Letter F Adventure for Kids

NOW STREAMING

The story

It's a sunny day at the city park, and Murphy gives his red frisbee a big rocket blast, whoosh! It flies way too far. It lands on a lily pad, where a frog hops on and boings it back up, then a friendly fox catches it and plays fetch, tossing it right into the big fountain. Whoosh! The fountain sprays it up into the tallest tree, and a big red fire truck raises its ladder and brings it back down to Murphy.

01Paper plate frisbeeToss a paper plate back and forth like a frisbee. Every catch, say a word that starts with the “f” sound: fan, fish, fun, five.
02Frog hopsCrouch down and hop like a frog across the room. Say “F is for frog!” with every hop.
03Fire truck rescuePut a soft toy up on a low shelf. Your Couch Buddy makes a ladder with their arm, brings it down and says “F is for fire truck!”

For parents

Murphy chases his frisbee all the way across the city park, and every friend and place he finds starts with the “f” sound in fun: frisbee, frog, fox, fountain and fire truck. Each word pops up next to a big letter F, and Murphy says “F is for…” after each one, so kids see the letter and hear its sound together.

How do I help my child say the F sound?

Rest your top teeth gently on your bottom lip and blow: “fff.” It's a quiet sound with no voice, like air slowly coming out of a balloon. Kids can feel the air on their hand.

How do I help my child write a little f?

Start near the top with a small hook, like the top of a cane, pull straight down, then add a short line across. The Trace It game shows that order with arrows.
