Case 002 · Tired
The Case of the Droopy Detective
Can you solve a mystery?
Dot tries to build a tower, colour a picture and race Marmalade, but nothing seems to work. Dot’s head feels foggy, eyes keep blinking, arms feel floppy and legs feel sore and slow. What could these clues mean?
Children join Dot and Marmalade to look for body and thought clues, work out the feeling, try a quiet recharge and think about what Dot might need next.
