How to play
Load the stuffed animals into the basket as passengers.

Give them a destination: the kitchen, the front door, back to the couch.
Stop at each room to let one passenger off.
On the way back, pick every passenger up again.
What it helps with
Keep it safe
- Keep it on one floor, well away from stairs.
Make it different next time

- Make it a delivery round: take a sock to every bedroom.
Cleanup: Passengers off, basket back in the laundry.
