Shalvit Kids TV Magazine — Issue 28: How Things Work

**The tap won't turn, the gate squeaks, and the basket is TOO heavy — time to discover the helper machines hiding in your own home!** ⚙️

Welcome to **Issue 28 of the Shalvit Kids TV Magazine** — a giant **135-page** month of stories, songs and smiles, all about **HOW THINGS WORK!** Join Daddy and the cast as a stuck tap, a squeaky gate and a heavy basket lead to levers, wheels and pulleys at home scale — then help Lulu mend her tricycle the safe way: children hold the torch, grown-ups turn the tools!

🔧 **What's inside (135 pages!):**

- **The Day the Tap Wouldn't Turn** — a 26-page hero story: a stuck tap never forced, a hinge oiled by Daddy, wheels and a ramp rescuing a heavy basket, a seesaw lever, a flag pulley, a magnet game, and a fridge that hums because a motor inside is working

- **Lulu Fixes the Tricycle** — an 18-page second story expanding *Bibo Learns to Ride a Bicycle* (Book 34): a loose wheel means STOP, a grown-up turns the spanner while children hold the light, a push-test, a helmet click — "Together, we mend!"

- **Bible Story Time: The Angel Frees Peter (Acts 12)** — Peter sleeping, woken by the angel's LIGHT (light + voice only, never a winged figure), chains falling, the iron gate opening by itself, and the friends' happy amazement at the door

- **Feelings Corner: Feeling Capable** — I can understand how it works, and I can do my part

- **Sing With Us** — *"Turn, Turn, Little Wheel"* with full lyrics and dance actions, plus the fix-it team's song *Hold the Torch, Daddy Turns*

- **Learning Lab: Simple Machines** — lever (the seesaw lifts), wheel & axle, pulley (the flag goes up), ramp (easier than lifting), magnet play with asserted stick / no-stick pairs, switches on/off with clear electrical safety, and **Kiki Asks Why?** *"Why does the fridge hum?"* (a motor inside is working — true!)

- **Count & Find** — the workshop scene: count **6 wheels + 5 tools**, plus cogs, bolts, windmills and stars — every count drawn, numbered and verified

- **Puzzle Pages** — two solver-verified mazes, spot-the-difference, dot-to-dot wheel, workshop pairs and the Big Quiz — **with a full answer key at the back**

- **Special: "What Does It Do?" machine-match quiz** — seesaw, fridge, fan and tap, matched and keyed

- **Jokes & Giggles** — clean toddler machine jokes plus a *That's Silly!* spot-what's-wrong page

- **Colour & Create** — 4 colouring pages, 2 colour-by-number pages and 2 draw-it-yourself pages

- **Make It** — a **paper windmill that really spins**, step by step, with cutting and the pin clearly marked as **grown-up steps**

- **Yummy Corner** — the **winding-well water cups** under the kitchen-safety lock (hands washed first, grown-up pours the COLD water, children wind the string to lift a paper cup at the table)

- **Our Nigeria** — **The Makers of Nnewi**, the Nigerian town famous for making vehicles and machine parts. That's Cool!

- **Parent Pages + Full Answer Key** — what your child learned, how to play the pages together, tool, electrical and magnet safety notes, and every answer, cross-checked

🎓 **What your child will learn:**

- ⚙️ True simple machines for ages 2–6 — lever, wheel & axle, pulley, ramp, magnet, switch and motor, in words a toddler can hold

- 🔢 Counting with exact, numbered, verified quantities
