Purple Locks kit

This is a contemporary take on the old classic The Three Little Bears. The slightly punky-looking Purple Locks visits the three bears' house and gets into much too much mischief. This story is an open-ended one, which can lead to the story extension and play extension activities that are introduced at this level.
