WANT SOMETHING TO DO NOW?

Billy and Splodge visit a green planet, a blue planet, a red planet, a pink planet, and a yellow planet.
Imagine that Billy and Splodge visit a new planet.

What colour is it? Is it orange? or purple? or black? or a different colour?
What's on the planet? Are there trees? Are there any plants? Are there any animals?

Draw a picture of the planet, and write some sentences about it, for example, there's a purple sun.
