Don&#8217;t forget to help Milly finish her picture! What is she painting? A boat? A bat? A balloon?

For example, if she&#8217;s in her bedroom, there might be toys on the floor; if she&#8217;s at school, how would you show this? But perhaps she&#8217;s doing her painting somewhere much more exciting: in Buckingham Palace, or on a space ship!
