To play this, find a bag or box to be the 'baggage'. When starting the bedtime story, involve the idea of packing and unpacking the baggage. 'Let's pack our baggage for a trip to the stars in our story tonight. We'll put in our magic wand (a small stick) and our flying shoes (some toy shoes).' As you tell the story, describe how these items in the baggage are used during the adventure.
