[Ben](6S5HVTC5) gently walked over but didn’t interrupt. He quietly began to set a timer to help her get ready for what comes next.

“[Ella](QY5WN5KR), in two minutes, it will be time to clean up for snack,” [Ben](6S5HVTC5) said with a warm smile, showing her the timer so she could see how much time was left.

[Ella](QY5WN5KR) nodded, understanding that playtime was almost over. She happily returned to her blocks, knowing she had time to finish her tower.

When the timer beeped, [Ben](6S5HVTC5) gently reminded [Ella](QY5WN5KR), “It’s time to stop playing now and get ready for snack.”

“Okay!” said [Ella](QY5WN5KR), a little sad to stop but ready to listen. Together, [Ben](6S5HVTC5) and [Ella](QY5WN5KR) began to clean up the blocks, one by one.

When the blocks were all put away, [Ella](QY5WN5KR) skipped over to the snack table, excited for her next activity.

[Ella](QY5WN5KR) enjoyed her snack, feeling proud that she had helped clean up and transitioned so smoothly. Snack time felt even more fun this way!
