Play School

- Season 137

(1966)

Karen and Matt dress the toys up as fruits. They use yellow crepe paper to make a banana costume. Cherry earrings are made from red play dough. An apple necklace is made using red scourers as the apples. Through the windows there are different sized bicycles. An adventure tree is made for the toys with ropes to swing on, a tree house and other activities.

Leah and Matt make bugs from odds and ends in the kitchen. A dragon fly is made from a measuring spoon, a caterpillar from a bottle brush, a moth from a metal can opener and an ant from a plastic spoon. The story is "Mama Zooms". Through the windows we see a montage of different bugs.

Karen and Matt make an adventure playground for the toys. Kim and Lisa have a see saw, Humpty crawls through a cardboard tunnel and Jim rides on a space hopper. There is also a roller slide made from cardboard cylinders. A horse float is made, where the presenters build the axles using dowel. Through the windows there is a dance group.

Leah and Matt perform the story of "The Sock who wanted to Dance", using various socks and shoes as puppets in front of a black backdrop. They make a balloon duck with a cardboard bill, crepe paper wings and rubber glove feet. The animation "Jump and Jiggle" is shown. Through the windows there is a montage of things that are fast and slow.

Karen and Matt dress up in different paper clothes costumes. The presenters perform the story of "Tom's Trousers", using some of the paper costumes from before. A spinning mobile is made by attaching different pictures to cord and string and hanging them from a can. Through the windows there is a tow truck driver.
