Private Notes
The Out Of The Box gang talk about and do activities with their feet.
One of the kids brings in their pet mouse and the Out Of The Box gang plays out a story about a mouse. They also sing ""Hickory Dickory Dock.""
All of the out of the box gang except for Tony, go to the doctor for a check-up. They meet a doctor named doctor ""needle-beetle"" and the get the check-up from her. Doctor ""Needle-Beetle"" tells them they have ""stickeritus"" and that in order to get rid of the ""stickeritus"" they must dance.
The kids help Nicholas choose what pet he would like for his birthday.
Dane brings in a toy boat which inspires the group to make their own little boat out of some corks and toothpicks. Vivian finds a picture of a ship's captain in her picture box and everyone jumps in for an adventure. The kids jump out and make a pretend ship that they all fit in. They play out their own version of "Captain Hook" in which they sail to a far away island to rescue him.
Jill's new toy airplane breaks its wing, and Vivian comes to the rescue with her glue bottle. While the glue dries, the kids make toy parachutes out of paper cups and tissue. They sing a parachute song and play out their own version of "Peter Pan", in which Peter forgets how to fly and is rescued by a friendly eagle and a passing airplane.
The kids make a pretend ocean in the Box. They use fabric to make pretend waves and sand. Wondering what it must be like to live in the sea, Nick and Vivian look in her picture box and find a picture of a crab and an octopus. They jump in and learn to "go with the flow." They jump out and make ocean drums out of pie tins and play out their own seaside version of, "Puss In Boots."
Everyone is playing with hula hoops - but Aleisha can't seem to get it.
The kids discover all of the fun things you can do with tubes. They use mailing and paper towel tubes to make tube suits, tube instruments and play out a story about a place where everything is made out of tubes - tube town!
The kids explore life in the jungle by jumping into a picture to meet a tiger, a toucan, and a snake. They make jungle animal masks out of a paper towel roll and a milk carton. Together they play out a story explaining how the toucan got her rainbow beak.
The kids find a bunch of boxes left over from when they built their clubhouse. They make box music, a box birthday cake and a box candy house which they use to play out their own version of "Hansel And Gretel."
Everyone starts talking about monkeys, and then they sing about monkeys. Then, they ""jump into a picture"", and sing a song about doing what animals do (like how they move, what different sounds they make, and so on). After jumping out of the picture, they make animal masks. At the end, they play out a story about how the toucan got her rainbow beak.
Vivian has a tube,and she wants to get another tube, but she can't reach it, so she uses her long tube to get the other tubes down. That's when a bunch of tubes come falling down. So then, Cece makes a tube shaker, out of a paper towel roll (it's a tube), and rice. Vivian and Brandon make tube tubas. And Tony gives Dane a slide whistle. They get their tube instruments together and sing a tubey song to celebrate Tubes Day. They make tube suits and hats before playing another song; this one is about living in a tubular world. Finally, they play out a story about Tube Town.
Tony shares a camping song, and the kids go on a pretend hike. They make yard stick fishing poles, and catch paper fish. They pitch a pretend tent, and play out a pretend version of "Little Red Riding Hood."
A magnifying glass inspires the kids to make a tiny town out of milk cartons, dominoes, and a soap dish. They explore size as they play out their own version of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears."
It's a rainy day and the kids explore all the types of hats that protect our heads, and the different hats that tell us what jobs people do. They make their own hats and play out a new version of the story of "Chicken Little."
Aleisha teaches everyone some sign language and helps them discover how to make music with your hands. They make hand-painted paper mittens and use them to play out their own version of "The Three Little Kittens."
Brandon just had a check-up, so he pretends to be a Doctor. They jump into a picture of a doctor to find out more about check-ups. They jump out and pretend that their alligator puppet, Swampy, has a tummy ache and they take him to a pretend hospital. A cardboard box is transformed into an ambulance and they help to make swampy feel better.
Dane finds an old wagon that's missing a wheel - so everyone pitches in to find something that would make a good replacement. They transform the wagon into a fantastical vehicle that rescues their puppet, Pogo the Porcupine, who gets stuck in a pretend castle.
Tony accidentally sits in a chair that Vivian had just painted. The sticky paint makes the chair stick to Tony's pants. They all make a sticky face picture and sticky capes which they wear to play out a story about going on a sticky safari and meeting a sticky spider queen.
Tony plays his talking drum and everyone moves their feet to the beat. They make a hopscotch board to hop on and they also make foot paintings. Everyone takes a part as they play out their own version of "Cinderella."
