The Melon Patch. Let's learn about all things squishy. Hi, it's me, Miss Appleberry, and it's squishy day at the melon patch. Squish. Squish. Squeeze. Squishy things are so fun. Did you know that when you play with something squishy, you're using your sense of touch? Our bodies have five different senses. You can see with your eyes. You can touch with your hands. You can smell with your nose. You can taste with your mouth. And you can hear with your ears. Did you hear that crunch?

And there's a song about using all five of your senses. Do you want to sing it with me? Great. I've got a song. Let's sing along. We all have five senses. Hearing, sight, and smell. We all have five senses. Touch and taste as well. This sounds high and squeaky. A rubber duck. It's fun to hear with our ears. This looks red and spotty. Lots of spots like polka dots. A ladybug.

It's fun to look with our eyes. This feels wet and squishy. It's slime. It's fun to feel with our hands. This tastes sour and tangy. A lemon. It's fun to taste with our mouth. This smells sweet and yummy. Cinnamon rolls. It's fun to smell with our noses. Yeah, we all have five senses. Hearing, sight, and smell. We all have five senses. Touch and taste as well.

Hello, my little doodle bugs. It's me, Mr. Doodad. Are you ready for a make along with me? Yeah. Let's pick a material. That's where we'll start because anything can make great art. Bingo zingo. It's finger paints. Oh, wow. Instead of paint for a paintbrush, it's paint for your fingers. Oh, and when I squeeze it like this, it feels squishy. Sickity z. I see it now. I can draw an orange circle.

Wow. There we go. Oh, yeah. Let's get some yellow cuz it's a sun. A big sun. Oh, and let's add a red square right here. There we go. Okay. Wow. And oh, let's add a blue triangle. Okay, here we go. Blue right on top there. Does that look like a house? Oh, we need to add some green grass. There.

We painted a picture with our fingers. Should we do something super silly and mush it all up in a squishy squashy mess? Yeah. Oh, let's do it. Wait, I can't see you. There you are. This was such a fun and squishy time. Oh, finger paints are so fun. What can you make? Toodaloo doodlebugs.

I am squishing this dough to make a pizza. Oh, did you hear that? That wasn't my tummy. Jelly Bean, was that your tummy? Jelly Bean is really hungry. We better make this pizza fast. I'm squishing it. Squish. Squish. I'm squashing it. And even poking it. This is so fun. Let's stretch it. Whoa. And oh, we can roll it out.

Now we can toss it in the air to stretch it even bigger. Yeah. Okay. Ready? Let's count. One, two, three. Oh, where did it go? Here it is. Now I think we're ready for some sauce. Swirl that around. Good. And some yummy cheese. Okay. And now off to bake. All done.

That was so fast. Oo, but it's a little bit hot. Can you help me blow on it to cool it down? Mhm. Ready? One, two, three, blow. Ooh, this cheese is ooey, gooey, stretchy. Don't worry, Jelly Bean. I have a special pizza just for you with carrots and lettuce, your favorite. Oh, mmm, pizzas are so yummy, and the melted cheese is so squishy. Thank you for helping me turn our squishy dough into delicious pizza.

Hello. Let's go. Let's have some fun. It's time for Explore Along. Hi explorers. It's me, Mr. Acorn. Are you ready to explore along with me today? And the grass is green and the sky is blue. It's time for exploring with me and you. Do you want to find some squishy squashy mud to play with? Yeah. Found some. I love playing in the mud. First, should we stomp in it and make it squish, squash, and splash?

Yeah. Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp. Squish, squish, squish, squish, squish, squish, squish. Now, should we grab it with our hands and squeeze it? Yeah. Oh, it's cold and goopy. Did you know that mud is dirt and water mixed together? Should we make something out of this mud? I know. A mud pie. Yeah. Actually, a mud cake. Yeah. No, a mud mountain. This mud mountain is perfect for stomping.

Yeah. Well, thanks for exploring in the mud with me today, explorers. See you next time. Rain or shine. Yeah.

Hola. Hi. It's me, Nina. I'm so happy you're here. Guess what I have to show you. It's ooey and goopy and spoopy. It's slime. It makes funny sounds. Want to make slime sounds with me? Ready? You sound funny. And it stretches. I can't see you. Peekaboo. But my favorite thing to do with slime is squish it between my fingers and then stick it right here.

Look, our slime is smiling. Thanks for playing amigos. That means goodbye friends.

Did you hear that? That means there's something inside our melon learning box. What's inside? What's inside? What's inside the learning box? Let's look and see. Oh, boxes. The melon learning box surprises me every time. Let's see. Ooh, this box is sticky. It must be for sticky things. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. This box is very slippery. It must be for slippery things. Woo.

And what about this box? Yeah, this box is for squishy things. Oh, I have an idea. Let's play a game. Let's feel different things to see if they're sticky, slippery, or squishy, and put them in the right box. Will you help me? Yay! Okay, we have. Oh, look, a little sticker. This sticker is very good at sticking to things. I wonder if it goes in the slippery box. Oh, hi Naomi. You're right. The sticker doesn't belong in the slippery box. How about the squishy box? Nay.

Right again, Naomi. Stickers aren't squishy. How about the sticky box? Yeah. Stickers belong in the sticky box. Good job. Yay. Whoa. Whoa. It's a bar of soap. It's slipping and sliding right out of my hands. Where are you going, soap? Does the soap belong in the squishy box? Nay. That's right, Naomi.

Whoa. Soap is not squishy. Does the soap belong in the slippery box? That's right. Woo! Soap is very slippery. It belongs in the slippery box. Okay, last one. What about this ball? It's really mushy. This is fun. Does the ball belong in the squishy box? Yep, that's right. The ball goes in the squishy box. Yay! We did it. We sorted all of the objects in the right box.

Let's celebrate.

And they're making cookies. Mmm. It's slime. That's the messiest, squishiest thing there is, but so much fun to squeeze. Is that cake icing? Icing is very soft and smushy and sweet. Mmm, yum, yum, yum. And look, bananas. A yummy squishy snack. There's so many squishy things to squish, and it's so much fun to squish them with you.

Boba really likes you. I like you, too. Thanks for playing with me and thanks for being my friend.

Hey movers and shakers, it's me, Miss Twist. Are you ready to get up and move along with me? Today we're going to move like squishy things. The movement melon is going to tell us what squishy thing we're going to move like first. It's spinning. It's jelly. Can you wiggle and jiggle like jelly with me? Wiggle your arms. Now wiggle your legs. Whoa. Now wiggle your whole body and jiggle. Nice jiggling. Let's see what's next. It's spinning. It's a bouncy ball.

Can you bounce like a squishy bouncy ball with me? Bounce, bounce, bounce again. Bounce, bounce, bounce. Last one movement, melon, it's spinning. It's slime. Can you stretch like sticky stretchy slime with me? Stretch nice and long. Other way. Stretch. Stretch. Stretch. Now stretch both arms out super wide. Thank you for wiggling and bouncing and stretching with me. It's time to go. Wave your hands up high.

Now wave them down low. Now wave goodbye and away we go. Bounce, bounce, bounce.

Oh, Jelly Bean, you look sleepy. Do you need to take a nap? Let's find Jelly Bean a comfy, cozy, squishy place to take a nap in the melon patch. Oh, here, Jelly Bean. You can sleep on this squishy table. I'm being silly. This table is not comfy or squishy. It's hard. Not a good place for sleeping. Let's keep looking. How about this? So quiet and comfy. Oh, you're right, Jelly Bean. You don't want to sleep on a xylophone. Okay, I'm going to find you a really squishy place to sleep.

How about this pond? Oh, you're right, Jelly Bean. Ponds are wet, not squishy. Not a good place to sleep. I've found the perfect squishy bed for Jelly Bean. The bean bag chair. We did it. We helped Jelly Bean find a squishy place to take a nap. Jelly Bean's asleep.

I had so much fun using our five senses to play and learn with you today. We especially got to use our sense of touch and explore so many squishy things. We made squishy squishy finger paintings with Mr. Doodad, squished in the mud with Mr. Acorn, and moved our bodies in jiggly dances with Miss Twist. I know JJ and Nina had a squishy squashy fun time playing with you, too. But now it's time to say goodbye. Do you want to sing the goodbye song with me? Let's sing it together. Goodbye. Goodbye. Bye-bye to the melon patch. Goodbye. Goodbye. Bye.

Bye. Bye. Goodbye. Goodbye. Bye. Bye. Goodbye. Goodbye. Bye. Bye. See you next time.
