1. Squiggle/Shadow

20m

Wibbly is painting. He has painted a lion, a clown, a kite, a house and a flower! When he accidentally splashes the paper and then paints a squiggle to cover it, the squiggle comes to life and chases all around the paper changing the painting he has already done! Suddenly the clown has a bow tie the kite has a tail and a squiggly sun shines over the house it's all that cheeky squiggle! Then we discover how to start a picture with a squiggle! Wibbly is making shadows on the wall in the moonlight. He shows us how his own shadow copies everything he does but then his shadow seems to get ideas of its own! It runs all around the room, up and down and all around! Then it changes into a spotty shadow, a stripy shadow even a zig zaggy shadow! When will this naughty shadow start behaving itself... actually... this is more fun, and Wibbly and his shadows perform the Super Shadow Show! Then a cloud comes across the moon, the light fades and the shadows disappear.

2. Castle/Flowerpots

20m

Wibbly has arranged an array of large cardboard boxes and made his very own castle. The thing is, there is a Dragon inside, hiding in its lair. We decide to go with him to find it. Along the way we meet the King and his Wizard, and both are worried about this dragon, its long claws and scales and its fiery breath. Finally we venture into the dungeons and find... a very small lovely dragon making toast! Wibbly knew all along! Wibbly is planting a seed at least he's trying to, if that cheeky bird doesn't eat them all first! He has no idea what it might grow in to. A daisy, or a tree, or a Pigley tree! Once it is settled deep in the soil we watch it to see what happens but it takes ages! Day after day there is still no green shoot, until we imagine what it is going to be perhaps a great big beanstalk that provides curly slides and swings! In the end the seed pokes out the smallest of shoots and we learn from the packet that it will grow up to be a sunflower.

3. Wibbly Can't Sleep/Cushion Mountain

20m

Wibbly can't sleep. It doesn't matter if he turns this way or that way, or if he turns the light off or keeps the light on he just can't sleep! We try singing him a lullaby but he gets distracted by the idea that there might be bed bugs biting him! If only the bed wasn't so lumpy! And if only he could find Pigley... we look all around with no luck and then get back into the lumpy bed...hang on... that lump looks Pigley shaped! It is! It's Pigley! Night night Wibbly! Wibbly can't sleep. It doesn't matter how hard he tries he can't get comfy on this cushion. So he tries two cushions but still he can't get comfy. More and more cushions get added on, until he has made a cushion mountain! We try to help him sleep by singing him a lullaby but in the end it takes some energetic bouncing to tire him out! As he drifts off to sleep the mountain is covered with snow and there are footprints made by a yeti!
