- My favorite one is the little turtle.

And then there's the little dog and that little chair, and then I've got the rocks and I've got the dinosaurs, oh!

I just love little things.

(cheering and applauding) - Oh man, so fun, friends!

Hey, how are you?

Good to see you!

So, got a question for you.

Let's go first to Stephanie.

Hey Stephanie!

I was wondering, if you were made tiny for one day, what would you do?

- Oh, so fun!

I think that I would like to go into a flower garden or a field of flowers and see what it's like to have the grass, you know, being large around me and then climbing up a flower, and all the different flowers that there would be.

I think that would be fun to explore.

- That'd be amazing.

If you were like on the top of the flower and the wind started to blow though, would you be like, no!

- And then maybe I would even jump onto a butterfly or a bird, and then experience what it would be like to fly!

- Oh my goodness, I love it!

Thanks Miss Stephanie.

All right, Brody, same question for you.

- Um, I think I would like to jump off a tree and glide on a leaf.

- Oh, can you imagine just like, wee!

Would you rely on the wind though?

Or would you wanna have some type of, like it be like a, just go where the leaf takes you?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Cool.

Thanks Brody!

Love it.

Hey, Lucy!

What about you?

- Hi Wimee.

Um, you know, this week, there's an article in NPR of a photographer that takes pictures of bacteria and it's so beautiful.

And I think I would like to go little and then take a picture and bring a camera, and take pictures of the bacteria.

When they grow, they make really beautiful, beautiful structures that looks like sponges.

- Oh, that would be amazing!

That's like the tiniest of all so far!

Oh!

And then you could get on the leaf with Brody, and then the leaf could land by Stephanie with the butterfly in the tree!

- Oh!

Great idea!

Nothing better than going on an adventure with friends.

- I love it.

Thanks Lucy!

We'll see you later on the show.

Okay, friends, I want to sing!

And I need some help.

Share something.

Believe it or not, share something big!

Watch, watch, ready?

Okay.

Hey Lucy, what about you?

Something big.

- Yeah, something big, a mushroom.

Do you know that a mushroom is the biggest organism in the world?

- What?!

- Yeah!

- It's the biggest living organism in the world, a mushroom here in Michigan!

- How so?

What do you mean?

Like where?

- It's underground!

So it's big.

So mushroom!

Mushroom.

- I had no idea!

I gotta research this more.

Thanks, Lucy.

Anyways, friends, it's time to find out what Moby's gonna teach us today.

What's he gonna share?

(upbeat music playing) - I'm looking for ants.

Yeah, I've noticed that ants are pretty small.

Yeah, and they seem to be really hard workers!

They're always moving, they're so fast!

Yeah, especially for having such tiny legs.

I wonder how large everything must seem to an ant?

I try to imagine being the size of an ant, and I picture just how huge I must seem.

Yeah.

Even babies would be a giant to ant!

Or a house, or a skyscraper!

Oh man, those must be huge!

I wonder what it's like in all those tunnels that ants can make.

Yeah.

Do they have houses down underground?

Hm.

Would you like to visit an ant?

(upbeat music playing) - I think I would like to be an ant.

Inspired by things our friends said today, right?

Ants could hop on the leaf, but then the, you know what?

The bacteria probably look up into the ant and they're like, that ant is so big!

Oh man.

It's all about perspective, you know?

Well friends, it's time for today's one, two, Three Sentence Story.

Let's write a story in three sentences.

In the first sentence, I'll set the scene.

In the second sentence, there is a problem!

(Wimee cries) But don't worry friends, because in the third sentence, there is a solution.

Ba ba ba!

Hey, let's go to Miss Stephanie for today's very first word.

Share with us a person, place or thing.

Miss Stephanie, any word at all.

Ooh, I can tell you've already got a word ready, don't you?

- Well, I have a couple that I'm thinking about.

So it's just choosing which one.

- Hm.

Okay.

- I will go with watermelon.

(Wimee gasps) - Watermelon!

- There are little tiny seeds inside it.

(Wimee gasps) - So true!

And that big watermelon grows from that tiny little seed.

- Yes!

- Okay.

I got it.

Okay.

This morning, I planted a seed in hopes to grow a watermelon.

There's the start of our story.

Seems simple.

You know, I'm outside, gonna grow a watermelon.

All right, let's go to Brody for the second word, any word at all, Brody.

It's gonna be the problem.

Keep me on my toes here.

What you got?

- Frying Pan.

- Frying pan?

Hmm.

Problem with, okay.

Have you ever had a problem with a frying pan?

- Uh, once my brother hit me with the frying pan on accident.

- Oh my!

Okay, ah.

Whew!

You scared me with what you were, okay.

An accident, that's good, okay, we'll talk later about that.

That Brock!

Watch out with that frying pan, buddy.

Okay, there we go, Wimage board, let's see here, here we go.

So, start of the story.

This morning, I planted a seed in hopes to grow a watermelon.

Up in the sky, a giant flying frying pan was blocking the sun!

No!

How's the watermelon gonna grow?

Hmm.

I'll think about this.

Ha!

Wimage board, that's so cool!

You've got like, a watermelon sun!

Hmm, that's an interesting twist.

What if the frying pan goes boof!

Knocked the watermelon down over.

Actually, the watermelon should be down in the ground.

Maybe, or, I'm gonna go with the watermelon sun.

Oh, bee!

The bee is the solution!

Okay.

(Wimee clears throat) Thanks, Miss Sarah.

This morning, I planted a seed in hopes of growing a watermelon.

Out in the sky, a giant frying pan was blocking the sun!

I called my friend Miss Bee to grab that frying pan, and pull it over to Brody's house.

(Wimee laughs) Make sure Brock doesn't get a hold of that, though, Brody, 'cause that could be a big accident if it was a giant frying pan!

And look at that, there's the watermelon!

In the sky!

Woohoo!

We did it, friends!

My friend Miss Bee saved the day, and we're growing watermelons.

All right, Wimage board, we'll check back with you later to see other inspiration you create during the show.

Friends, guess what?

Our friends at the Itty Bitty Mini Mart from Chicago sent us some footage of some really cool teeny, mini things.

Check this out, it's time for That's So Cool!

Not only did we get to see that cool miniature little stuff, but the artists from Itty Bitty Mini Mart are here, it's time for my friends!

(electronic music playing) Hi guys!

- [Margie] Hi!

- [Lucy] Hi!

- [Brian] Hello!

- Oh, man, okay, okay, so we got, we got Brian, hi Brian!

- Hi!

- And we got Margie, hi Margie!

- Hi!

- And Lucy!

- Hi!

- Hi Lucy!

Wait a minute, where's Wendy?

- Right here!

- Oh!

Is that, wait, is that really Wendy?

- Wendy couldn't be here today.

(Wimee laughs) - So we made her.

- You made Wendy!

Wow!

(Wimee laughs) - So, you are the artist who made what we just saw?!

- Yes.

- Wow!

So anyone of you, what inspires all this, how do you do this?

- Well, we are artists, we are woodworkers, we're sculptors, we like small things, and always have, each one of us independently in different ways have used small things in our art.

And we came together as a group of miniature lovers and created the Itty Bitty Mini Mart, so that other people could make their own art with their tiny thing that maybe they're not, they don't feel like they can make themselves.

- Thank you, Joseph!

- So cool.

Yeah, Joe, there's our friend Joe, right, he's impressed and I'm impressed.

So, how do you start?

What is, is it made out of wood or different materials?

- Different materials.

- We use a little bit of everything, we use wood, we use plastic, we use acrylic, we use clay, we use polymers, we use metal, we use found objects, we use a lot of different stuff.

- Wow!

That's awesome.

So awesome.

Now, when you create this stuff, who do you make it for?

Do you think of someone in particular, or people, or just, how do you, what's the inspiration?

- Well there's actually several people who are collecting dolls, collecting barbies, they can make scenes out of our objects, or anybody who wants something that reminds them of their childhood, or something like that, or somebody who wants to make a gift for a special someone.

- Or a rock video.

- Or a rock video, or music video and animation.

Everything is possible, we have a lot of questions from everyone, actually!

- [Wimee] Wow, those are little stereos!

That's like an old school, like 1980s, 1990s kind of, like, I notice on your website you can even get some 1980s inspired mystery packs.

- Yes.

- [Wimee] Guitar amplifier!

- Yes.

- Wow.

Ah, I love it so much!

- We made this, I drew it in the computer, and then we cut the shape out on the laser.

Out of wood.

- [Wimee] It's a clothespin!

(all three laughing) Yeah!

No, it's so cool!

And Lucy painted it.

- [Wimee] Ooh, could I talk, is it a wolf or a dog, or?

- It's a shadow puppet.

- Oh!

- Our logo is a hand.

(Wimee gasps) - Oh yeah!

I recognize that now!

I didn't, I saw it small but seeing it so big.

Could Smiley give some viewers at home some advice?

For how to start?

- Uh, don't, maybe you should do the voice.

(all three laughing) Yeah, don't give up!

Just start something, you've gotta start somewhere!

- [Lucy] Dream small, do small things!

- Yeah, dream small!

- Oh, dream small!

(Wimee laughs) - Yeah, it's important if you find something that you wanna make, then figure out how to do it.

- Awesome.

Well, friends, thank you so much for showing us and inspiring us, and will you stick around and play a game with us in a little bit?

- [Margie] Yes!

- [Lucy] Yes!

- All right!

So great, thanks Brian, Margie, Lucy and little Wendy, who was kinda, sorta there, too.

(Wimee laughs) That was amazing!

Okay friends, it's time for a joke with our buddy, Siblee.

(children cheering) - Why couldn't the pony sing?

- [Wimee] I don't know, why couldn't the pony sing?

- Because he was a little 'hoarse'!

(Siblee laughs) What?

I don't understand this, why?

Ponies can sing, right?!

(children cheering) - Little hoarse!

(Wimee chuckles) Anyways, anyways, okay.

Okay friends, take a deep breath, breathe in.

(Wimee inhaling) Hold it.

(Wimee exhaling) It's time for Slowing Down.

(soft guitar music playing) Breathe in.

(Wimee inhales) Hold it.

And out.

(Wimee exhales) There was a cool happy snowman in there.

Hey friends, we love books.

Time for Check Out This Book.

(upbeat music playing) - Hi!

Miss Lisa here, and I have someone with me today.

- Hi, I'm Ramona.

- Romona is helping me today as we talk today about little things.

In particular, dollhouse people.

Because they're definitely little people and little tiny things, right?

Ramona and I read this book quite a few years ago, and we're gonna tell you a little bit about This Is My Dollhouse.

Illustrated and written by Giselle Potter.

Published by Schwartz and Wade Books, an imprint of Randomhouse children's books.

In this book, we meet this little girl, and she has this incredible imagination and such a beautiful homemade dollhouse.

What are some of your favorite parts about it?

- She has an elevator made out of a paper cup, and all of the characters are different, like, there's a grandma that's a mouse, a dad that's a bear, and they're all different.

- She takes a little tiny bottle cap and rolls up little bits of toilet paper or tissue, and makes a little bowl of popcorn for her stuffed animals.

It's this wonderfully creative house of little things.

In this book, she goes to a friend's house, and she's a little nervous because her friend has a perfect dollhouse.

Everything is made for dolls, everything is exact, all pre-made.

And she's a little afraid to have her friend over to see her dollhouse that's kind of bits and bobs of everything around her house.

Do you think her friend will like it?

Or her friend won't like it?

She's a little bit nervous, you need to read this book and find out!

Tell them one of the things that we did after we read this.

- After we read the book, we found a cardboard box and we created our own dollhouse with things that we found around our house.

- It was so fun!

I thought it was kind of a neat idea and thought they would do it, and they just went wild!

And the best part was, all the little tiny things they used were ideas of their own in ways I never had thought to use some of the little items we had around our house, the way they repurposed things.

This is a really fun book about little things.

Check out This Is My Dollhouse and make your own little things collection.

Bye guys!

(upbeat music playing) - I don't know if you noticed, but that was the same thing our friends at the Itty Bitty Mini Mart do!

Gotta check out that book for sure!

Hey friends, play along with us.

It's time to play I Can Find Inside My Mind!

(upbeat music playing) Oho!

Ready Lucy?

Ready Brody?

Ooh, Miss Stephanie, is Miss Stephanie joining us too?

There she is.

Okay friends are we ready?

I can find inside my mind something shaped like a nickel.

- Well, a nickel is round, so is it a penny?

- It's a penny!

A teeny little penny!

Yep.

Your turn, Miss Steph.

- I can find inside my mind something that is crunchy.

- Ooh, crunchy.

- And is it little?

- Yes.

- A little cucumber!

- Yes!

(Lucy cheers) - Little cucumbers!

- I can find inside my mind something that is yellow.

- Is it a flower?

- Yes!

Sunflower!

- Oh, nice.

- Red, is it an apple?

- Yes!

- An apple!

Ha!

Okay, I can find inside my mind something that is gigantic!

- Is it a mountain?

- Nope.

- Oh.

A whale?

Which is a bit like a mountain, so.

Is it bigger than a mountain?

- Depends on the size of the mountain.

- A really big mountain.

- Yeah.

- Our imaginations?

- Imaginations!

I'm gonna go with that, ding ding ding!

(Wimee chuckles) I was just playing with you, Miss Steph.

- That was good, I like it.

I can find inside my mind something that is cold.

- Cold?

- What do you think, Lucy?

- I'm thinking, erm, what if it's a snowball?

- Yes, that is cold.

- Oh, fun, fun, fun!

- Oh, that's cool!

I can find inside my mind something that is rough.

- Ooh, rough.

- [Brody] A brick?

- Hmm, yes!

A brick is rough!

- I love it!

I love it, well friends, thanks for playing Find It Fast!

We got more to do, this is a jam packed show, I love it, so much going on!

Let's go check in with the Wimage board.

Wimage board, what have you created so far?

Wow.

(Wimee gasps) Look at those ants!

And they're all on the butterfly wings with Miss Stephanie!

And the watermelon's down below!

Those things are so teeny, I've gotta look closer.

What do I see?

I see some little things.

I think the Itty Bitty Mini Mart helped make some little things on the screen there.

(Wimee chuckles) That's so fun.

I like the border, it's like a frame!

Ooh, and there's a plane, itty bitty little plane!

Wait a minute, that's so cool, the little plane is gonna go!

I think the butterfly is high up in the sky, and the plane is down below, and the ants and the watermelon, great job Wimage board.

I like it.

Hey, let's do this.

So friends, we didn't get to Find It Fast yet, so let's play Find It Fast!

(upbeat music playing) We gotta find something that starts with L, something little, and something you like.

Hmm, what starts with L?

Lasagne?

Anybody have lasagne?

Hmm, Miss Stephanie, what did you find?

- I found a little lion, and it has an L on it.

(Wimee gasps) - It's perfect!

- Thank you!

And I like chap stick.

- Ohoh!

It is kind of a little thing.

Yeah, nice job!

Good job.

Miss Lucy!

- Wimee, I couldn't find anything so I got a helper.

- Okay.

- Helper, come here!

(Wimee gasps) My helper found this.

- What is it?

Lentils?

- Lentils.

- I love lentils!

- They're little.

- Yeah!

- They start with an L. - And I like 'em.

- And you like 'em!

Mmm!

I love Columbian lentil, my recipe's the best.

But lentils are good, they're a legume, a bean?

I forget.

Brody, what did you find?

- So I have a bunch of little things.

- Okay.

- I have a little mug, a little dog, a little jar.

- Whoa.

- A little yo-yo.

- Whoa!

- And a little soldier.

- Wow!

- But I have a trifecta.

I have a little Lego piece.

- That's so cool, I love it.

Thanks Brody.

Hey, we gotta go now to the Itty Bitty Mini Mart and see what found.

Do you happen to have anything little around there?

- [Margie] Hmm!

(Wimee laughs) We have tiny little lemons!

(Wimee gasps) - Tiny lemons!

What?!

They start with L!

Do you like lemons?

- I like lemons.

Lucy, what does Lucy have?

- And as another Lucy, I also have a bag of lentils.

- [Wimee] Double lentils!

Yes!

- [Lucy] How crazy!

- Nice.

Brian, did you find anything?

- I found- - Wow, look there's lentils, Lucy!

- A little lemon bar.

- A lemon bar!

- [Lucy] That our friend made.

- [Wimee] Nice!

So fun!

I love it, friends!

Thanks so much for sharing the cool things that you've found!

Lucy and Lucy and Margie and Brian and Brody and Miss Stephanie and Jim and Wimage board, woohoo!

Let's get ready to dance, it's time to finish up the show, you guys were so much fun!

Oh man, I'm so inspired.

I'm gonna go build something teeny with things that I find, and see what I can keep.

Oh man, I'm just inspired by so many things that you all have created!

Yeah!

Go Lucy, go Brody!
