In Elmo’s colorful and fun world, every day is a chance to learn something new. Today is extra special because it’s Dorothy’s birthday! Let’s find out how Elmo and his friends celebrate birthdays and learn about wrapping gifts.
Birthdays are special days when we celebrate the day someone was born. We have parties, give gifts, and enjoy yummy birthday cakes. Elmo and his friends show us how to wrap presents and why birthday cakes are important.
Wrapping a present is like dressing it up for a party! Here’s how you can do it:
Elmo and Mr. Noodle show us how to wrap gifts, making sure to use just the right amount of tape and paper.
Elmo learns that kids wrap gifts in different ways. Some use gift bags, and others add bows and decorations. This shows how everyone celebrates birthdays in their own special way.
Counting candles on a birthday cake is fun! Elmo counts seven candles and wonders how many elephants it would take to blow them out. This helps us practice counting while having fun!
Elmo discovers that living things like ponies and fish have birthdays, but things like telephones and trash cans do not. This helps us understand more about the world around us.
Birthdays are not just about cake and presents. They are a time for family and friends to come together and celebrate. Elmo shares a story about his friend Hampton, who baked a cake for his mom’s birthday. This shows how birthdays bring people together to make happy memories.
Elmo watches the “Birthday Channel” to learn about birthday traditions from around the world. In Iceland, they have special pancakes, and in Mexico, they have piñatas. This shows us that while everyone celebrates birthdays, they do it in different ways.
At the end of the day, Elmo and his friends sing the “Happy Birthday” song. Birthdays are a time to be happy, learn new things, and celebrate with the people we love. Elmo’s World teaches us that birthdays are special for everyone, no matter where they are in the world!
