Hi there! Today, we’re going to have a super fun time making sounds and crafts. Are you ready? Let’s go!
♪ Jars are popping ♪ Markers are squeaking ♪ Brushes are tapping ♪ Doors are creaking ♪ Most things make a sound. Let’s give it a try! ♪
We can pull tape, snip it with scissors, and shake googly eyes to make all sorts of fun sounds. Let’s dance and wiggle while we create some crafty sounds! ♪
Hi, I’m Baby Box! Today, we’re going to make a puzzle. Do you want to join me? Here’s what we need: wooden sticks, tape, markers, glue, and any decorations you like.
First, line up the wooden sticks and tape them together. Now, turn them over and draw a picture. You can draw anything you want! Use your markers to add colors and your glue to stick on decorations. Ta-da! You’ve made a puzzle picture!
Now, take the tape off and mix the sticks around. Can you put the puzzle back together? Let’s try!
Let’s make something fun with paper cups! You can make a kitty cup with polka dots or stripes. Use paint, glue, and googly eyes to decorate your cup. Don’t forget to add ears and a tail with pipe cleaners. What kind of kitty will you make?
Did you know you can make a lion out of food? Let’s try it! Use a bowl of veggie dip for the face, black olives for eyes, and red pepper for the nose and mouth. For the lion’s mane, use lots of orange pepper sticks. Add cucumber ears, and there you have it—a yummy lion snack!
Let’s make peekaboo kitty paper dolls! Take a big piece of paper and fold it like an accordion. Draw a kitty shape with a round bottom, arms, and a head with ears. Cut it out while the paper is folded, and when you open it, all the kitties will be holding hands! Decorate them with paint, jewels, and pom-poms. They’re ready for a party!
Let’s make a purr stick! You’ll need a paper towel roll, some foil, and sprinkles. Decorate the roll with paint and close one end with felt and a rubber band. Put the foil and sprinkles inside, then close the other end. Now shake it to make a purring sound. It’s so much fun!
Thanks for crafting with me today! I hope you had a great time making sounds and creating fun things. See you next time!
Sound Hunt Adventure: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom! Listen carefully and try to find different objects that make interesting sounds. Can you find something that pops, squeaks, or taps? Once you’ve found some objects, try to mimic the sounds they make using your voice or other items. Share your favorite sound with a friend and see if they can guess what it is!
Musical Craft Parade: Create your own musical instrument using everyday items. You can use a paper cup, rubber bands, and a few beans to make a shaker, or try using a cardboard box and some rubber bands to make a guitar. Once you’ve made your instrument, have a mini parade with your friends and play your instruments together. How many different sounds can you make?
Sound Story Time: Think of a short story or a scene, like a day at the park or a trip to the zoo. Use different objects to create sound effects for your story. For example, use a paper towel roll to make a wind sound or tap two sticks together for footsteps. Share your sound story with your family or classmates and see if they can guess what happens in your story just by listening to the sounds!

It’s me, Baby Box. Today, I’m going to show you how to make your very own puzzle. Oh! Can I help? I love a good puzzle. [giggles] Sure! To make the puzzle, we need wooden sticks, tape, markers, some trusty glue, and any other little decorations you want to use. The wooden sticks are going to be our puzzle pieces.
Cool! -First, you need to line the sticks up… -Doin’ it! [Baby Box] …and tape them together so you can draw a picture on it. Now turn your wooden sticks over so you can draw your picture. You can draw anything you want. -I’m going to draw you, DJ Catnip. -Oh. -Well, make sure you get my good side. -[giggles] [Baby Box] Some red for DJ’s hood. Some purple for the face and the legs. A little green. And there! Now I’m going to use my trusty glue stick to add some decorations. -Boop. -Aw, yeah! And I’ll draw some music notes. Boop, boop, boop. [Baby Box] Boop. Ta-da! Wait. Is that a puzzle or a mirror? [both laugh]
Now comes the puzzle part. Take the tape off the back of the sticks and mix all the sticks around. Now we get to put the puzzle back together. Let’s start with this piece, with the green pom-pom. Then add this one to match up with your stripey leg. [DJ Catnip] Ooh. This one has some more stripey legs and some of my hood on it. And this one has my eye on it. [Baby Box] This one matches with your red, sparkly hood. Ooh! This one goes here. And the last piece goes right… here! [DJ Catnip] Ta-da! I’m all back together again! Man, I love this puzzle! Me too. I can’t wait to see what you make with your puzzle. Bye!
We’re trying to come up with things to make with these paper cups. Any ideas? Um… Oh! I have a craft-y-riffic idea. Hang on. One of these, a couple of these… [giggles] …my trusty glue stick, and… Cutty-cutty!… this goes here. Ta-da! Oh, it’s a paper-cup Pandy. Paw-tastic! Wow, Pandy! That looks just like you. Hey, Pandy. What googly eyes you have. I love it. Thanks, Baby Box. [Baby Box giggles]
Okay, everybody, grab a cup and let’s get crafting. I’m gonna use this cup to make a Baby Box kitty cup. It’s got polka dots, just like me. Yay! Who are you going to make, Baby Box? I’m gonna make a Mama Box kitty cup for my mama. I’m gonna make the Gabby Cat who lives in the bedroom and has colorful stripes. Can you guess who that is? Pillow Cat, yeah! I’m using yellow paint to make Mama Box’s dress. And I’m painting the top of my cup pink to match Baby Box’s hair. Okay. Now let’s cut out some triangles for the ears. Cutty-cutty! Then, grab your trusty glue stick and glue them on. Boop. Boop. Time to add the face. I’m gonna use… googly eyes for Pillow Cat. [Gabby laughs] Rosy cheeks for Baby Box. Hmm. I need something long and skinny to make a kitty tail. What should I use? The pipe cleaners, yeah! This is the perfect pipe cleaner for Pillow Cat’s tail. Ta-da! -What do you think? -Wow! These kitty cups are craft-y-riffic! Thanks for showing us how to make them, Baby Box. -You’re welcome.
Did you know you can make safari animals out of food? It’s true. And Cakey here is gonna show you how to make my favorite safari animal. A lion. Roar! Roar! Hello. With a little help from my pal, Parrot. Bawk! A lion. Roar! [giggles] Parrot really likes lions. Bawk! I love lions. I love lions. See? And to make our lion, we could use… a bowl of veggie dip. Ooh! Veggie dip. This is going to be the lion’s face. You’ll see. Let’s add two black olive eyes. Boop, boop. [Parrot] Bawk! Two black olive eyes. A little red pepper nose and mouth. [Parrot] Bawk! Red pepper nose. Red pepper mouth. Now, for the lion’s mane, we need lots and lots of orange pepper sticks. Bawk! Lots and lots. [Cakey giggles] -Boop! -Bawk! -[Cakey laughs] -[Parrot] Orange pepper sticks. -Orange pepper sticks. -[Cakey] Wow! It really looks like a lion, right? And now for the finishing touch. Two cucumber ears. Boop. Boop. Bawk! It’s a lion. Roar! [giggles] Want to give it a try, Parrot? Mm! It’s delicious. It’s delicious. Mm-mm! A roaring-good dip. -Roaring good. Roar! -[giggles] Thanks for making a lion safari snack with me. -Bye-bye. -Bye. -Happy Purrsday! -[both] Happy Purrsday, Baby Box! ♪ Meow! ♪ [giggles] I’m so excited! I’ve been waiting for Purrsday all week, and it’s finally here! Look! Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Purrsday! The biggest cat party of the year! I love the Purrsday peekaboo kitty you drew. Oh! That’s part of my special Purrsday surprise. I made a whole bunch of peekaboo-kitty paper dolls. I’m going to hang them all around the music room for the big cat party. Those are paw-tastic! Thanks! You want me to show you how to make them? Yeah! Me too. I don’t know how to make peekaboo kitties yet, but I’d love to try. Hooray! Let’s get crafting. [giggles]
To make peekaboo-kitty paper dolls, you start with a big piece of paper. Fold your paper accordion-style. Under, over, under, over. Now you draw your peekaboo kitty. Just follow me. Make a big, round shape at the bottom, and you go up to make the arm. Oh! And this is an important part. You got to let the arm go all the way to the edge of the paper, like this. Then curve up to make the head and the little kitty ears. Then down to the other arm. Ta-da! -Ta-da! -Ta-da! Now you keep your paper folded and cut out your kitty. Cutty, cutty! This is my favorite sound. [scissors snipping] And when it’s all cut out… we get to open it up. I love this part! Let’s all do it together on the count of three. [Hamster Kitties squeaking] [chuckles] Aww! The Hamster Kitties want to see too! OK. Ready? One, two, three… Go! -[Baby Box gasps] -It worked! All the peekaboo kitties are holding hands. [giggles] Now let’s give them kitty faces. -Two little kitty eyes… -[Hamster Kitty] Ooh! -…a kitty nose… -[Hamster Kitty gasps] -…and a happy kitty mouth. -[Hamster Kitty] Ooh! Now you can decorate your peekaboo kitties with paint, jewels, pom-poms, whatever you want. They’re so colorful. -[Pandy] Ooh! -[Baby Box giggles] [Gabby] It’s like they’re dressed up for Purrsday. I’m going to take our peekaboo kitties to the music room and hang them up for the Purrsday party. OK, OK! I’ve got something special for you today. It’s a DJ Catnip purr stick! [purr stick rattling] Purr! I love that sound. And I’m going to show you how to make one. You ready? All right! The first thing you’ll need is a paper-towel roll. You can decorate yours any way you like. I painted mine with some funky stripes, just like mine! ♪ Wiggly-wiggly-wig! ♪ Ha-ha-ha! Now we got to close up one end with this piece of felt and rubber band. Now, here comes the funky part. Whoa! This is some groovy foil! Ha-ha! Now we’re gonna put these inside our painted roll. You ready for the secret musical ingredient? Sprinkles! These sprinkles are gonna bring all the purrs, trust me. That’s what I’m talking about! Now close up the other end. And if you want to make it extra funky, you can draw a kitty face on each end. Oh, yeah! Now we can purr together. -Purr! -[purr stick rattling] [rattling] Happy Purrsday, y’all!
