Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have some fun with our pretend pet turtle. Let’s use our hands to make a tiny turtle. Put your thumb up like this, and that’s the turtle’s head!
Now, let’s give our turtle a shell. Use your other hand to cover the turtle’s back. Look, we have a cute little pet turtle! Isn’t he adorable?
Our little turtle is a bit dirty, so let’s give him a bath. Imagine putting him in a tiny bathtub. Oh, he loves the water!
Oh no! Our turtle is drinking the water and eating the soap! Silly turtle, that’s not good for you. You might get a tummy ache!
Let’s sing a fun song about our turtle:
“I had a little turtle, his name was Tiny Tim. I put him in the bathtub to see if he could swim. He drank up all the water, he ate up all the soap, and now he’s home sick in bed with bubbles in his throat.”
Bubble, bubble, bubbles!
Let’s sing it one more time:
“I had a little turtle, his name was Tiny Tim. I put him in the bathtub to see if he could swim. He drank up all the water, he ate up all the soap, and now he’s home sick in bed with bubbles in his throat.”
Bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble, pop!
Let’s check on Tiny Tim. Are you feeling better, Tiny Tim?
Yes, I feel better now!
Hooray! Tiny Tim is all better. A good rest in bed really helped him feel better.
Okay, see you later, alligator! Thanks for playing with Tiny Tim today!
Make Your Own Turtle: Let’s create our own Tiny Tim using craft materials! Gather some paper, crayons, and scissors. Draw a turtle shape on the paper and color it in. Cut it out with the help of an adult. Now you have your very own Tiny Tim! Can you find a cozy spot for him to rest?
Turtle Bath Time Experiment: Fill a small container with water and find a toy that can float, like a small plastic turtle or a cork. Gently place it in the water and watch it float. What happens if you add a little soap to the water? Does it still float? Talk about why Tiny Tim might have gotten a tummy ache from drinking the soapy water.
Observe Real Turtles: If you have a chance, visit a local pond or zoo to see real turtles. Watch how they move and swim. Do they have shells like Tiny Tim? How do they behave in the water? Draw a picture of what you see and share it with your friends or family.
Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

Hi, wonderful YouTube! Today we’re going to pretend that we have a little tiny cute pet turtle. So get out your hand and go like this, and just have your thumb mess with the head.
Now give him a little shell with your other hand, and he’s our cute little pet turtle! Now we need to give him a bath because he’s kind of dirty, so let’s put him in the bathtub.
Oh, he loves the water, right? Oh no, he’s drinking up the water and he’s eating the soap! Stop, little turtle! That’s not good for you; you’re going to get sick.
Let’s sing about it!
I had a little turtle, his name was Tiny Tim. I put him in the bathtub to see if he could swim. He drank up all the water, he ate up all the soap, and now he’s home sick in bed with bubbles in his throat.
Bubble, bubble, bubbles!
Should we sing it again? Great job!

Let’s see if he’s feeling better now.
Hi! Are you feeling better, Tiny Tim?
