Hey there! Do you know what spinning in circles is? It’s like when a car goes round and round in a fun way! To do it, you have to turn your wheels and make your car go fast. It’s like dancing for cars!
One day, some car friends wanted to build something special. They thought about making the best jump ever! A jump is like a little hill that cars can drive over to fly in the air. They wanted to make a jump that goes high over a tree branch and far over a puddle. How exciting!
First, they made a long and low jump. It helped the cars go far but not high. Then, they tried a short and steep jump. This one made the cars go high but not far. They learned that different shapes make cars jump in different ways!
The cars decided to make a jump that was in between the two shapes. Guess what? It worked! The cars could jump high and far, right over the puddle and the branch. Hooray for trying new things!
Later, the cars wanted to play in the sand. They found a small sand pit and wished it was bigger. So, they decided to bring more sand to make it larger. They worked together, carrying sand from a big sand pit far away.
One car used a piece of bark like a scoop to carry sand. It was like being a dump truck! More friends joined in to help, and soon the sand pit was much bigger. Everyone was happy and had lots of fun playing in the sand.
These car friends showed us that trying new things and working together can be a lot of fun. Whether it’s spinning in circles, building jumps, or playing in the sand, there’s always something exciting to learn and do!
Now it’s your turn! What fun things can you build or play with today? Remember, trying new things and working with friends can make any day special!
Spin and Dance: Let’s pretend to be cars spinning in circles! Find a safe space where you can move around. Try spinning in a circle like a car. How fast can you go? Now, try spinning slowly. Can you spin in different directions? Ask a friend to join you and see if you can spin together without bumping into each other. Talk about how it feels to spin fast versus slow.
Build Your Own Jump: Gather some small toys or blocks and create your own jump for toy cars. Try making different shapes like a long and low jump or a short and steep one. Test them out with toy cars or small balls. Which shape makes the toy go higher? Which one makes it go farther? Experiment with different designs and see which one works best. Share your favorite jump with a friend and explain why you like it.
Sand Pit Adventure: If you have access to a sandbox or a safe area with sand, try making your own sand pit bigger, just like the car friends did. Use small containers or your hands to move sand from one place to another. Work with a friend or family member to see how big you can make your sand pit. Talk about how teamwork helps make the job easier and more fun. What other things can you build in the sand together?

**Transcript:**
Hey, what are you doing down there?
I’m doing donuts.
Oh, is there any way you can teach me how to do that?
Oh yeah, you just rev your engines, turn your wheels, and spin.
Okay, here I go!
Yeah, turning my wheels… I’m not really doing donuts though; I’m just sort of going in a circle here.
You have to turn your wheels like this. See? Turn, turn!
I don’t know if I’m as good at this as you are. Let me see… uh, no.
Well, we could do something else instead. I was going to meet up with the construction Zerbies.
Hey, do you want to come?
You go ahead; I’m going to practice some more.
[Music]
All righty, there you go, guys! You want some more dirt?
This is so much fun!
This is going to be great! You want me to scoop some of this over here?
I love it too! I’m coming!
Yes, I need some more!
Thank you! There you are, there’s some more dirt for you.
You want any more?
I think we’re good.
All right, where should we put it?
Well, it depends on what we’re building.
Let’s build something we’ve never built before!
Like what?
I don’t know; we’ve built lots of things.
Hey, hey guys, what are you building today?
Well, the thing is we don’t know. We wanted to build something different, something new, something we’ve never built before.
Ooh, I know! What about building a jump?
We build jumps all the time!
Yeah, we do! Long jumps, short jumps, low jumps, high jumps… jumpy jumps!
But have you built the best jump ever?
The best jump ever? No, not the best jump ever!
Oh, that sounds neat! Let’s do it!
All right, let’s go! Come on!
Going to be the best jump ever! Excited?
You’re not kidding!
Hey Axel, what’s going on?
We’re going to build the best jump ever!
The best jump ever! Hey Zach, come check it out!
I’m not missing this! Wait for me!
Okay, okay! You see this puddle right here?
Yeah!
Well, I’d like to be able to jump really far right over this puddle.
Oh, we’ve never built one to go over a puddle! Let’s go!
Oh, wait! In order for it to be the best jump ever, I also want to be able to jump high—high over that branch!
We’ve never built one to go over a tree branch either! So both high and far?
Yep, no problem! Let’s go!
Okay, this is going to be the best jump ever!
Load me up, fellas! These are the best logs ever!
Going to move it, load it up!
Perfect! Here we go! Way to go, Zerbies! Another great Zerby construction!
Wow, that ramp is looking great! You should try it!
Yeah, it sure is! Okay, so here we go! Have fun, Axel!
Ready, set, turbo!
Great jump, Axel!
Oh, that was a great jump!
Yeah, but I don’t know if it worked.
What do you mean?
Well, you see, this jump makes you go far, but you didn’t get over that branch. In fact, you’re not going very high at all.
Oh right, good point! Well, you know we can always try again!
What’s that? Are we trying again?
Yeah! All we have to do is build another jump so I can go higher!
You got it! Come on, Z! Let’s do it!
Woohoo! There we go! All right, come on guys! This one’s it!
This is going to be… I think we did it!
Wow, this jump looks a lot different than the first one!
Yep, this one’s very short and steep.
Give it a shot, Axel! Good luck with this one!
Go for it, Axel!
Okay, ready?
Yeah, yeah!
[Music]
Whoa! Oh yeah, a small problem—I landed in the puddle of mud!
Yeah, but did you see how high you went? You went really high!
But I guess you’re not going so far anymore.
Oh, you’re right! It looks like we’ll have to try again!
Oh, are we trying again? One more time, everybody!
But what shape do we try next?
Oh, I don’t know.
I know! Let’s take a look at the two jumps because answers are everywhere!
Okay, let’s go!
Hey, you know what I noticed?
What?
Look at the shape of this jump! You see how it’s long and really low?
Yeah!
Well, this jump lets you go really far, right?
Yeah, okay! Now check the other jump! See how the shape is really different? Instead of long and low, it’s short and really steep!
So what if we build something that was in between the two shapes?
Well, do you think that’ll work?
The only way to find out is to try again!
I love trying again! All right!
Looking good, guys!
Hey Axel, it’s done! It’s done!
Do you think it’ll get me all the way over here?
Well, it’s higher than the first jump, but it’s lower than the second jump, so it might!
But there’s only one way to find out! It’s time for me to try it!
Okay, this is going to be great! Ready, set, turbo!
Yeah, go!
[Music]
Wow! Right over the branch and clear across the puddle! Fabulous fenders, I did it!
All right, best jump ever!
So now what?
Oh, I know! I want to jump with me on your back!
Okay, that’s a great idea!
Okay, hang on! Here we go!
Okay, yeah, yeah!
Nothing’s happening!
Yeah, nothing’s happening! I’m going fast!
No, no, no, no! I’m going! Can’t you feel it?
What if I push with my wheels out and then you go fast and I’ll push?
Here I go! Ready, set, turbo!
Yeah!
Okay, where to go, Axel?
Oh, thanks, but I have to do it again!
Okay, ready, set, turbo!
Yeah!
I’ll try again!
Okay, ready, set… going to do it… going to do it… not going to do it!
So again, I’m going to go back this way.
Okay, here I go!
Okay, all right, turn around!
Okay, are you ready for this? This is it!
This is it! I’m going to do it! Ready?
Going to do it… going to do it… do it!
[Music]
Hey, what do you want to do today, Rex?
Oh, I don’t know!
Hey, how about we play in the sand?
Oh, that’s a great idea! Let’s go to the Zerby Town sand pit!
Yeah, let’s go!
There it is, the Zerby Town sand pit!
I wish it was bigger!
It really is small, but it’s really close to home!
That’s true! Come on, let’s play!
Okay, I’m going to go!
Okay, wait! You got to move!
Okay, I’ll come in this side and then you can fit in it.
Um, I just don’t know if we’re both going to fit.
Yeah, you’re right! It’s too bad our sand pit isn’t bigger.
Why don’t we get some more sand and we can make it bigger?
Oh, that’s a great idea! But where?
Oh, there’s a big sand pit! It’s kind of far away, but come on, I’ll show you!
Woohoo! Let’s go!
Wait, what? It’s this way?
Am I going the wrong way?
Oh no, you’re right! Come on, Rex! Right behind you!
Is it over here?
No, it’s a little further!
Is it in this tree?
No, there’s no sand in the tree! It’s not in the tree! Come on!
Okay, I’m coming!
Are we almost there yet?
Nope, not yet! Boy, this place is far!
I told you it was!
Wow, we made it!
Hey, this is great! We should just play here when we want to play in the sand!
Yeah, but it’s really far from Zerby Town!
Oh yeah, okay! Let’s get some sand and haul it back to Zerby Town!
If it’s hauling sand, you need me! I’m your Zerby! Watch this!
Here we go! All right, Rex, back to Zerby Town!
Woohoo! Go, Rex!
How you doing, Rex?
No problem! Carrying sand is what I do best!
The back ride! I got sand on my back!
Okay, I’ll get off! I’ll get off!
Okay, you’re strong! Thank you! Let’s keep going!
Okay, just a little more! Just keep backing up a little more and… okay, dump it right there!
Right here?
Yeah, right there!
Okay, here we go! Dump it!
All right! More sand!
This is great! Look at it!
Hey, look! The sand pit’s getting bigger!
Yeah, but not a lot bigger!
Well, I’ve only done one load! There’s enough sand for lots of loads!
We can add as much sand as we want!
How many more loads do you think we’ll need?
A lot more! This could take forever!
You’re right, Rex! Hauling all this sand by yourself just isn’t going to work!
Well, you know what we say when something doesn’t work right?
Try, try again!
So how are we going to haul more sand?
Well, maybe I could help you!
Of course! That’s a great idea! Come on, let’s go back!
Okay, good! Let’s go!
Wait, Zach, which way?
It’s this way!
Zach, that way? Really? Are you sure?
Sure! I know for sure!
Yep, come on!
I’m coming! Yay! The sand pit really is a long drive though!
There it is! Okay, what do I do with this pile, Rex?
What do I do here?
Well, first I have to get some in my bucket here.
Okay, there we go! Wow! And now what?
Just drive to the bottom of the pile there!
Like this?
Yeah! Now I’ll drive up, and when I get to the top, I’ll dump the sand on top of you! You ready?
I’m ready! Dump away!
All right, dumping!
Hey, look at me! I’m hauling sand!
What do I do now, Rex?
Well, come on! We have to drive back!
Okay!
Okay, look at me! I’m driving with my sand! I’m driving with my sand and I’m hauling it!
Zach, what? You dropped all your sand!
I did?
Yeah! Oh no! There’s still a little bit there, but I don’t think that’s going to be enough!
Yeah, you’re right! I guess I don’t have a nifty bucket to hold the sand like you do! I guess this idea didn’t work!
It’s okay! We can always try, try again!
You’re right, Rex! What should we do differently?
Well, why don’t we look around? Answers are everywhere!
Oh, good idea! Do you see anything, Rex?
No, nothing back there!
Um… oh, tree! I don’t see anything yet!
I don’t either!
Oh, hey! Maybe… hey, Rex, come and look at this!
Oh, what is it, Zach?
Look at this bark! It looks like a scoop!
Yeah, it’s sort of the same shape as my dump bucket! I bet I could use this bark to carry sand!
Oh yeah, I bet it would hold a lot of sand!
Okay, let’s take it back to the sand pit! Help me get it on my roof!
Okay, let’s do it!
All right, let me try this again with my fancy new scoop!
Okay, I think it’s going to work! Are you ready?
Okay, all set! Dump!
Hey, look at that! It holds fits on there!
Okay, just let me back up!
Hey, how’s it working?
I think it works really well! Look at that! All right, let’s go back to Zerby Town!
Oh, I have to get a load too!
Oh, okay! I’ll stay here!
There we go! Yay! Back to Zerby Town!
Back to Zerby Town! Come on, Zach!
I’m coming! I just… this is heavy!
Sure it is, but you can do it!
Do you think I would make a good dump truck?
Yeah, this hill is steep, but I think I would make a good dump truck!
You would! How you doing?
I’m good! What? I spilled some! Is that okay?
If I spill some, I’m still a dump truck!
Fine, you’re still a dump truck!
Hey, look, Zach! We’re almost there!
Hey, Rex!
Hey, Zach! What are you doing?
Oh, hi, Lily! I’m helping Rex move sand to the Zerby Town sand pit so we can make it bigger!
Oh, that sounds like fun!
It is! Okay, see you later!
Woo! I’m a dump truck!
Wow! Making the sand pit bigger is a great idea!
So is carrying all that sand in that bark scoop! That gives me an idea!
Okay, show me how it’s done, Rex!
First, I dump, dump, then I drive away like this!
Yeah, dump truck!
Okay, here I go!
Wait! My bark doesn’t dump like that, Rex! What do I do?
Uh, just move around!
Oh, okay!
Okay, dump truck! Dump truck! Dumping!
It worked! Hey, it’s bigger already!
Yeah, we’re still going to need more sand!
Did someone say more sand?
Lily! Spike! What are you guys doing here?
Well, it looked like you were having so much fun hauling sand, we thought we would help!
This is great! Yay! Bigger sand pit!
So how do we get the sand off?
Okay, you have to be dump trucks! So you have to move around really fast and dump your sand off!
