Hey there! Do you like playing in puddles? Today, we’re going to learn about making puddles and having fun with them. Let’s go on an adventure with our friends, Rex and Zach!
Rex and Zach were playing outside on a hot day. They wanted to find a puddle to splash in and cool down. But guess what? They couldn’t find any puddles! So, they decided to make their own puddle. Isn’t that a great idea?
To make a puddle, Rex and Zach needed water. They got a bucket of water and poured it on the ground. But oh no! The water ran down the hill and disappeared. What should they do?
Rex and Zach had a clever idea. They decided to dig a hole so the water would stay in one place. They worked together and dug a nice hole. Then, they poured the water in. Yay! Now they had a puddle to play in!
After playing for a while, they noticed the water was gone again. The sun had dried it up! Rex and Zach thought hard and realized they needed to keep the puddle in the shade. So, they dug another hole under a tree where it was cooler. This way, the water wouldn’t dry up so fast.
Rex and Zach learned that when you want to keep water in a puddle, it’s best to put it in a shady spot. They also learned that working together makes things easier and more fun!
After all the fun, it was time to clean up. Walter, the friendly cleaner, helped wash the vehicles. He learned that washing from the top down saves water and time. Isn’t that smart?
Rex and Zach tried different ways to make their puddle better. They even tried using bark to cross a deep puddle. It didn’t work, but they didn’t give up. They kept looking for answers because they knew that trying again is how we learn new things!
Now it’s your turn! Next time you see a puddle, think about how you can make it last longer or how you can have fun with it. Remember, playing and learning go hand in hand. Have fun and keep exploring!
Make Your Own Puddle: With the help of an adult, find a safe spot in your yard or a park to create your own puddle. Use a small bucket to pour water on the ground. Observe what happens to the water. Does it stay in one place, or does it run away? Try digging a small hole like Rex and Zach did. What happens now? Discuss with your friends or family why the water behaves differently.
Shade Experiment: On a sunny day, create two small puddles. Place one in the sun and the other in the shade. Check back after some time to see which puddle lasts longer. Talk about why you think one puddle dried up faster than the other. This will help you understand how the sun affects water and why shade is important.
Puddle Art: Use sidewalk chalk to draw around your puddle. Create fun shapes or designs and see how the water changes the colors of the chalk. As the water dries, observe how the colors change. This activity will help you see how water interacts with different materials and how it can be used creatively.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

[Music]
That’s okay, he can’t catch me!
Yes, I can!
Circle!
Hey, where are you?
Here I am!
Ah, that’s fine.
Yeah, but it sure is hot today.
I know! I kind of like it when it’s hot, but it’s awfully tiring when we’re driving around.
You know what would be great?
What?
A nice cool puddle we could splash through!
Oh yeah, come on, let’s go look for a puddle!
Okay, do you see any puddles?
I don’t see any puddles over here.
I don’t see any puddles over here either.
I don’t think there are any puddles here, Zach.
Too bad.
Well, are we zeros or are we heroes?
Where’s the fun in that?
Oh, why?
Well, we can just make a puddle!
Terrific! All we need is some water, and we can put it right here.
Sounds good to me! Ready, set, turbo!
Is it this way to the lake?
Yeah, it’s this way! Come on, it’s going to be great with that puddle!
There you go, Rex! One bucket full of water!
All right, thanks very much, Phil!
Come on, Zach!
I’m coming!
Thanks, Phil!
No problem!
Bye, everyone!
I’m hot! You’re carrying all that water!
How can you be hot?
You’d be surprised how heavy water can be!
Oh yeah!
Okay, a little further!
Okay, that’s perfect, Max!
All right, now we have a puddle!
Uh-oh!
Rex, hey, where’s the water going?
It’s going down that hill!
Oh, it’s not staying in the puddle!
No, it’s because we poured the water on this hill, and the water just runs down.
Looks like we’re going to have to try again if we want the water to stay in a puddle!
You got it, Zach!
So should we put the water at the bottom of the hill?
Well, that would be kind of far from the meadow.
Why don’t we just dig a hole right here, and then the water will stay?
Good idea! Let’s get digging!
There you go, one hole for a puddle!
Great, Phil! Now let’s go get that water!
Okay, see you later!
Uh, we need you too, Phil!
Yeah, come on!
Come on, Phil!
All right!
Yeah, wait for me!
Thanks for the water, Phil!
No problem!
I can’t wait until we get this puddle done!
Okay, tell me when, Zach!
Right there!
Oh, all right! The water’s staying put!
Now we can cool down!
Let’s try it!
Ready?
Uh, you gotta go this way!
Okay!
Yeah, yeah! All right, let’s play in the meadow and then come back to the puddle when we get hot!
Sounds good!
[Music]
Are you following me?
Yes, I am!
Yeah, let’s go!
Now go now! This way!
All right, let’s go back to the puddle!
Yeah, yeah, we could cool off!
Hey, where did the water go?
Not down the hill!
Hey, look! The dirt is all dried out too!
Oh, I know what happened!
You do?
Yeah, the water dried up in the sun!
That happens!
Yeah, I remember how easy it is to dry off after a wash when I’m in the sun!
Looks like we have to try again!
Should we get more water first?
I think we should find another place to put this puddle!
Why, Zach?
Oh, come on, Rex! I’ll show you!
There you go, Zach! Another hole!
Uh, just one question: why are you digging it here?
I was wondering the same thing!
Because look at the shadow of this tree!
I’m looking, but I still don’t get it!
Well, if the puddle is in the shade and out of the sun, then maybe the water won’t dry up as fast!
Oh, hey, that’s good thinking!
Now all we need to do is get another load of water!
Okay!
Where are you going, Phil?
Come on, Rex! I have to help you get water!
Wait up, Phil!
Here you go!
I hope it works this time!
[Music]
Okay, now we play in the meadow again, and when we get hot, we’ll come back and hopefully the water will still be here!
Sounds good!
Pretty set, turbo!
For me!
Go this way!
Okay, okay!
There’s lots of bumps here!
Okay!
I’m over here!
I see you!
Okay, are you hot?
Yeah!
Bye-bye!
Let’s go check the puddle!
Okay!
Let’s see if it’s still here!
It’s here!
Now we can splash in the puddle!
All right, let’s do it!
[Music]
What do we do now, Rex?
When we’re finished splashing through the puddle, we can go into the meadow and get hot, and it will still be here when we get back!
Sounds good!
Uh, Zach, why are you still here?
I said when we finished splashing through the puddle!
Oh, I wasn’t finished yet!
Well then, it’s time!
Hey!
Back!
Forward!
Watch this!
Whoa! Good job!
Backwards!
Try it again!
Okay, you need a bite!
[Music]
Come on!
Whoa! Going backwards! Going forward!
Yeah, I love going this way!
Go this way!
Come on! Try going up backwards!
I’m gonna go forward!
Maybe over here!
Yeah, maybe we should go get cleaned up!
Yeah, that’s a good idea! Let’s go!
Well, there you go, Jewel! You’re done!
Oh, thanks, Walter!
Okay, who’s next?
Move them up!
Here I come!
This is great, Walter, but there’s a lot of dirty vehicles waiting to get clean!
Well, cleaning vehicles is what I do!
Hey, thanks, Walter!
No problem, Lily!
I’ll get you all washed up in no time!
First, let me start with your wheels!
There we go! Washing your wheels!
And look how clean those wheels are!
Oh, they’re great!
Now I’m gonna move up to your bumper!
Washing!
And there we go!
Uh, Walter, my wheels are dirty again!
What?
How do they get dirty?
Well, okay, I’ll just wash your wheels again!
Thanks!
Here we go!
You’re washing the wheels over here!
And watch over there!
And there we go! Your sides are looking clean!
Walter, her wheels are dirty again!
What?
How did that happen?
I thought they cleaned them!
I thought so too!
Well, it’s okay! I’ll just wash your wheels again!
Okay, washing!
Now they’re clean!
Oh, do my roof next!
Right! I’ll just wash your roof last and get it all clean!
Okay, washing!
Washing!
There we go!
Uh, Walter, my bumper’s muddy again!
And her sides!
And my wheels!
Lily, are you getting muddy when I’m not looking?
No, I haven’t moved!
Okay!
Uh, washing the wheels again!
How many times have I washed your wheels?
Now I think it’s four!
Oh, okay!
Uh, wheels are clean! Now I’ll wash your bumper again!
And your sides again!
Uh, Walter, your wheels are dirty again!
Oh, okay!
Washing your wheels again!
And washing the car all over again!
There! Are we done?
Yeah, I think so!
Thanks, Walter!
Okay, see you later!
Phew! That was a lot more washing than I thought it would be!
I used a lot of water getting Lily clean!
I have to go fill up my tank again!
Sorry, vehicles! I’ll be back in two minutes!
Oh, is he gonna have to fill up his tank after every wash?
Anyone know any games we can play while we wait?
How’s it coming, Walter?
My tank is filling back up as fast as I can fill it!
Why the rush?
Well, there’s a lot of dirty vehicles out there, and I feel like I’m washing them and washing them, and they just aren’t getting clean!
Maybe you should try again!
Too bad there wasn’t a way to use a lot more water when I wash vehicles! That would speed things up!
Hmm, maybe I can rig something up that uses more water!
Whoa! All right, let’s do it!
Yeah!
Okay, Zach, Mika, and I have a way to wash you much, much faster!
Okay, I’m ready to try anything!
How does it work?
We’re just gonna use a lot more water!
Okay!
Yeah, this will get you vehicles cleaned off in no time!
Wash away, Mika!
All right! Ready, set, turbo!
Watch!
Whoa!
Sorry, Zach!
You may have sprayed me clean, but I flipped over and landed back in the mud again!
Yeah, I guess we’ll have to try again!
Yeah, can someone help me up, please?
Thanks, Walter!
It looks like more water isn’t the answer!
We have to try again!
But I don’t know what else to do!
It’s okay, Walter! We can look around for answers!
Because answers are everywhere!
Are we still waiting?
Yep, we’re still waiting!
Maybe we could use this much to get the other mud!
No, that doesn’t make any sense!
Did you find any answers, Zach?
No!
How about you, Mika?
Nope!
Oh, too bad! Should we just keep looking?
I guess so!
We’re vehicles, and we don’t give up!
Okay, hold on, Zach! I didn’t wash the mud off your roof from before! Just let me get that before we go!
Oh, sure! Thanks, Walter!
Okay, I’ll just keep working down!
Hey, this seems easier than before!
It does!
Yeah, maybe it’s because you started at the top!
Oh yeah! Look at that!
The water is going down!
Maybe that’s why it’s been taking so long to get those vehicles clean!
What do you mean, Walter?
Well, I was washing vehicles from the bottom up!
That means every time I went higher, the water and mud would just go down over the parts I already washed!
Oh yeah! Thanks, Walter! That feels much better!
Yeah, and I hardly used any water to get you clean!
Okay, who’s next?
Oh, I am! Yay!
Okay, Spike!
I’m gonna try again and do it differently!
Will it take a long time?
I don’t think so! I’ve got a new system!
Here we go! Washing top down!
First, I start with your roof!
And then I follow the water and mud down, cleaning as I go!
Yay! It’s working!
Hey, this does seem like it’s a lot faster!
Yeah! Washing top down means I can wash vehicles faster, and I use a lot less water!
Now I just clean your wheels!
[Music]
Oh wow! Thanks, Walter!
You’re welcome!
Wow, that is a whole lot faster, and he only used up half a tank!
Now that’s the way to wash a vehicle!
You’ll have them all done in no time!
Walter, I got muddy again!
I don’t think I’ll ever be finished because as soon as you get clean, vehicles like to get muddy again!
Oh yeah!
All right, all right! I’ll wash you next!
Okay!
Here we go! Washing top down!
I think I’m gonna go get ready again!
Walter can wash me!
You are?
I’m gonna come!
I don’t think I’m muddy enough!
Okay, okay! I’m gonna do a flip, Rex!
Really?
Okay, I’m watching!
No, wait! If I go where…
No, wait! Hold on!
Um…
No, I don’t remember!
Why don’t you try, Rex?
Okay, let me just line it up here and give it a shot!
Here I go!
That was awesome!
Oh, what else can we do?
Oh, I know what we can do! It’s just over here!
Come on!
Okay, wait! Hold on, Zach! I’ve got to flip over first!
Oh, do you need some help?
No, I think I can do it!
Here, let me just see here and…
Whoa!
Wow, that was amazing!
I know! I’ve never done that before!
Look! We could drive through this puddle!
Oh, that looks great!
You want to go first?
Yeah!
Okay, ready, set, turbo!
Bye!
Does splashing good!
Up, heidel!
Are you gonna come in, Rex?
Oh yeah, I’ll come in, but you got to make room for me!
Okay!
Here we go!
[Music]
Look at this! I can go back and forth!
Yeah, you’re really good at that!
Let’s go down this way!
Rex, what? Down this way?
Yeah, come on! There’s more puddle over there!
Come on, Rex!
Okay!
Oh, Rex!
Yeah, the puddle is getting deeper!
Yeah, but not too deep!
It seems pretty deep!
I don’t think so!
What are you talking about?
It’s almost in my eyes!
It’s too deep for me, Rex!
No, it’s only about halfway up my grill!
Oh, okay! Maybe I was wrong!
Let me just check!
No, no! It gets too deep here, Rex!
Okay, let’s back up and see if we can figure this out!
Hmm, it doesn’t seem to be too deep to me!
How come it wasn’t as deep for you as it was for me?
Oh, look! I’m much taller than you!
Oh yeah!
So the puddle doesn’t seem as deep for you, but it looks like we’re gonna need to come up with a way I can get across this puddle!
Well, what if I put some dirt in the puddle? That will make it shallower!
All right! Dirt!
Yeah, yeah! Let’s do it!
Okay!
Hi, Phil! Can I have a load of dirt, please?
Ah, sure thing, Rex!
I love watching you move dirt, Phil!
You make it look so easy!
Well, I really like it!
Okay, here we go!
Rex, first I’ll get some dirt and scoop it up!
And lifting!
And there we go!
Rex, dropping some dirt!
How’s that?
Thanks, Phil! That’s great!
No problem, vehicles!
Thanks, Phil! Come to me if you need any more dirt!
There! Go a little further!
Here! Not yet!
Well, where’s the deep part?
Don’t worry! You’ll know where the deep part is!
All right, because it’ll get deep!
All right, there it is!
Okay!
That should make it shallower!
Here I go!
Driving across!
La la la!
Hey, what’s going on?
I can feel the dirt, but it’s getting less and less!
Where’s it going?
I think the dirt is getting mixed into the water!
That’s why the water here looks so… well, dirty!
Well, we need it to stay on the bottom!
If it mixes with the water, then I have nothing to drive on, and the puddle will still be too deep!
I agree! It looks like we need to try again!
We need something that won’t mix into the water!
Like what?
Oh, I know just the thing!
Let’s go!
Okay, let’s go!
Where are we going?
Wait, wait! I’ll go back out!
Okay!
This is what I was thinking of!
This piece of bark!
What do we do with it?
We put it in the water just like this!
And then I drive across it just like this!
Watch!
Uh, like that?
Yeah!
Okay, let’s do it!
Yeah!
[Music]
Here! A little further!
Forward!
Here! Stop!
Okay, that should be good!
Dump away!
Okay, dumping!
[Music]
Ah!
Okay, let’s see how it works!
Do you need a lift?
No! I can’t do it!
I’m on top!
Uh-oh! Rex, the bark is moving!
I don’t want to go this way!
I need to go over there!
Okay, here! I’ll push you!
Wait! Careful!
Don’t!
All right! I’m balanced on this!
Don’t! Don’t!
Perfect!
Okay, it’s just another point pushing me the wrong way!
Rex, a little more!
No, no, no! That’s not…
Oh!
Oh no! You fell!
I fell off the bark!
I guess this bark again didn’t work either!
Are we trying again?
Of course! Come on! Let’s look around!
Answers are everywhere!
Hey, maybe we could use this puddle!
We could put the puddle in the other puddle and have a double puddle!
Ah, no! That’s not going to work!
Hey, Phil! Phil!
Hi, Zach! What are you doing?
I’m looking for answers!
What do you have there?
I have a bucket full of gravel!
Gravel! That’s exactly what I need!
It is?
Yeah! Give it to me, and I’ll take it to Rex!
Uh, okay!
