COLD OPEN | Elmo and his popsicle stick pal "Sticky" set up today's theme of arts and crafts. (First: Episode 5116) |
   |
SCENE 1 | Tamir is working on a drawing for Chris, but he wants to make it a surprise. Tamir hides the drawing when Chris checks in on him, as Tamir tells Chris he's just standing. The drawing Tamir is working on is him and Chris as superheroes. But the drawing is not done, as he still needs to draw Chris' cape and mask. |
   |
SCENE 1 cont'd | Before Tamir can proceed, Elmo and Ji-Young go up to Tamir as they are looking for a kicker for their kickball team. Tamir tries to tell them he can't join as he's in the middle of something, but this is a kickball emergency (or kickergency as Ji-Young calls it). Tamir agrees, but first needs to hide the drawing so Chris won't see it. He looks around the community center and finds a dusty old backgammon bag. He thinks nobody has played it in 20 years, and places it on top of the drawing, as Ji-Young calls out Tamir. |
   |
SCENE 1 cont'd | Tamir greets Mrs. Crustworthy and Grandma Nell as he rushes off to the kickball emergency. As Tamir leaves, Grandma Nell asks to find something to do this afternoon. Mrs. Crustworthy suggests the community center. She finds the backgammon game that is placed on Tamir's drawing. The drawing falls, and Grandma Nell picks up Tamir's drawing. Both she and Mrs. Crustworthy admire the drawing. Seeing Chris as a superhero, Grandma Nell wonders if Chris saw the drawing, and decides to show it to him. |
   |
SCENE 1 cont'd | Chris is over at Hooper's Store serving Baby Bear's family, as Grandma Nell shows him the drawing. Tamir returns with Elmo, Ji-Young, and Charlie. Chris greets them, as he compliments Tamir on the drawing his grandma showed him. Tamir asks if it was the sunset drawing, his grandma, his self portrait. It was the one of them as superheroes. After Papa Bear asks Chris for more ketchup, Tamir runs off. |
  |
SCENE 1 cont'd | Tamir runs back to the community center as he finds his drawing is gone. The others check in on him. Ji-Young notices Tamir is sighing with his head down. Tamir explains he had his drawing, and his grandma must have shown it to Chris. Elmo notices Tamir is saying "ugh" a lot. Tamir sings the very big feeling song. Charlie believes he's feeling disappointed, when something doesn't happen the way you want it. Tamir says that's exactly it as he really wanted to be the one to show the drawing to Chris. Tamir wonders what to do. Charlie suggests volcano breaths. |
  |
SCENE 1 cont'd | This prompts Volcano to show up to tell them about how volcano breaths can help you take care of yourself. He guides everyone through, as Charlie follows along by putting your hands together and breathing through your nose, and raising your hands so the lava can rise up, and slowly breathe through your mouth. Charlie asks everyone if they want to try, as they do the exercise. After the exercise is done, and Volcano leaves, Tamir feels a little better, but still disappointed. Ji-Young and Charlie suggest talking to his grandma about the drawing, but Tamir isn't sure he could tell her. Ji-Young reassures him that grownups make mistakes. |
  |
SCENE 1 cont'd | As Grandma Nell is working at the Community Garden humming a tune, Tamir shows up as she asks him to hand her the watering can. Just as he's about to, Tamir starts talking to her about the drawing of him and Chris. Grandma Nell shows it displayed so everyone can see and admire it, and couldn't believe she found it at the community center. Tamir nervously tells her he hid it there, as he wanted to finish and surprise Chris with it. Grandma Nell realizes she showed it to Chris without Tamir's permission and ruined the surprise. She apologizes for not asking first, and hugs Tamir, telling him she won't show his artwork until after she asks. Tamir feels a lot better now that he told her how he felt. |
  |
SCENE 1 cont'd | Tamir gives the finished drawing to Chris, and it looks even better than it did before. Chris compliments Tamir on the super cool superhero costumes, and loves it so much, he's going to take it home, frame it, and put it on his wall. Tamir tells him it could be the cover of a new comic book. As they talk, Grandma Nell looks through the window expressing how proud she is of her grandbaby. Mrs. Crustworthy just wants to play backgammon, as it's been 20 years since they last played. |
 |
Insert | Everyone Has Big Feelings Elijah and Sunny are painting pictures. Elijah was painting a picture of him and Sunny as superheroes, but he smeared it and is now disappointed. Sunny suggests volcano breaths. |

Muppets | The Sesame Street friends dance and sing waiting to discover which letter will be the letter of the day. Today, it's A. |
 |
Film | "A" is for Arts and Crafts. A kid narrates a story about Ms. Denise, who teaches arts and crafts in the Shinnecock Reservation. They learn to make a talking stick. |
 |
SCENE 2 | Elmo, who is performing his "Sticky" puppet, is here to talk about arts and crafts. Rosita asks "Sticky" about some cool arts and crafts that can be made from home. Sticky suggests a lion made from a paper plate made out of construction paper, or a spider made of pompoms and googly eyes... or a craft stick friend like Sticky. Elmo hears the theme song to Mecha Builders. |
  |
Cartoon | Mecha Builders A couple of people in the park have invitations to Barb's ice cream party, but they can't find it anywhere. Barb shows up, and tells them this isn't just any ordinary ice cream party. It's an ice cream mystery party. First clue is a hidden drawing on a red paper. This is a problem... until the Mecha Builders show up to help figure out how to solve the clue. Mecha Tango helps with the first clue, by stepping onto the blue paint on Barb's palette, and revealing it on the red paper. It's the library where the ice cream cones are. Next clue is on a blue paper that isn't revealed with blue paint, but with yellow paint, as it reveals the fountain. The fountain has the whipped cream, and a yellow paper, which is another clue. More clues are revealed as they mix colors, until they get to the last of it, which is Barb herself, congratulating everyone for finding the ingredients and solving the mystery. |

Muppets | Elmo sings and dances with Tango as she retrieves toys for the number of the day. Today, she brings one. |
