(All cheering)
>> Beautiful!
First place!
(All cheering)
(Sighing happily )
>> Farmer Bear's Tomato
Festival.
My favorite summer tradition.
>> Me too, Ari!
Tomato food, tomato games--
>> And tomato clothes!
See how my scarf is red like a
tomato?
>> Cool.
>> Attention please!
Anyone who wants to enter the
Tomato Drop Contest, follow me
to the contest area now.
(Gasping)
>> The tomato drop contest!
>> Awesome!
>> Come on, let's go!
(Whistling)
>> Welcome to the Tomato Drop!
The first two teams who can drop
a tomato from the top of this
ladder safely without
splattering it, will win a
prize.
(Giggling)
(Kids cheering)
Each team gets three tomatoes,
and you can build anything you
like, to try to keep them from
splattering.
Did everyone bring supplies?
>> Yep.
>> BOTH: Uh-huh.
>> Great!
Then let's get this contest
started.
Are you ready?
Go-mato!
(Chuckling)
>> Okay, I've got a great idea!
We take two slices of bread, and
tie 'em around the tomato to
cushion it when it drops.
It's a sandwich and a cushion!
>> Bread might be too crumbly,
Ari.
>> Eh, you're right.
How 'bout a donut?
>> Hm, let's call that Plan B.
(All laughing)
>> I have an idea, too.
>> I got tape, some springs, and
a box!
What if we take these squishy
springs I brought and tape them
to the outside of this box?
Then we put the tomato inside.
>> Oh, so, when we drop the
tomato, it'll bounce instead of
splatting on the ground?
>> Hopefully!
>> Okay, let's try it!
>> Springs.
Now some tape.
Done!
>> And now the tomato.
Let's go!
>> Farmer Bear?
>> Ooh-hoo!
That's one springy box!
Ready when you are.
>> Ready?
(Gasping)
>> Whoa.
>> Hey, come back here!
>> Gotcha!
>> Let's see what'cha got!
(Elinor sighing)
>> Tomato goop?
I think it bounced around too
much.
>> Well, don't give up.
You still have two more
tomatoes!
>> Farmer Bear?
We're ready to try!
>> Look, the Lamb sisters are
using their soft wool to keep
the tomato from squishing!
>> Good luck!
>> Stand back!
>> Cool!
>> Wow!
>> ARI: It didn't splat!
(All cheering)
>> Nicely done!
Our first winners!
We'll give the prizes at the
end.
>> Now there's only one prize
left.
>> If only we had some wool!
>> We don't have to do the same
thing.
There must be more than one safe
way to drop a tomato.
(Wind howling)
Oh!
Dandelion fluff is nice and
soft, just like the wool.
(Gasping)
What if we use this to cushion
the tomato?
>> Oh, yeah!
>> ELINOR: But we'll need a lot
of it.
>> Then we'd better get
fluffin'!
(Giggling)
(Giggling)
>> Okay, I think we have enough
fluff.
(Wind blowing)
>> Oh, the fluff is getting
away!
>> Nothing a little tape can't
fix.
>> All done!
>> Farmer Bear?
>> Yes, Ari?
>> Can we try again?
>> Absolutely!
>> This time we've got the right
stuff!
Or should I say, the right
fluff?
(Both laughing)
>> Check this out!
>> Aw, it smooshed again!
I guess we didn't use enough
fluff.
>> See, you learn something,
even when they do smoosh.
Keep trying!
>> Keep trying, sure, but we
only have one tomato left!
>> That's okay.
We only need one safe drop!
Let's keep thinking.
What else can we try?
(Gasping)
(Wind blowing)
Hm.
Look at that leaf!
>> What about it?
>> It fell really slowly!
Look, I'll show you.
(Wind blowing)
>> That is slow.
>> A leaf falls slowly, but a
tomato falls fast.
>> Huh.
>> That's so interesting!
>> Too bad it isn't the other
way around.
If our tomato fell slowly, maybe
it wouldn't go splat.
>> Yes!
I wonder if there's a way to
help our tomato fall slowly too?
Hm.
We need more observations!
♪ Look high, look low ♪
♪ For things that might fall
slow ♪
♪ So we can figure out a way ♪
♪ To save our tomato ♪
>> Tomato?
>> Just go with it, Olive.
♪ We'll hold 'em up ♪
♪ And let 'em go ♪
♪ Until we try ♪
♪ We'll never know ♪
♪ Look high and low ♪
♪ For things that might fall
slow ♪
♪ So we can figure out a way ♪
♪ To save our tomato ♪
>> We found some great things!
Now let's see how they fall.
>> I'll put them in two piles
either fell fast or fell slow.
>> The leaf goes here, in the
slow pile.
>> Okay, first, the pinecone.
>> ALL: Fast!
>> Next, the paper.
(Wind blowing)
>> ALL: Slow!
>> Now let's try the twig.
>> ALL: Fast!
>> Huh.
I wonder what would happen if we
dropped my scarf?
>> Let's try it!
>> ARI & OLIVE: Slow!
>> ELINOR: Very slow!
It looks like it's catching the
air as it falls.
>> So, we have two things that
fell fast the pine cone and the
twig, and three that fell
slowly.
>> The leaf, the paper and my
scarf which was the slowest of
all!
>> I wonder what would happen
if we taped your slow-falling
scarf to our tomato.
>> Yeah, maybe the tomato would
fall more slowly, too?
>> Okay, the scarf fell slowly
like a parachute, so we should
try to tape it to the tomato
that way.
>> OLIVE: We can tie a string to
each corner of the scarf and
tape the other ends to the
tomato.
>> Yes, let's try it!
I'll get the string.
>> Cool, and now the tape.
>> Oh, no.
We're out of tape!
Now, how can we attach the
strings to the tomato?
>> Hm.
My donut!
>> Ari, this is no time for a
snack!
>> Oh, yes it is.
We can tie the strings to the
donut!
>> Awesome!
(Giggling)
>> We're ready to try it!
>> Aww, good effort, Sally.
>> Farmer Bear, we have one more
try!
>> Here we go!
>> BOTH: Oh, I can't watch!
>> Three.
Two.
One.
Drop!
(All cheering)
>> Hooray!
Well done, kids, how did you
come up with this idea?
>> Well, the scarf fell slowly
and that gave us the idea to use
it like a parachute.
>> My, what clever scientists.
Winners follow me!
>> Look, it's Mr. Tomato!
>> Ooh, a prize!
>> Ooh.
Let me guess what it is, um...
Oh, a pineapple?
(All gasping)
>> Guess again!
(Both giggling)
>> Let's take a picture of the
winners!
Ready?
Say "Tomato!"
>> ALL: Tomato!
>> Senor Tapir, what are you
doing up there?
>> I was just thinking about the
inventor who designed the
world's first parachute.

(Chirping)
(Blowing whistle)
Alright, class, who's ready to
play soccer?
>> Me!
>> I am!
>> I want to play!
>> Okay, let's go!
>> KIDS: Cool!
Whoa!
(Laughing)
>> Wow!
(Grunting)
>> I can't wait to start
playing!
>> Yeah, me too, Elinor!
I bet I'm going to be a super
sensational soccer star!
>> Whoa, wah!
Huh, okay, maybe I should learn
how to play first.
(Grunting)
>> Oh, Ari.
What are you reading, Olive?
>> It's the rule book.
It tells you all the things you
can and can't do when you
play soccer.
Reading about the rules is my
favorite part of any game.
(All laughing)
>> Well, my favorite part of any
game is the playing part!
Let's go!
(Giggling)
>> Yes!
>> Okay, kids!
Soccer is a wonderful game where
you play with a ball in all
kinds of different ways.
You can run with it...
(Grunting)
...kick it, or bounce it off
your body, but the only thing
you can't do is use your hands,
unless you're the goalie.
>> The goalie's the one who
tries to stop the ball from
going in the net, right Ms.
Mole?
>> That's right, Olive.
I see you found my rule book!
>> You betcha!
(Giggling)
>> Goalies can use their hands,
but everyone else has to use the
other parts of their body.
Like their feet!
But the most important thing is
to just have fun and do your
best.
Remember, everyone is good at
different things!
>> KIDS: Whoa!
>> That was amazing!
>> Let's give it a try!
Here ya go Sally.
>> KIDS: Yay!
(Laughing)
(Grunting)
Yes!
(Whistling)
>> Ah-ah!
Remember, Ari.
No hands.
>> Ah, sorry!
>> Heads up, Elinor!
>> Here ya go, Olive!
>> Right back at you, Elinor.
>> Over to you, Ari!
>> Okay, watch this move!
>> Wha!
(Giggling)
>> Maybe not that move.
>> Thanks, Olive.
(Blowing whistle)
>> Okay, are you ready to try
some fun soccer moves?
>> I'm ready!
>> Me, too!
>> And me!
>> Splendid!
Now, in soccer you have to move
fast, so first, let's do some
running.
>> Ready?
Go!
(Panting)
>> Silas, you're really fast.
(Giggling)
>> That was a lot of running!
I usually fly when I'm in a
hurry.
>> Hm, there's nothing in the
rules that say you can't fly,
Ari.
>> Really?
(Blowing whistle)
>> Okay, come on back!
(Panting)
Now, let's try moving the ball
in different ways.
This is called "dribbling."
And "passing!"
(Panting)
(Grunting)
Oh, sorry.
(Giggling)
Whoa!
(Giggling)
>> Wow, Mary and Lizzie are good
at this!
>> Yeah!
>> Whoa, ah!
(Whistling)
>> Ari!
Remember, no hands!
>> Sorry.
>> Now let's see how far you can
kick the ball!
(Grunting)
>> Whoa!
(Sighing)
>> Whoa!
>> Great kick, Sally!
>> Your tail is really strong!
>> That was amazing!
>> You can also juggle the ball
with your feet.
Give it a try!
(Grunting)
>> Aww, this is hard!
>> I agree.
>> Whoa, are you allowed to do
that?
>> You can use anything except
your hands.
>> Oops.
>> So, yes, Ari.
>> Wow, who knew Olive had a
nose for soccer?
(Giggling)
>> Go, Olive!
(Sighing)
>> Oof!
(Sighing)
(Sighing)
>> Training to be a super soccer
star is hard work, huh?
>> Yeah.
>> Hm.
>> What's the matter, soccer
stars?
>> I'm really excited about
playing, Ms. Mole, but I don't
know what I'm good at.
>> Me neither.
>> Hm.
Exactly what do you mean by
that, Elinor?
>> Well, everyone is good at
something.
Silas is a really good runner.
He's a cheetah, and cheetahs
have long legs that help them
run fast.
>> ARI: Super fast!
>> And Mary and Lizzie are
really good at dribbling and
passing the ball.
That's because goats have extra
strong legs they use for
climbing and kicking.
>> Right on target.
>> Sally is great at kicking the
ball with her tail.
Beavers have really big, strong
tails that help them swim.
>> There's no stopping that
tail!
>> And Olive is really good at
bouncing the ball with her
trunk.
Elephants can do all kinds of
things with their trunks, like
push things or grab things!
>> Wow, I hadn't noticed all of
that before.
I wish I had a trunk!
(Imitating trumpet)
(Giggling)
>> Everyone is good at
something, but what am I good
at, Ms. Mole?
>> Well, Elinor, I think you
are really good at something.
>> Really?
>> Yes, you are really good at
noticing things!
Not everyone sees all the little
things that you do!
>> Yeah, you're a superstar at
noticing things, Elinor!
>> I guess I am, but is that
good for soccer?
>> Of course it is!
Playing is also about working
together and noticing what your
teammates can do.
For example, I bet you could
tell us what Ari is good at in
soccer.
>> Oh, I don't think I'm that
good at playing soccer.
>> Well, Ari, I noticed your
wings are really wide, and you
can fly up really high, and I
noticed that you are really
good at grabbing the ball with
your hands.
>> ARI: Yeah, it's a problem.
>> No, don't you see?
I think you'd be really good at
being the goalie!
Goalies can grab the ball with
their hands!
>> And wings!
>> Hey, I like that!
>> See, Elinor?
When you look closely, you see
that everyone is different, and
everyone is good at different
things!
>> That is so interesting!
We need more observations!

(Sighing happily )
>> Farmer Bear's Tomato
Festival.
My favorite summer tradition.
>> Me too, Ari!
Tomato food, tomato games--
>> And tomato clothes!
See how my scarf is red like a
tomato?
>> Cool.
>> Attention please!
Anyone who wants to enter the
Tomato Drop Contest, follow me
to the contest area now.
(Gasping)
>> The tomato drop contest!
>> Awesome!
>> Come on, let's go!
(Whistling)
>> Welcome to the Tomato Drop!
The first two teams who can drop
a tomato from the top of this
ladder safely without
splattering it, will win a
prize.
(Giggling)
(Kids cheering)
Each team gets three tomatoes,
and you can build anything you
like, to try to keep them from
splattering.
Did everyone bring supplies?
>> Yep.
>> BOTH: Uh-huh.
>> Great!
Then let's get this contest
started.
Are you ready?
Go-mato!
(Chuckling)
>> Okay, I've got a great idea!
We take two slices of bread, and
tie 'em around the tomato to
cushion it when it drops.
It's a sandwich and a cushion!
>> Bread might be too crumbly,
Ari.
>> Eh, you're right.
How 'bout a donut?
>> Hm, let's call that Plan B.
(All laughing)
>> I have an idea, too.
>> I got tape, some springs, and
a box!
What if we take these squishy
springs I brought and tape them
to the outside of this box?
Then we put the tomato inside.
>> Oh, so, when we drop the
tomato, it'll bounce instead of
splatting on the ground?
>> Hopefully!
>> Okay, let's try it!
>> Springs.
Now some tape.
Done!
>> And now the tomato.
Let's go!
>> Farmer Bear?
>> Ooh-hoo!
That's one springy box!
Ready when you are.
>> Ready?
(Gasping)
>> Whoa.
>> Hey, come back here!
>> Gotcha!
>> Let's see what'cha got!
(Elinor sighing)
>> Tomato goop?
I think it bounced around too
much.
>> Well, don't give up.
You still have two more
tomatoes!
>> Farmer Bear?
We're ready to try!
>> Look, the Lamb sisters are
using their soft wool to keep
the tomato from squishing!
>> Good luck!
>> Stand back!
>> Cool!
>> Wow!
>> ARI: It didn't splat!
(All cheering)
>> Nicely done!
Our first winners!
We'll give the prizes at the
end.
>> Now there's only one prize
left.
>> If only we had some wool!
>> We don't have to do the same
thing.
There must be more than one safe
way to drop a tomato.
(Wind howling)
Oh!
Dandelion fluff is nice and
soft, just like the wool.
(Gasping)
What if we use this to cushion
the tomato?
>> Oh, yeah!
>> ELINOR: But we'll need a lot
of it.
>> Then we'd better get
fluffin'!
(Giggling)
(Giggling)
>> Okay, I think we have enough
fluff.
(Wind blowing)
>> Oh, the fluff is getting
away!
>> Nothing a little tape can't
fix.
>> All done!
>> Farmer Bear?
>> Yes, Ari?
>> Can we try again?
>> Absolutely!
>> This time we've got the right
stuff!
Or should I say, the right
fluff?
(Both laughing)
>> Check this out!
>> Aw, it smooshed again!
I guess we didn't use enough
fluff.
>> See, you learn something,
even when they do smoosh.
Keep trying!
>> Keep trying, sure, but we
only have one tomato left!
>> That's okay.
We only need one safe drop!
Let's keep thinking.
What else can we try?
(Gasping)
(Wind blowing)
Hm.
Look at that leaf!
>> What about it?
>> It fell really slowly!
Look, I'll show you.
(Wind blowing)
>> That is slow.
>> A leaf falls slowly, but a
tomato falls fast.
>> Huh.
>> That's so interesting!
>> Too bad it isn't the other
way around.
If our tomato fell slowly, maybe
it wouldn't go splat.
>> Yes!
I wonder if there's a way to
help our tomato fall slowly too?
Hm.
We need more observations!
♪ Look high, look low ♪
♪ For things that might fall
slow ♪
♪ So we can figure out a way ♪
♪ To save our tomato ♪
>> Tomato?
>> Just go with it, Olive.
♪ We'll hold 'em up ♪
♪ And let 'em go ♪
♪ Until we try ♪
♪ We'll never know ♪
♪ Look high and low ♪

>> We found some great things!
Now let's see how they fall.
>> I'll put them in two piles
either fell fast or fell slow.
>> The leaf goes here, in the
slow pile.
>> Okay, first, the pinecone.
>> ALL: Fast!
>> Next, the paper.
(Wind blowing)
>> ALL: Slow!
>> Now let's try the twig.
>> ALL: Fast!
>> Huh.
I wonder what would happen if we
dropped my scarf?
>> Let's try it!
>> ARI & OLIVE: Slow!
>> ELINOR: Very slow!
It looks like it's catching the
air as it falls.
>> So, we have two things that
fell fast the pine cone and the
twig, and three that fell
slowly.
>> The leaf, the paper and my
scarf which was the slowest of
all!
>> I wonder what would happen
if we taped your slow-falling
scarf to our tomato.
>> Yeah, maybe the tomato would
fall more slowly, too?
>> Okay, the scarf fell slowly
like a parachute, so we should
try to tape it to the tomato
that way.
>> OLIVE: We can tie a string to
each corner of the scarf and
tape the other ends to the
tomato.
>> Yes, let's try it!
I'll get the string.
>> Cool, and now the tape.
>> Oh, no.
We're out of tape!
Now, how can we attach the
strings to the tomato?
>> Hm.
My donut!
>> Ari, this is no time for a
snack!
>> Oh, yes it is.
We can tie the strings to the
donut!
>> Awesome!
(Giggling)
>> We're ready to try it!
>> Aww, good effort, Sally.
>> Farmer Bear, we have one more
try!
>> Here we go!
>> BOTH: Oh, I can't watch!
>> Three.
Two.
One.
Drop!
(All cheering)
>> Hooray!
Well done, kids, how did you
come up with this idea?
>> Well, the scarf fell slowly
and that gave us the idea to use
it like a parachute.
>> My, what clever scientists.
Winners follow me!
>> Look, it's Mr. Tomato!
>> Ooh, a prize!
>> Ooh.
Let me guess what it is, um...
Oh, a pineapple?
(All gasping)
>> Guess again!
(Both giggling)
>> Let's take a picture of the
winners!
Ready?
Say "Tomato!"
>> ALL: Tomato!

Alright, class, who's ready to
play soccer?
>> Me!
>> I am!
>> I want to play!
>> Okay, let's go!
>> KIDS: Cool!
Whoa!
(Laughing)
>> Wow!
(Grunting)
>> I can't wait to start
playing!
>> Yeah, me too, Elinor!
I bet I'm going to be a super
sensational soccer star!
>> Whoa, wah!
Huh, okay, maybe I should learn
how to play first.
(Grunting)
>> Oh, Ari.
What are you reading, Olive?
>> It's the rule book.
It tells you all the things you
can and can't do when you
play soccer.
Reading about the rules is my
favorite part of any game.
(All laughing)
>> Well, my favorite part of any
game is the playing part!
Let's go!
(Giggling)
>> Yes!
>> Okay, kids!
Soccer is a wonderful game where
you play with a ball in all
kinds of different ways.
You can run with it...
(Grunting)
...kick it, or bounce it off
your body, but the only thing
you can't do is use your hands,
unless you're the goalie.
>> The goalie's the one who
tries to stop the ball from
going in the net, right Ms.
Mole?
>> That's right, Olive.
I see you found my rule book!
>> You betcha!
(Giggling)
>> Goalies can use their hands,
but everyone else has to use the
other parts of their body.
Like their feet!
But the most important thing is
to just have fun and do your
best.
Remember, everyone is good at
different things!
>> KIDS: Whoa!
>> That was amazing!
>> Let's give it a try!
Here ya go Sally.
>> KIDS: Yay!
(Laughing)
(Grunting)
Yes!
(Whistling)
>> Ah-ah!
Remember, Ari.
No hands.
>> Ah, sorry!
>> Heads up, Elinor!
>> Here ya go, Olive!
>> Right back at you, Elinor.
>> Over to you, Ari!
>> Okay, watch this move!
>> Wha!
(Giggling)
>> Maybe not that move.
>> Thanks, Olive.
(Blowing whistle)
>> Okay, are you ready to try
some fun soccer moves?
>> I'm ready!
>> Me, too!
>> And me!
>> Splendid!
Now, in soccer you have to move
fast, so first, let's do some
running.
>> Ready?
Go!
(Panting)
>> Silas, you're really fast.
(Giggling)
>> That was a lot of running!
I usually fly when I'm in a
hurry.
>> Hm, there's nothing in the
rules that say you can't fly,
Ari.
>> Really?
(Blowing whistle)
>> Okay, come on back!
(Panting)
Now, let's try moving the ball
in different ways.
This is called "dribbling."
And "passing!"
(Panting)
(Grunting)
Oh, sorry.
(Giggling)
Whoa!
(Giggling)
>> Wow, Mary and Lizzie are good
at this!
>> Yeah!
>> Whoa, ah!
(Whistling)
>> Ari!
Remember, no hands!
>> Sorry.
>> Now let's see how far you can
kick the ball!
(Grunting)
>> Whoa!
(Sighing)
>> Whoa!
>> Great kick, Sally!
>> Your tail is really strong!
>> That was amazing!
>> You can also juggle the ball
with your feet.
Give it a try!
(Grunting)
>> Aww, this is hard!
>> I agree.
>> Whoa, are you allowed to do
that?
>> You can use anything except
your hands.
>> Oops.
>> So, yes, Ari.
>> Wow, who knew Olive had a
nose for soccer?
(Giggling)
>> Go, Olive!
(Sighing)
>> Oof!
(Sighing)
(Sighing)
>> Training to be a super soccer
star is hard work, huh?
>> Yeah.
>> Hm.
>> What's the matter, soccer
stars?
>> I'm really excited about
playing, Ms. Mole, but I don't
know what I'm good at.
>> Me neither.
>> Hm.
Exactly what do you mean by
that, Elinor?
>> Well, everyone is good at
something.
Silas is a really good runner.
He's a cheetah, and cheetahs
have long legs that help them
run fast.
>> ARI: Super fast!
>> And Mary and Lizzie are
really good at dribbling and
passing the ball.
That's because goats have extra
strong legs they use for
climbing and kicking.
>> Right on target.
>> Sally is great at kicking the
ball with her tail.
Beavers have really big, strong
tails that help them swim.
>> There's no stopping that
tail!
>> And Olive is really good at
bouncing the ball with her
trunk.
Elephants can do all kinds of
things with their trunks, like
push things or grab things!
>> Wow, I hadn't noticed all of
that before.
I wish I had a trunk!
(Imitating trumpet)
(Giggling)
>> Everyone is good at
something, but what am I good
at, Ms. Mole?
>> Well, Elinor, I think you
are really good at something.
>> Really?
>> Yes, you are really good at
noticing things!
Not everyone sees all the little
things that you do!
>> Yeah, you're a superstar at
noticing things, Elinor!
>> I guess I am, but is that
good for soccer?
>> Of course it is!
Playing is also about working
together and noticing what your
teammates can do.
For example, I bet you could
tell us what Ari is good at in
soccer.
>> Oh, I don't think I'm that
good at playing soccer.
>> Well, Ari, I noticed your
wings are really wide, and you
can fly up really high, and I
noticed that you are really
good at grabbing the ball with
your hands.
>> ARI: Yeah, it's a problem.
>> No, don't you see?
I think you'd be really good at
being the goalie!
Goalies can grab the ball with
their hands!
>> And wings!
>> Hey, I like that!
>> See, Elinor?
When you look closely, you see
that everyone is different, and
everyone is good at different
things!
>> That is so interesting!

it's up high!

feet are good for hopping!

stopping the ball, which...

not your hands!
(Both laughing)
