- Hi Catie!
- Hey Tobee, here, let me help you with that.
- Oh thanks woo.
- It's raining pretty hard outside, isn't it?
- Really hard. (giggles)
Okay, I'm ready.
- Welcome to Sing Along With--
♪ Tobee ♪
- (giggles) Wow, my mom said that it was
raining cats and dogs,
(laughs) but I only saw raindrops, lot's and lots.
- It's supposed to rain all week.
I don't mind though.
It's nice being inside, I get to do crafts and paint.
- Oh yeah.
Oh, I like playing games with my family
like Checkers and Go Fish, (laughs)
oh and sometimes we have dance parties. (laughing)
- Awesome.
You know my favorite thing to do when it's raining outside
is make crafts. (Tobee gasps)
Oh, check out this rain stick I made.
(stick swishes)
- Wow, it sounds just like rain! (laughs)
How did you make it?
- Oh, I'll show you.
All we need is a few supplies
like a cardboard tube,
aluminum foil,
tape, scissors, rubber bands,
some construction paper and rice.
- Oh, I love rice.
I love rice and beans, sticky rice, white rice,
brown rice and wild rice.
- Well this rice isn't for eating.
It's gonna make the sound of the rain in our rain stick.
I'll show you. - Okay.
- First, we take the cardboard tube and decorate it.
What color do you wanna use?
- Um, uh, oh green.
- Okay, green it is.
First we take a piece of tape
and tape on the paper.
Then roll it up
(Tobee giggles) with another piece of tape.
Like that. - Huh.
- Then we put a piece of construction paper on the end
so that the rice won't fall out
and I'm gonna use yellow.
And secure it with a rubber band.
- Huh, mm.
- There.
Now we take a piece of aluminum foil
(foil rustling)
and twist it
(foil rustling)
twist it up like this.
(cheerful music)
There.
And put it in the tube and that's gonna slow down the rice
- Ah. - To make it sound like rain
inside our rain stick.
- So when do you put in the rice?
- Now. (giggles)
- But but, don't you cook it first?
- Nope, it has to be hard.
- Oh. (giggles)
- Here it comes.
(rice clicking)
Then you put a piece of paper on the other end
and secure it with a rubber band.
(Tobee chuckles)
And viola, a rain stick.
- Wow. (laughs)
(rain stick swishing)
It sounds like falling rain.
- It sure does.
Makes me wanna sing a song about the rain.
Let's sing, "Rain Rain Go Away".
I'll teach you the song and some moves too.
Follow along, here we go.
- Hit it, Catie.
- Okay let's start with daddy.
(cheerful music)
♪ Rain rain go away, come again another day ♪
♪ Daddy wants to play, rain rain go away ♪
Now let's do mommy.
- Okay. (clears throat)
♪ Rain rain go away, come again another day ♪
♪ Mommy wants to play, rain rain go away ♪
- Now brother.
♪ Rain rain go away, come again another day ♪
♪ Brother wants to play, rain rain go away ♪
We did daddy, mommy, brother, now sister.
♪ Rain rain go away, come again another day ♪
♪ Sister wants to play, rain rain go away ♪
And now baby, the small one.
- Yeah. (Catie giggles)
♪ Rain rain go away, come again another day ♪
♪ Baby wants to play, rain rain go away ♪
(Tobee giggles) - Now, all the family.
(Catie giggles)
♪ Rain rain go away, come again another day ♪
♪ All the family wants to play, rain rain go away ♪
(clapping) (Tobee laughing)
- That was a great song, Catie,
but I don't want the rain to go away, I like the rain.
- Me too.
There's so many good things about the rain.
It helps our fruits and vegetables grow
and gives us water to drink.
- Yes, oh and puddles to jump in. (laughs)
I love jumping in puddles. (laughs)
Oh, but don't tell my mom I said that,
it gets my shoes wet. (laughs)
- Well, I won't say anything, but she might have heard you.
We're doing the show, remember?
- (gasps) Oh yeah!
Hi mom. (laughs)
I'll see you at home. (laughing)
(whispering) After I jump in some puddles. (laughs)
Uh, just kidding. (laughing)
(whispering) Or not. (Catie laughs)
- That's all for today,
we'll see you next time on Sing Along With Tobee.
- Bye bye.
(cheerful music)
- [Child] Woo!
