- Oh, hi!
Welcome to Sesame Street.
- Hey Elmo.
- Oh, hi Alan.
- What's all this?
- Well Elmo has an arts and craft play date with Zoe today.
So Elmo brought all these things to make art with.
- Well, what do you know?
I'm doing a little painting myself today on that old chair.
- Wow. - Yeah.
All right, anyways, I'm gonna get back to it.
Have fun.
- Be careful with the paint.
- [Alan] I will!
- Hey, Elmo!
- Hi, Zoe!
- Hi, I'm sorry I'm late, but Rocco had to go to the potty.
- But Rocco's just a rock.
- Well, Rocco needed a bathroom.
- Oh well, Elmo's glad you're here
because now Elmo and Zoe can start our play date!
- Yeah!
What?
Oh.
Oh. Oh no.
- What now?
- Well, Rocco says he wants his own play date.
- Well just, then find another rock!
- Oh, Rocco doesn't like to play with rocks.
- Well, why not?
- He thinks rocks are boring.
- What?
- Yeah.
I don't know if you know much about rocks Elmo,
but rocks don't do much.
They just sit there.
- You mean like Rocco?
- Oh don't be silly.
Rocco's different!
Rocco's a rock who likes to live life to the fullest.
- Okay Zoe.
What kind of friend does Rocco want?
- Rock says he wants a friend who is loyal.
A friend who has dreams.
- Yeah yeah yeah, okay.
- A friend who loves adventure.
- Okay okay okay.
- Plus he has to be round.
- What?
Round?
- What can I say?
Rocco's very particular.
- If Elmo finds Rocco a friend,
then can Elmo and Zoe play arts and craft?
- Sure!
- Okay okay.
Then Elmo's off to find Rocco a round friend.
- Oh boy, Rocco!
Isn't this exciting?
- Okay.
Here's Rocco's new round friend.
- Oh, what do you think Rocco?
- Well?
- Rocco says he's not sure.
- Well why not?
- Rocco says he wanted a friend with a face.
- A face?
- And hair.
- Let's make a friend for Rocco, Zoe.

See that?
What does Rocco think?
- Rocco wants to know his name.
- Name?
Zoe, but it's just a balloon!
- A balloon that needs a name.
- Oh all right.
His name is Balloono.
Here.
- Rocco likes Balloono.
- Good.
Now can Elmo and Zoe play?
- Oh sure.
But just one minute.
- Okay, but hurry!
- Here we go!
Jump, Balloono, jump!
Wow.
Balloono sure can jump high, can't he, Rocco?
- [Elmo] Uh-oh.
- Rocco wants to know when Balloono's coming back down.
- Elmo doesn't think Balloono's coming back down.
- Oh no.
Rocco's upset.
And it's all Balloono's fault.
- Don't blame Balloono, he's just an innocent balloon!
- A Balloon that broke Rocco's heart.
- Hey guys, guys.
Hey, I saw what happened
and I know why Balloono floated away.
- Because he didn't like Rocco?
- No, no.
It floated away because it was filled with helium,
which is lighter than air, and so it floats.
Wasn't because he didn't like Rocco.
- Okay, now that Balloono is gone,
can Zoe and Elmo play?
- How can I play in a time like this?
My Rocco still needs a friend.
- Another friend?
- Well didn't you have fun making Balloono?
- Well, yeah.
Elmo guesses so.
- So do you think you could make another friend for Rocco?
- Okay.
Elmo will do it.
Now what kind of friend should Elmo make this time?
- Well, Rocco doesn't want another friend to float away.
So maybe this friend should be made of something heavier
than a balloon.
- That's good thinking Zoe.
- It was Rocco's idea.
- Oh.
Well then good thinking, Rocco.
All right.
I'll see you guys later.
- Okay.
Something heavier than a balloon.
- And Rocco wants to remind you that it should be round.
- Round, right.
Ooh, Elmo's got it!
Be right back!

Go on, Rocco.
Say hello.
- Well, Rocco says he can't say hello,
til he knows his new friend's name.
- His name is Eggie.
Here.
- Hello, Eggie!
What, Rocco?
Yeah yeah!
That sounds really fun.
- What does?
- Rocco wants to play Patty cake with Eggie.
- Oh good.
Eggie likes that game.
♪ Patty cake, patty cake, baker's man ♪
- Eggie!
- Oh no!
- What did Rocco do to Eggie?
- Rocco didn't mean to, and he feels just terrible!
Oh, there there, Rocco.
Don't cry!
- Guys, what happened this time?
- Oh, well, Elmo made Rocco a beautiful egg friend
but Rocco broke him!
- Oh, well Elmo, it really wasn't Rocco's fault.
See, eggshells are very fragile so they can crack easily.
- Ah, see Rocco.
It's not your fault.
- I'm gonna get something to clean this up.
- You owe Rocco an apology.
- Rocco's just a rock.
- A rock whose feelings are hurt.
- Sorry, Rocco.
- Rocco says thank you.
- But Elmo doesn't think he can ever make Rocco
the right friend!
- Sure you can, Elmo.
You just haven't found a friend made
out of the right kind of materials yet.
- Okay.
So Elmo needs to make a friend that's not too light.
- Mhmm.
Or too fragile.
- That's right.
- But, but then what can Rocco's friend be made of?
- Stop stop!
Stop the sponge, Alan!
- What?
- Is Alan's sponge round?
- Yeah.
Why?
- Elmo thinks he can find a perfect play date friend
for Rocco.
And his name is.. oh!
Spongerino!
Because sponges aren't lighter than air,
so they won't float away.
He's not fragile, so he won't crack.
- Yeah!
- Come on, Zoe!
Let's get to work!

- No.
- No?
- I want to play my play date with you, Elmo.
- Oh yay!
Let's make arts and crafts together!
- What should we make?
- How about more friends for Rocco?
Elmo can't believe he just said that.
- Good idea, I love these colors.
- Yeah, they are nice, aren't they?
- What should we make?
- Let's see.
- How about a cow?
- A cow?
