- (laughing) Hi!
Welcome to "Elmo's World!"
Guess what Elmo is wondering about today.
(thoughts twinkling) Wait for it. Wait for it.
Blocks, yeah!
Look, Elmo's friend Zoe has some alphabet blocks.
Z-O-E, Zoe! Yay!
Great job Zoe! Yeah!
Boy, Elmo wants to learn all about blocks.
Oh, let's ask Elmo's friend Smartie.
Let's call her together.
- [Elmo And Children] Oh Smartie!
(Smartie swooshing)
- Hiya Elmo, I was just playing Knock-A-Block, my new game.
- That's great. We were just talking about blocks.
Oh Elmo wants to learn all about blocks, Smartie.
- Well, what do we do to learn something new?
- [All] We look it up!
- Searching for blocks, here we go.
Blocks are toys you can build with.
They come in all different shapes like squares, rectangles
and triangles.
Blocks can be made of different things like wood
or cardboard or foam.
You can build all kinds of things with blocks like a house
even a whole city.
And part of the fun of building with blocks
is knocking them down.
See you later Elmo. - Bye bye Smartie.
Boy, Elmo loves playing with blocks
Hey, that gives Elmo an idea.
Let's play a game together.
Yeah, come on, come on. (playful music)
(chalk drawing)
Elmo wonders if we can build a block house
that matches this one.
Which block should we use first?
- [Children] Let's start with the rectangle.
- [Elmo] Let's do it.
Which block should we use next?
- [Children] Another rectangle.
- [Elmo] Oops. There are no rectangle blocks left.
- [Children] Use two squares.
- [Elmo] Oh yeah, two squares make a rectangle.
Now what do we use for the roof?
This block?
- [Child] No, that doesn't look right.
Try again.
- [Children] Use the triangle block.
- [Elmo] Like this? - [Child] No, turn it around.
- [Elmo] Like this. - [Child] That's it!
- [Child] It matches the other block house.
- Yay, we did it! Good job, everybody.
Boy, sure is fun to build with blocks.
Hey, that makes Elmo wonder even more.
How do you build a block tower?
Ah, maybe Mr. Noodle knows.
Let's ask him Hey Mr. Noodle!
- [Children] Mr. Noodle! - Hi Mr. Noodle.
Mr. Noodle, do you know how to build a block tower?
- [Children] Yeah, show us how.
- [Elmo] Show us Mr. Noodle.
(children giggling) He's got beach balls.
- [Children] He's building a beach ball tower.
- [Elmo] You can't build with beach balls, Mr. Noodle.
- [Child] You build a block tower with blocks.
- [Elmo] Yeah, you know, blocks?
Yeah, they have flat sides so you can stack them up.
Try again, Mr. Noodle.
What's that?
- [Children] What's he got now?
- [Child] Is that a lunchbox?
(children laughing)
- [Child] He's making a sandwich tower.
- [Elmo] Mr. Noodle,
you can't make a block tower with sandwiches.
Mr. Noodle, we wanna see a block tower,
not a sandwich tower.
Looks good though.
- [Children] Yes.
- [Child] Those are building blocks.
- [Elmo] You got it Mr. Noodle.
Now let's see you build a block tower.
Oh, look at him go. - [Children] Wow, he's fast.
- [Elmo] Go for it. Mr. Noodle.
Uh-huh, uh-huh, now keep it going.
- [Child] Wow, that's a great fort tower.
- [Elmo] Thank you Mr. Noodle.
Mr. Noodle? Where'd you go?
Mr. Noodle?
- [Children] Where's Mr. Noodle?
- [Child] There he is.
- Oh, thank you Mr. Noodle.

My sister loves playing with building blocks,

One block coming up.

That's shaped like a triangle.
Waste not, want not.
(Cookie Monster munching)
(Gonger clears throat)
- A block has six sides that are all squares.
- Ah, okay, oh boy. It hopeless.
We got no food shaped like a block.
- Oh, no, no, don't be sad Cookie.
No, we can make a beet and watermelon salad, see?
- [Cookie Monster] Oh, goodie.
Watermelon and beets all shaped like blocks.
Okay, what we need?
- [Gonger] Well let's have a little
looky looky at the recipe.
So we need beets, watermelon, feta cheese,
olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
- Me got everything.
- Uh, Cookie, where about the beets?
- Oh, right here. (beat boxes)
- No, no, not that kind of beats.
The veggie. Look.
- Oh, the veggie, okay.
Uh yeah, we don't have those
- Don't worry, don't worry.
We can't get more beets from the beet farm.
- Oh, the beet farm. Oh, goodie, goodie, goodie.
Yeah, you're gonna love it, come on.
(Cookie Monster beat boxing)
- We going to the beet farm.
("Monster Foody Theme")
- [Both] To the beet farm!
♪ Beet farm, beet farm, we're going to a beet farm ♪
- Boy oh boy oh boy oh boy. Here we are at the--
- [Both] Beet farm.
- [Cookie Monster] We need beets. Can you help us please?
- Hello Cookie Monster and Gonger.
Welcome to the beet farm. Of course I can help.
This field is loaded with beets.
The leaves on top are beet greens,
but the beet itself is a root and grows underground, see?
When the beets are ready to be harvested,
they're picked by hand.
We pull them out by their tops just like this.
The beets are washed and weighed.
Then go to farm stands and supermarkets.
There are many different types of beets
in all kinds of colors.
Red beets, pink beets, orange beets.
Some beets even have stripes, but no matter what the color
they're all healthy and delicious.
Here are some beets to make
your beet and watermelon salad, Cookie and Gonger.
- [Cookie And Gonger] Thank you Mr. Farmer.
♪ Beets, beets, we're going home with beets ♪
- Ta-dah, lots of beets.
Okay, me wonder how we turn beets
and watermelon into blocks?
How that possible?
- Well what if we check the recipe?
- Now that a good idea. Okay, let's try.
- [Gonger] Okay, let's have a little looky looky.
First, we roast the beets. - Roasting beets.
- Ah, now why are those cool,
we chop the watermelon into blocks.
- [Cookie Monster] Choppy choppy choppy choppy choppy.
- Now we're chop the beets into blocks.
- [Cookie Monster] Choppy choppy choppy choppy choppy.
- Now we put the beets, the watermelon,
and the feta choose on the plot.
And drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar on it.
- Okay. Drizzle, drizzle.
Drizzle olive oil, drizzle balsamic vinegar.
Ah, beet and watermelon salad
looks so colorful and delicious.
(gong chimes) - It's ready!
(food flying)
- Bon voyage, beets! - Bye-bye blocks!
- Oh, Cookie Monster. I've got this nice for you.
- Oh, thank you Gonger.
