|
Storyworld | Grandmamma tries building a tower with the big blocks that the children have given her, but keeps knocking it over just as it reaches its highest height. She ultimately builds a tower even taller than she is (and is even able to carry it off), thanks to the children's rather heavy-duty solution to the problem: a forklift! |
| Boohbah Dance | Grandmamma's blocks aren't the only things falling over numerous times...but the Boohbahs can also fall up.
This dance was originally performed in "Settee & Cushions". |
