In the Night Garden, All Together

The Tombliboos have discovered a new game–hiding in the garden. Where have the Tombliboos gone? Makka Pakka arrives with his Og-Pog. He blows his trumpet and there are the Tombliboos running out from behind the bush to have their faces washed.

Everyone is riding on the Pinky Ponk when the Ding Dong alarm goes. The Pinky Ponk goes up, up and over and down, down and under. Everyone has a very adventurous ride.

Igglepiggle is taking a ride on the Ninky Nonk; Upsy Daisy then gets on, she and Igglepiggle wave to each other from their different carriages. The Ninky Nonk travels around the garden and soon everybody is on board. The Tombliboos and Makka Pakka wave to Upsy Daisy and Igglepiggle. Even the teeny tiny Pontipines are waving to their neighbours the Wottingers.  Everybody loves waving.

Tombliboo Ooo is building a tower of bricks. Here comes Tombliboo Eee, she spots her favourite brick in Ooo’s tower. Be careful Tombliboo Eee! She knocks over Ooo’s tower trying to get her brick. Ooo is upset about his tower and starts to play sad music on the Tombliboo piano. Ooo’s sad music makes Eee and Unn sad as well so they join. The Tombliboo’s sad music makes everybody else in the garden sad. Tombliboo Unn decides to start playing the Tombliboo drums. What happy drumming. The Tombliboos begin to play happy music which makes everyone happy again.

What’s that noise? It’s the ball! The ball is bouncing through the garden and lands straight on Upsy Daisy’s bed! The bed carries the ball all the way to Upsy Daisy. Upsy Daisy tucks the ball in so it can have a rest. The Tombliboos want to play with the ball but Upsy Daisy won’t let them because she thinks it’s tired. Who’s here? It’s Igglepiggle! Igglepiggle takes the ball and everybody chases him through the garden. Everybody loves to play with the ball and they all join in the dance at the Gazebo.

The Pontipines count to three. First the Tombliboos play hiding, then the Pontipines set off for a walk around the garden. As always, Mr and Mrs Pontipine lose the children. Which flowerpot are they hiding in–the big one, small one or the one in between? The home time bell rings and Mr and Mrs Pontipine head back to the house. Meanwhile, the children go rolling home in the biggest flowerpot. Everybody joins in the dance at the gazebo.

The Pontipines are counting to five. Makka Pakka is building a pile of five stones. The Tombliboos are inside their bush, building with their very own bricks. Each Tombliboo is building a tower and when they begin to compare towers and share bricks, they succeed in building a very tall tower indeed–a tower of five. Everybody joins in the dance at the gazebo.

The Tombliboos explore inside their house. It is full of interesting spaces, stairs to climb and slides to slide down. Today they go right to the top of their house-each one higher than the next-but down below Makka Pakka is waiting to wash their faces so they must come all the way down again.

The Tombliboos are in their house when Makka Pakka comes to call. In their haste to leave, Tombliboo Eee keeps going the wrong way. Finally, they discover that they can find their way together.

The Tombliboos are playing inside when they hear something outdoors, it’s the ball. Ooo collects the ball and brings it inside. The Tombliboos play with the ball indoors until it flies out the window. Look out Makka Pakka! Makka Pakka loves the ball.

Makka Pakka has a pile of six stones. He gives one stone to Igglepiggle and one stone to Upsy Daisy. Upsy Daisy tucks her stone safely in her bed. Makka Pakka gives a stone to each of the Tombliboos. What’s that noise? It’s the teeny tiny Pontipines and they’ve taken Makka Pakka’s last stone! Upsy Daisy is tired and sits down on her bed for a rest. What’s that? A stone! Upsy Daisy had forgotten all about the stone Makka Pakka had given her. Once she finds it she gives it back to him. Now Makka Pakka has a stone again, what a lovely present!

Igglepiggle discovers the stones, which Makka Pakka has most carefully tidied into a special pattern. Dancing on his way, Igglepiggle accidentally knocks over the stones. He tries to put them back as they were, but somehow they are never quite right. Makka Pakka returns and cheerfully restores the stones to perfect order.

Upsy Daisy gives her special stone to Igglepiggle to look after whilst she rides the Ninky Nonk. Igglepiggle starts to play with the ball and forgets all about Upsy Daisy’s stone! Makka Pakka finds the stone and gives it back to Igglepiggle so that he can give it back to Upsy Daisy–just in time.

Makka Pakka sets off through the garden looking for stones to wash and tidy. He is so busy he loses his way–oh dear, which way is home? No need to worry-because here comes the Pinky Ponk. Makka Pakka follows the Pinky Ponk all the way home. Everybody joins in the dance at the gazebo.

Igglepiggle and Upsy Daisy are best friends, but today Igglepiggle cannot find Upsy Daisy. He asks Makka Pakka. He asks the Tombliboos, until finally Upsy Daisy’s bed leads him back to Upsy Daisy.

Igglepiggle tucks himself up in Upsy Daisy’s bed. When Upsy Daisy comes back, he has to jump out quickly because, even though Igglepiggle and Upsy Daisy are best friends, only Upsy Daisy is allowed to sleep in Upsy Daisy’s bed.

Makka Pakka makes a pile of six stones. One by one he gives everyone in the garden a stone for a present. He is left with one–a special stone for Makka Pakka.

Makka Pakka is in the garden looking for stones but he can’t find any anywhere! Igglepiggle is walking in the garden and comes across a stone, he decides to find Makka Pakka and give the stone to him. Upsy Daisy finds a stone and gives it to Makka Pakka then the Tombliboos find 1-2-3 stones and give them all to Makka Pakka. Makka Pakka’s friends have given him 5 stones! Here come the teeny tiny Pontipines and they’re carrying a stone for Makka Pakka. Makka Pakka now has six stones! What lovely friends.

Upsy Daisy is kissing everything in the garden. She kisses a tree, a flower and Igglepiggle. She rides around the garden in the Ninky Nonk visiting and kissing people and things. Suddenly the Ninky Nonk stops and won’t go. Upsy Daisy wonders why–then realises the Ninky Nonk wants a kiss too!

Igglepiggle falls down flat and gets a muddy patch on his tummy. He gets the mud on his hand, on his blanket and on Upsy Daisy. Igglepiggle and Upsy Daisy go riding in the Ninky Nonk and spread mucky patches all over that too. Finally they meet Makka Pakka who washes them all clean. Thank you Makka Pakka! Everybody joins in the dance at the gazebo.
