Squiggle: Wibbly is painting. He has painted a lion, a clown, a kite, a house and a flower! When he accidentally splashes the paper and then paints a squiggle to cover it, the squiggle comes to life and chases all around the paper - changing the painting he has already done! Suddenly the clown has a bow tie - the kite has a tail and a squiggly sun shines over the house - it's all that cheeky squiggle! Then we discover how to start a picture with a squiggle! Shadows: Wibbly is making shadows on the wall in the moonlight. He shows us how his own shadow copies everything he does - but then his shadow seems to get ideas of its own! It runs all around the room, up and down and all around! Then it changes into a spotty shadow, a stripy shadow - even a zig zaggy shadow! When will this naughty shadow start behaving itself... actually... this is more fun, and Wibbly and his shadows perform the Super Shadow Show! Then a cloud comes across the moon, the light fades and the shadows disappear.

Castle: Wibbly has arranged an array of large cardboard boxes and made his very own castle. The thing is, there is a Dragon inside, hiding in its lair. We decide to go with him to find it. Along the way we meet the King and his Wizard, and both are worried about this dragon, its long claws and scales and its fiery breath. Finally we venture into the dungeons and find... a very small lovely dragon making toast! Wibbly knew all along! Flowerpots: Wibbly is planting a seed - at least he's trying to, if that cheeky bird doesn't eat them all first! He has no idea what it might grow in to. A daisy, or a tree, or a Pigley tree! Once it is settled deep in the soil we watch it to see what happens - but it takes ages! Day after day there is still no green shoot, until we imagine what it is going to be - perhaps a great big beanstalk that provides curly slides and swings! In the end the seed pokes out the smallest of shoots - and we learn from the packet that it will grow up to be a sunflower.

Telescope: Aunt Larlie has sent Wibbly a present - a long telescope! Wibbly loves the way it can make things look so much closer than they are! First we try looking at Pigley, then we try looking at the trees in the garden and then, that night, we start looking at space! There, in front of our eyes, there are some space pigs dancing in the starry sky! This telescope really is one of the best presents ever! But then a huge comet starts falling towards us, it looks disastrous... until Wibbly realises it is only a small sticker from his space chart made to look bigger by the telescope! Star: Wibbly is feeling very nervous about the play he is doing later. He needs some luck to make sure it goes well! Then he finds a small silver star in the garden - his lucky star! He asks the star to give him luck - but the star tells him he doesn't need luck - he just needs to do his best! Wibbly isn't convinced, so the star says if Wibbly helps her get back into the sky then he shall learn about luck. As they try to get her higher and higher the little star demonstrates that the plants that grow and the spiders that weave don't need luck - they need hard work. Wibbly gets the message and the show is a success!

Balloons: Wibbly is having a party and blowing up a lot of balloons - the problem is they won't stay up in the air. He tries blowing them, throwing them and holding them but it is no good. Then we imagine what journey you might go on if the balloons were to float up high and take us into the sky. We fly with Wibbly and his balloons across the face of a rainbow, before landing again and blowing up a whole host of balloon animal friends - just in time for the party!Boat: Wibbly is using a box to make a boat to go on an adventure! We need a mast and a sail. Tiny Pig comes too, but he's not sure how the sail works. First there is a gentle breeze which helps the boat move slowly and gently. Wibbly draws a map as we go. Along the way we meet a crab and a whale! The wind picks up and blows us to a desert island where we meet Scruffy Pig. We offer to take him home - but aren't sure how to get home. Then Wibbly remembers - he has drawn a map - we just have to hope for a good strong wind to fill the sail and blow us back home!

Noise: Wibbly is standing very very still. He has heard a strange noise and doesn't know what it is. Together we decide to go and find it. Is it coming from the bedroom? It sounds like a spaceship? No! That strange noise is a little clockwork frog! Is it coming from the bathroom? It sounds like an octopus taking a shower! No! That strange noise is a drippy tap! It's coming from the garden! We creep slowly towards the clickety clackety racket and find... Aunt Larlie doing her knitting! Dance: What sort of music makes you want to wiggle and dance? We all like different things! Wibbly can't seem to find the right music, and no matter how many CD's he puts into his bright yellow CD player nothing seems right. Big Pig loves marching, and we all march with him. Spotty Pig loves jungle music, and we all pretend to be animals with him! The Pig Twins like doing the mirror dance and even Tiny Pig has his own favourite music. In the end Wibbly and his friends put all the music together and dance to it all!

Rocking Horse: Wibbly is proudly showing off his new rocking horse, Rocket, to Tiny Pig. Wibbly can't wait to ride him and dreams of being a cowboy - but he isn't the only one with dreams of the wild west - Rocket dreams of being a horse out on the plains, being able to gallop along as fast as the wind! Wibbly soon realises that riding a horse isn't as easy as he thought, but, together with Tiny Pig, they take it slowly, and even manage to round up a few cattle. That makes them real cowboys! Orchestra: Wibbly introduces us to his new orchestra... a chicken. It seems a bit small for an orchestra, and the chicken won't sing! Suddenly we meet a bear making 'boom boom' sounds on his belly and some birds singing sweetly like clarinets. There's even two elephants trumpeting away, as well as a honking goose - but still the chicken won't sing... that is until she meets - another chicken! Wibbly's orchestra is complete! But where did Wibbly find all these animals from?

Jungle: Wibbly is in the deepest jungle searching for a very special creature - one that very few people have ever seen. It is known as the Fligley-Imple. They can't seem to find it anywhere. Even though they ask an elephant and a lion and even take on the dangers of quick sand... or is it slow sand? Eventually Wibbly tracks down the Fligley-Imple with its three heads, six legs on one big body... did you guess? It's Flop, Pigley and Dimple! Tickly Sweater: When Wibbly is doing some spring cleaning he puts a few old things into a basket - but he and Tiny Pig can't get the lid on - they will have to take some things out. That's when they find Wibbly's old favourite sweater - which he tries to put on. But it is far too small! Wibbly insists it still fits and pulls and tugs until he squeezes into it - but once its on it itches! He has to take it off - still insisting it fits. By accident it somehow ends up on Tiny Pig - who it fits perfectly... but what has been making it itch?

Car: Wibbly likes driving in his car... he doesn't know where he is going, just that the trip is worth the time. But despite his best efforts to take Pigley on a pleasant drive he finds he keeps getting interrupted by other road users! The Pig Twins seems to love speed and whizz around, Scruffy Pig kicks up a cloud of dust with his big scruffy tractor and Tiny Pig causes a traffic jam as he is too polite to overtake a snail! In the end a race is called - but Wibbly has a plan to make sure his afternoon stays peaceful! Spaceship: It doesn't seem to matter how messy Wibbly's room is, no-one wants to help tidy up! They would much rather play spaceships! Poor Scruffy wants to be the driver and the navigator and the co-pilot, but he has to make do with sitting at the back whilst Wibbly takes the helm. But when their spaceship launches they find themselves in a curious universe, cluttered with toys. Enjoying the weightless grace of walking in space the pig friends tidy up the galaxy and when they return to earth they find the room has been tidied too!

Picnic: Wibbly and his friends, the Big brown Bear and the little green Dragon, are meeting up to have a picnic...They all bring their own favorite foods!Self Portrait: Aunt Larlie loves the pictures that Wibbly paints - and she really wants a picture of him - but how can you draw a picture of yourself when you don't have a mirror to look in?
