Have you seen The Piccolini Trio?

Oh, I love these guys...they make me laugh, but this video makes me cringe a little too...haha. 

(please don't try this at home...you don't want to be responsible for all those broken dishes!)

Sing a popular Swahili song!

Swahili is a language spoken by people who live in a part of Africa. It is the national language of Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. 

Watch this first video and sing along...then I've posted another video that explains what you're singing!

"Le papillon" means "butterfly" in French!

A little girl has a lot of questions for her grandpa...

Learn your numbers in Spanish!

This week, we're going to learn how to count in Spanish! Or do you already know how?

How many languages do you know?

One? Two? Maybe even three?

Growing up, we spoke French and English at home and now I mainly speak English. I love the way other languages sound and I especially love all the different ways we can communicate with each other.

I'm going to share a video each week that focuses on different languages. Can you sing along?

Caspar Babypants is back!

It's been too long since we've posted a video, so here you go...Caspar Babypants!

What's in store for 2013?

Hello, hello, and bonjour! 

Whew, it's been awhile since we last chatted, eh? I hope you've been just as great as I have been. I'm not such a fan of the winter time (my garden looks so sad and lonely) but there's been plenty of work to do on the show! The Captain himself is doing some design work...here's a peek at one of my favorites!

What do you want 2013 to look like? What your plans? What would you like to learn this year? 

My plan is to have a larger garden, to teach Tutu how to ride a unicycle, and most importantly: for the Captain to get his show on television! We've all been working so hard on it and none more than the Captain, so it'd be nice to have you all be a part of it too. :)

Cheers,
Claraboo the Caribou   

Happy New Year from the Captain Kangaroo team!

Everyone from the Captain Kangaroo show hopes you had a safe and happy new year!

Whoa...the Captain just told me about this!

How cool is this? The Captain just posted it on his Facebook page, so you may have already seen it, but I wanted to re-post it anyway.

By the way, I hope your holiday season has been peaceful so far...thank you from the bottom of all of our hearts for your support of the Captain's upcoming show. It's been a tremendous amount of work on his behalf (and every one of us helping him has done what we can) and I think you're going to be really happy with the pilot episode.

We love Asheba!

Mem Fox Reads From 'GOOD NIGHT, SLEEP TIGHT'

Reading Makes Cats Jealous by Author/illustrator Dav Pilkey

EMERALDALICIOUS! A Pinkalicious picture book by Victoria Kann

It's Wednesday (and the Captain's feelin' wacky)

Teehee. 

He looks at Eppy, Tutu, and me like this quite a lot...

I wonder if he's trying to tell us something...?

Blog Post #298, in which I share my most favorite photo of my two most favorite people!

That was a very long title for this post, but it's very true!

As far as humans go, the award for my two most favorite people would be given to the Captain (of course) and Don Q. Berrymosh, the most polite man in the world.  The two of them did some filming over the weekend and yours truly was there to help!

These two kept me laughing all day long...

I can't wait for you to laugh with them too!

And what do you think of the Captain's new blue shirt? Eppy & Tutu found it for him and though he wasn't sure how it would look at first, we all agreed that it finished the outfit perfectly!

Have a wonderful week, everyone!!

Talespinner Tuesday: A new Skippyjon Jones book!!

And it's about the circus!!!

So I'm pretty excited about this weekend because the Captain is going to finishing up filming and I'M GOING TO BE THERE!  I usually don't hang around when he's working on his show, but this time I'm going to and I think it's going to be a lot of fun.  

I'll take some photos and if they turn out okay, we'll post them here, okay?

Enjoy the autumn weather...I love the colors and taking walks in the evening. 

So beautiful!

It's almost Halloween!!

Sneaky non-video post here...

because it's October...

and it's my favorite month of the year...

because Halloween is this month!!

And I want to decorate the tree in front of the Captain's house with this:

Thank you to my friend Sage for passing along this photo!!!

Swordfight Sunday: Jedi Cat and Dogs

I wonder if the cat can do Jedi mind tricks too...

Psst...after you watch this video, come check out the latest on the Captain's Facebook page!

What is That? Wednesday: Celebration of Flight by Ibex Puppetry

So when you think of puppets, you think of hand puppets, right?  

Wait until you see this puppet video!

They look like kites, don't they?  

I want to make a dragonfly puppet like that!

(By the way, you know Jim Henson, right?  He did The Muppets!  His daughter Heather created the IBEX Puppetry company, which you watched above.  Pretty cool, right?)

Don't forget to visit the Captain on Facebook!

New blog design! This deserves a new post...

Bonjour all!

It's late at night where I am now, but I couldn't wait another second to post because the Captain gave our blog a 

brand new look!!  I love it.  He likes steampunk design, so we're going to try it out here and see how everyone likes it.

Yaaawwwwnnnn....it's been a big, crazy day here at the Acres.  I've been bringing in most of the harvest from my garden before it gets too cold out, still working on my unicycle skills, and teaching my cat Erma how to play fetch.

Time for bed...goodnight all...see you again very soon!
