KidsBarney!

Whoa!

Oh, hello, everybody.

I'm so happy to see you today.

I have something to show you.

Whoa!

It's a hammer.

Wigreat big hammer, I can build all kinds of things.

Like a birdhouse!

Let's see here...

( Knock, Knock )

( Chuckles ) Ohthere!

It's all ready for a little bird to move into.

Oh, isn't it fun building things?

Let's see what our friends are building now.

Oh, boy!

NickBeep, beep! Big truck coming through.

Where do you want this block, ma'am?

Right here, sir.

Okay.

( Imitates Backup Beep )

There you go.

Thank you.

Our pretend zoo is looking great, Nick.

It sure is.

Just a few more blocks and we're done.

Hi, guys!

Rachel and NickHi, David.

Rachel, Nick-- what are you doing?

We're building a fence for a zoo.

Want to help?

Yeah, sure.

We need to find a couple more blocks like this one.

BoysOkay.

I'll look over here.

I can't find any more.

( Barney Chuckles )

Oh, thanks.

You're welcome.

( Chuckles )

KidsBarney!

Oh, hi, David.

Oh, hello, Rachel, hi, Nick.

What are you building?

It's a fence for zoo animals.

Oh! A fence can be a very important part of a zoo.

Oh, and you better finish it before the animals get out.

Yeah!

Grr! Roar!

BarneyOh, my!

( Roaring )

Will you please help us, Barney?

Oh, I'd be happy to!

We just need one more block that can fit right there.

Now, let's see.

What kind of shape would fit best in that space?

A square.

BarneyRight!

That's right.

Do you know the shape of a square?

Look... all four sides are all the same.

There aren't any more squares here, Barney.

Well, maybe I can do something about that.

Whoa!

KidsA square!

It fits perfectly, Barney.

It helps to know your shapes when only one shape will do.

Thanks for helping us, Barney.

You're welcome, Rachel.

Just trying to keep the animals in the zoo.

( All Laugh )

( Horn Honking )

What's making that loud sound?

Well, maybe we can see what it is if we look out the window.

NickOkay, let's go.

BarneyOkay, I wonder what it could be.

Look, dump trucks and a cement mixer!

BarneyTrucks and machines like those

are used to help build roads and buildings.

Let's go look through the telescope

and see where they are going.

Oh, great idea!

Wait for me.

( Kids Chatting Excitedly )

Here I come!

The dump truck and cement mixer

are going to a construction site.

DavidA construction site? Cool!

NickAnd there's another dump truck already working there.

It's being loaded with dirt... lots of dirt.

Dump trucks help get the construction site ready

for the builders to start their work.

May I see, Nick?

Sure, Rachel.

What do you see?

RachelI see a cement mixer.

BarneyA cement mixer pours concrete

that can be used to make buildings and parking lots.

KidsCool!

DavidMay I look, please?

Sure.

DavidThere's a machine with a scooper on one end

and a digger on the other.

What's that, Barney?

BarneyThat's called a backhoe, David.

What else do you see?

Hi, guys, whatcha doing?

KidsBJ!

BarneyHi there, BJ.

NickWe're watching a construction company put up a building.

There are so many machines over there.

Well, Rachel, it takes a lot of machines and a lot of workers

to put up a new building.

That is so cool!

When I grow up, I want to drive a crane

and build a big, tall tower.

And when I grow up, I want to drive a bulldozer

and build the biggest road in the world!

Well, why do you have to wait until you're older

to build something big?

Yeah.

Why don't we build something big right now?!

( Kids Agree )

But how, BJ?

Oh, well, all we need are lots of boxes

and we can build something totally cool.

Good idea, BJ.

Oh, sounds like a pretty good plan.

( Chuckles ) Let's go find those boxes.

Come on, guys!

Building something is so exciting.

Are you a builder?

Show me what you like to build.

(♪ Music Begins )

Barney and Kids♪ Look what we can do

♪ We've got work to do

♪ Step by step, one, two, three ♪

♪ Build it up, you and me.

BoyWho wants to come with me over here?

Barney and Kids♪ Now we're having fun

♪ There's work to be done

♪ Working up and working down, shaping, sanding all around. ♪

♪ See what we can make

Oh, building is so much fun

and everybody has their favorite way to do it.

You can build with plastic blocks...

Whoa!

( Chuckles )

And make a fancy wall.

Or you can build with wooden blocks.

Whoa!

( Chuckling )

With the right building materials

and a little imagination,

you can build just about anything.

Barney, come see what I built.

It's a robot!

A robot?

Now, this I've got to see.

How about you?

Come on!

Oh, your robot looks great, BJ!

Thanks, Barney.

I put him together all by myself,

and there were lots of pieces.

Oh, wow.

What does it do?

Well, I can't get it to do anything yet.

Well, BJ, maybe you just need to wind it up.

Oh, man! I forgot to try that.

That's okay.

Let's see here.

Just like that.

Here we go.

BarneyI wonder what it's going to do.

Oh! He works!

Look, Barney, he works!

Oh, it does!

You know, BJ, I have a couple of robot friends.

Would you like to meet them?

Oh, yeah, that'd be great!

Well, here they come now.

BJWhoa, they're so big!

What do they do?

Well, they really like

to sing and dance and play all day.

Oh, cool!

Let's all dance like robots.

Come on, you can do it!

( Chuckling )

Here we go.

Hey, guys.

Watch what they're doing.

Hello? Is anybody home?

I mean Princess Teddy.

( Giggles )

Whoa!

Look at all the boxes!


It's almost as big as a mountain!

What's that, Teddy?

Oh, we should play "Bear Went Over the Mountain"?

Hi, BJ.

Hi, everybody.

What you doing, Sissy?

Well, I was just playing with Princess Teddy.

( Kids Exclaim )

Hi, Princess Teddy.

We're going to build something, Sissy.

You want to help?

Okay, what are you building?

We don't know yet.

But it's going to be big!

Well, I see a little princess who might need a castle.

( Kids Agreeing Enthusiastically )

( Giggling ) Yay!

And after we build it, we can dress up in costumes.

And ride pretend horses around the castle.

BarneyOh, there you go.

Okay, then we all agree.

Let's build a castle for Princess Teddy!

Did you hear that, Princess Teddy?

A castle!

( All Exclaim Happily )

Okay, we have a lot to do.

Yeah, we have to build a wall.

Yeah, a big wall!

And we'll need a gate that opens and closes.

Yeah, a big gate!

And Princess Teddy needs a tower.

Oh, yeah, a big tower!

What, Princess?

Oh... two towers!

Yeah, two--

Two towers?

Oh, wait a minute.

Barney, how are we going to get all this done?

( Chuckling ) It's okay, BJ.

On a real construction site,

everybody has a different job to do,

and they all work together to get the job done.

All right!

Then let's get started!

Oh, goody!

I think Princess Teddy is ready to move in now.

( Kids Exclaim )

It's so much fun to make something special


with your friends, like this castle.

It's also fun to make something special with a grownup,

and they can help you use real tools.

(♪ Music )

AnnouncerEvery parent needs a helping hand.

Barney brings the essential development skills

your child needs for learning,

through educational activities and play.

Stacking and building with different objects

helps young children learn spatial concepts,

and learning to make something by hand

helps build self-confidence.

In this episode, Barney and his friends use blocks and boxes

to make some pretend buildings.

The children look for square blocks

to build a wall around their pretend zoo.

BJ wants to make a cardboard castle for Baby Bop,

and learns that it's easier when everyone works together.

Barney explains that on a real construction site,

each person has a different job to do,

but they all have to work together

to get the project done.

Think of some construction projects

you and your child can do together,

and have fun building up your child's self-confidence.
