- Hi, neighbor! It's me,

Daniel Tiger!
- And me, O the Owl!

Hoo-hoo!
- My dad is fixing stuff today.

And we're fixing
my playhouse.

Just for pretend.
I'm using my tools

from my tigertastic
tool belt.

- And I have lots of tools

in my nifty galifty
tool box.

See my tools inside?

- Will you help us?

- Alright, Daniel and O,
what should we fix

on your playhouse?
- We need to fix...

the doorbell!
- Hoo-hoo, yes, the doorbell!

- The doorbell won't ding-dong.

Just for pretend.
- OK,

you two fix the doorbell,
and I'll be over here

working on the house.
Roar if you need me.
- OK.

Let's fix the doorbell...
- (both): TOGETHER!

- Too loud... too loud.

- Which tool
should I use?

How about...
the hammer?

- OK, I have
my hammer too!

Hoo-hoo!
- OK, let's fix the doorbell!

You help, too.

Say... hammer,
hammer, hammer...

Hammer, hammer, hammer.

- Hammer, hammer, hammer.
- HAMMER!

HAMMER!
- Too loud, hoo-hoo.

Too loud.
- OK. All done!

- All done,
phew, oh good.

- Let's see
if we fixed the doorbell!

- (both): Ding dong, ding dong!

- We fixed it...
- (both): TOGETHER!

- Too loud,
too loud. Hoo-hoo!

- You two have really been
working hard over here.

Nice job!
High fives all around.

- Hey... wanna go inside
and fix something else?

- Yes, nifty galifty!

- Oooh, look!

Trolley needs to be fixed.

- Trolley needs to be fixed?

Just for pretend, right?

- Yes, just for pretend.

Hey... we can use our hammers

to fix Trolley too!

- Our hammers?
Ah, again?

Are you sure you don't want
to use another tool?

A screwdriver?
It's nice and quiet.

- No. I don't think so.

- Or, or... a wrench?

Wrenches are nice and quiet.

- No... I think
we need the hammer.

- Oh. OK. The hammer.

Yes. Hoo-hoo.
- Grrr-ific!

You help too.
Hammer, hammer, hammer...

- Hammer, hammer, hammer.
- HAMMER, HAMMER, HAMMER!

- Too loud, Daniel.
Too loud.

- HAMMER, HAMMER, HAMMER!

We are fixing Trolley!
HAMMER! HAMMER!

- Hoo-hoo.
- Come on, O! Let's HAMMER!

- Too loud, hoo-hoo. Too loud!

- HAMMER! HAMMER! HAMMER!
- What are we working on

in here?
- HAMMER! HAMMER! HAMMER!

- O, what's the matter?
- Daniel is hammering

too... too loud.
- HAMMER!

- Too loud, hoo-hoo!
It... it hurts my ears.

- Why aren't you hammering, O?!

Daniel, the hammering
is too loud for O.

- It's hurting my ears.

- But... it doesn't
hurt my ears...

I like hammering loud.
- I understand that you like

hammering loud,
but it's too loud for O.

Can you think about a time
when something was too LOUD

for you?
- Too loud for me?

OK.

(car horn)
I'm thinking about...

when Miss Elaina
was being too loud.

She kept saying,
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

right in my face!

It made me feel upset.

- You were upset.
So now, can you use empathy,

and think about how
O the Owl is feeling?

- Empathy?
- Empathy is when you...

♪ Think about
how someone else is feeling ♪

- ♪ Think about how someone else
is feeling ♪

- Hmmm...
- Do you feel upset, O?

- Your hammering
is too loud,

it makes me jump. Hoo!

- I'm sorry, O...
I'll hammer softer.

- Thanks Daniel,
hoo-hoo.

- Now, that is empathy,

because you're thinking
about how your friend feels.

(chuckles)

- Should we finish
fixing Trolley? Hoo-hoo?

- Yes! We can fix it...

- (both): Together!
- And quieter!

- (whispering): Quieter!
(both chuckling)

- Hammer, hammer.
Is that better, O?

- Yes, that's better,
thank hoo.

Hammer!
- Hammer!

- Hammer!
- Hammer!

- I like hammering with you.
- Me too.

Now, let's see
if we fixed Trolley.

All fixed!
- Hoo-hoo, hurray!

We fixed it...
- (both): Together!
(Daniel laughs.)

- Ding, ding!
- Hoo-hoo!

(O chuckles.)
- I liked using my hammer,

and did you know my tool belt
has even more tools?

Like my screwdriver

and my wrench...

because you need a lot of tools
to fix things.

I like fixing things.

Hey... do you want
to make believe with me?

Let's make believe that...

the tools come alive

and we fix everything!

♪♪ I'm handyman Daniel ♪

♪ And I'm here
to fix things right ♪

- ♪ I'm a screwdriver ♪

Wasn't that grrr-ific?

When we use our imagination,

it makes me feel happy.

- Ding! Ding!
Now that we fixed Trolley,

he wants to ride
somewhere! Hoo-hoo.

- Hmmm... Trolley can ride

to the kitchen...
Mom's in there.

Hey! I have an idea!

- What is it? Hoo-hoo!
- We can put something special

for my mom inside Trolley...

and surprise her with it!
- Yes, nifty galifty!

So... what should
the surprise be?

- Hmmm... I'm not sure.

- Well... what does
she like?

- Mom likes... sunflowers!

Mom really likes sunflowers.

Here, we can give her
this sunflower!

- OK! She is going
to be so surprised,

hoo-hoo!
- There you go!

Let's call mom
and roll the Trolley to her.

- Hoo-hoo!
OK, ready!

- Oh, Mo-om!
(chuckles)

Come heeere!

One, two...

- (together): Three!

(gasp)
- Oh no! My vase!

- Uh-oh!
- Oops.

- Look at it... I think
my vase might be ruined.

Remember how we talked
about empathy?

♪ Think about
how someone else is feeling ♪

- On Dress Up Day,

I fell down
and ripped my costume.

My costume was ruined,

remember?
- I remember. You felt so upset.

- Hoo-hoo.

- Are you upset, Mom?
- I am upset.

I really like this vase.
- Oh, no!

- Hoo-hoo, I'm sorry.
- Do you think we can fix it?

- Hmmm, maybe
we can fix it....

together!
- (kids): Together!

- I think some glue
might do the trick.

- Yes, great idea!
(Mom Tiger humming)

- One drop.

Now you can add
a drop of glue.

- Drop.
- Now we wait for the glue

to dry, and the vase
will be as good as new.

Now, why was Trolley right
in the middle of the floor?

- We put a surprise
inside Trolley for you!

(Mom gasps.)
The sunflower

inside Trolley is for me?

That is a nice surprise!

- You like sunflowers, right?

Hoo-hoo.
- Yes, I love sunflowers.

You were really
thinking about me

and what I would like.
Now that's empathy.

Mmmmm! Delicious!

I had fun playing
with you and O today.

You make me feel happy
when I play with you.

I hope you feel happy too.

Ugga-mugga.

Let's see what some of our
neighbors are doing today.

- (O the Owl): Hi, neighbor,

it's me, O!
Today, hoo-hoo,

we're visiting
a construction site.

♪♪♪

Wow! Look at all these machines!

Machines like this
are big tools people use

to build things.

People use an excavator
like this

to dig holes.

Wow!

This one is kind of loud!

Now, it's time to put up
the walls of the building.

The construction workers use
this crane to put the walls
in the right place.

And then, they use smaller tools

to put the walls together.

There's a lot happening
at the construction site.

Hoo-hoo!

That was nifty galifty!
Bye, neighbor!

- That looked like fun!
Thanks, neighbor!

Hi, neighbor!
It's me, Doctor Daniel.

Open wide and say... Aaah!

(chuckles)

- Howdy! Hiya, neighbor!

- Prince Wednesday's cousin
Chrissie is a 'big kid helper'

at school today.
And she's playing doctor too.

- You can call me
Doctor Chrissie!

Doctor Daniel, you're needed
in the play corner...

Stat!
- Stat?

- Oh, that's what doctors say

when they mean, NOW!
- Oh...

Come on, Doctor neighbor,
let's go to the play corner...

STAT! That means, now!

(O the Owl humming)

(Katerina meowing)

Chrissie's crutches
help her walk.

- Yup. And my braces do too.

Waah! Waah!

I think this baby
is sick, see?

- Let's listen to her heartbeat
with my stethoscope.

Hmmm...
- What do you hear?

- I hear...
thump-thump, thump-thump.

(Chrissie chuckles.)
Oooh... I like your bracelet.

- Thanks, it's called
a charm bracelet.

Each one of these charms
means something.

This one is a heart
that my Nana gave me to say,

"I love you."
- Pretty!

- This one is a horse
that I got to remind me

of my horse Peaches.
- Wow!

- And this one
is a pickle.

- A pickle?
- I like pickles.

This bracelet is my
favorite favorite.
(Chrissie laughs.)

- I like how the charms
mean something.

- Me too.
Waah! Waah!

Uh-oh... the baby
is crying more,

she's getting worse!
- What should we do?

- We should take
her temperature,

and see if she's too hot...
Now! I mean... STAT!

- STAT!
Here you go, Doctor.

- Thanks, Doctor!
Open wide.

(gasp)
She is too hot!

She needs to drink
something cool.

I'll get her a bottle.

Waah! Waah!

- She's still crying!
Oh, I feel sad

when the baby cries.
- Doctor Chrissie will help.

You rock the baby,
and I will look for something

to check her throat with.
Hmmm...

(gasp)
My bracelet! It's gone!

- Doctor Chrissie,
the baby needs help...

STAT!
- Where is my bracelet?

Where is it?
- Come on, Doctor Chrissie.

You're supposed to check
the baby's throat.

- I don't want to play
anymore. Ummm...

- But...
I do want to play.

- Hello, doctors!
Is it time for my checkup?

- Teacher Harriet,
I lost my bracelet!

I can't find it
anywhere!

- Oh, dear me. Daniel and I
will help you look for it.

- But... I want to keep
playing doctor.

The baby needs help,
Doctor Chrissie!

Waah! Waah!

- Daniel, I don't want
to play anymore.

- But I do!
- Daniel, I know you want

to play with Chrissie.
But, Chrissie lost her bracelet

so let's think about
how she feels.

Can you think of a time
when you lost something special?

- Ummm...

Hmmm, one time,
when Prince Tuesday

was babysitting, I lost Tigey!

- And how did you feel
when you lost Tigey?

- Ummm... I was feeling...

upset.
- So...

now use empathy...

and think about
how Chrissie is feeling.

- Empathy?
- Mm-hmm. Empathy is when you...

♪ Think about how someone else
is feeling ♪

- Hmmm!

- ♪ Think about

Chrissie,
are you feeling upset

like I did
when I lost Tigey?

- I am feeling upset.

I lost my bracelet.
- I don't want you

to feel upset, Chrissie.
I'll help you look

for your bracelet.
- Really?

- Mm-hmm!
- Thanks.

- Here, you take the baby.
We need to look.

- OK...

- Maybe under here?
- Do you remember

what Chrissie's bracelet
looked like?

- Where is it?

- It had a horse on it...
and a pickle.

Help us find it.

- (Chrissie): Do you see it?
- No.

Uh, maybe it's with
the other babies?

Maybe it's in
the baby's bed!

Let's look. No...

Ah! Chrissie's bracelet!
There it is!

Chrissie, we found
your bracelet!

- Yes! Thank you!

- You're welcome.
You found your bracelet,

are you still upset?

- I'm not upset anymore!
Guess what I'm feeling now!

- How is Chrissie feeling?

Happy!
(Chrissie laughing)

- Happy, happy, happy!
That was fun!

Let's make it a game.

It's your turn
to show a feeling!

- OK, guess how I'm feeling!

Grrrr!

- Mad!

- Yup! Mad, mad, mad!
- OK, OK!

(Chrissie chuckles.)
I have a good one.

Guess how I'm feeling!

- What do you think
Chrissie's feeling now?

Surprised!

- Yes! Surprised,
surprised, surprised!

- Surprise! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Is this a surprise party?
Meow-meow, I LOVE surprises!

- Katerina, we were
just playing a game.

- Oh!
- Ha! Ha! Ha!

- Are you feeling... happy?

Or maybe... sleepy?

There are lots of feelings,

like... excited! And scared...

and shy, and calm and...

silly!
(chuckle)

Sillyyy! I know,

let's make believe that we sing

all about our feelings!

I'll be mommy.
- OK.

I'll be the...

Grand-père!

And this is
my little grandbaby.

Waah! My grandbaby is hungry.

Here's your bottle, baby.
- Waah! Waah!

My baby is hungry too,
meow-meow.

I need a bottle, meow-meow.

Oh, Daniel, can I have
that bottle, meow-meow?

- No, I'm using it.

- But I want to feed
my baby, meow-meow.

- No... you can't have it.

- But... but... but...

My baby is so hungry.

Waah, waah!

- Hey, what's going on?

- Daniel won't give me
the baby bottle!

And my baby is hungry!

Waah, waah!

- But... I'm playing
with the bottle.

- Hmmm, could you try taking
turns with the bottle?

- I don't want to.
Why do I have to take turns?

- Well, think of Katerina.
She wants to play

with the bottle,
but you're using it.

Can you think of a time

when something like that
happened to you?

- I remember
when I wanted

to play with
Katerina's tutu.

But you were using it.

That made me so mad.

♪ Think about

Are you mad now, Katerina?

- Yes, because you are playing
with the bottle

and I want it, meow-meow.

- I don't want you
to feel mad, Katerina...

you're my friend.
We can take turns

with the bottle.
My turn first.

Gulp, gulp. OK...

your turn.
- Thank you Daniel, meow-meow.

- Gulp, gulp, gulp.

Now my baby
isn't hungry anymore...

she feels happy,
happy, happy!

- Oh, good!
My baby is happy too.

- Hiya, neighbor! Chrissie here.

Look at all those beads!

I wonder what they're for.

Ooh!

That's a charm bracelet!

Just like mine!

- So we are gonna
make our own...

charm bracelets, right?
And we're gonna take

our elastic. We're gonna
pick some charms

that we like or that have things

that are special to us
and we're gonna put 'em on...

our little elastic and make
a necklace or a bracelet.

What do you think
you wanna make, Phineas?

A necklace or
a bracelet, you think?

- Hmmm... bracelet.
- A bracelet? OK.

- (Chrissie): I wonder
what things are special

to Phineas and Laurelle.

- So Phineas, can you tell me

what charms you have
on your bracelet and maybe why

you picked those charms?
- I have a key.

- Yeah?
- Yeah, 'cause I have

lots of keys at my house.
- Yeah?

- And a button,
'cause I like buttons.

- I picked these,
because they remind me

when I go to... with my dad

to the donut shop.
- Oh, 'cause they're shaped

like... little donuts,
aren't they?

- (Chrissie): Almost finished!

What a great way to show people

who you are and what you like!

Bye, neighbors!

- I like spending time
with you!
