recommended age Unlock co-watching from 4

Kermit the Frog cannot decide what to bring to show and tell, so he wanders through the nursery playroom and the backyard playground weighing one idea after another. He considers his banjo, building blocks, a foam sword, art projects, the tire swing and his favourite spot, the pond, where he hops across the lily pads. In the end he realises he does not have to choose one thing, he can choose someone, like all of his friends. The short closes on his cheerful decision and a 'Yay!' from the group.

Her friends Gonzo and Kermit watch and gently question each new look. When Piggy makes a dramatic 'super shot', she is cast as the hero who saves Summer. She proudly signs off as Super Piggy, then realizes she forgot about the show and tell, leaving Summer feeling overlooked.

In a sunny backyard, Gonzo announces his show-and-tell: a stunt where his chicks Camilla, Priscilla and Pete will launch him from a cannon into a bathtub full of peaches. He introduces his chickens and their coop, then sets up the equipment and imagines the spectacular flight. The launch does not go to plan and Gonzo ends up tripping over his own feet. He laughs it off, names the flub 'Trip Over My Own Two Feet' and decides to try an even bigger stunt.

Summer Penguin hosts a show-and-tell of her art projects in a bright backyard museum, wearing a beret and introducing drawings like Princess Piggy and Kermit the Frog. Her friend Fozzie Bear keeps asking her to draw sillier things, from himself as an airplane to chicks on the moon made with macaroni. Summer cheerfully makes each one, insisting she can draw anything. The segment ends on a joke as Fozzie piles on one last outlandish idea and Summer says she will need more macaroni.

Kermit finally offers to be his audience, and although Fozzie forgets the joke, he accidentally makes everyone laugh by calling himself 'berry forgetful.' The segment ends back on the show-and-tell stage with a cheerful 'waka waka.'

In a backyard treehouse, Kermit wants to show off the structure for Show and Tell, but Piggy declares it her 'tree palace' and will only let him up if he follows her rules.

The episode ends on that pile of silly demands, with Kermit still waiting to climb up.
