Ep 8. Quest for The Chest/Get A Grip

QUEST FOR THE CHEST Fig is dismayed when the Finding Place chest won't open! As he tries to pry it open, the chest becomes unmoored and bounces away. Fig finds it on the beach, wedged in tight between rocks. He can't pull it free but Maple and Stick discover through musical play that they can push the chest loose. It bounces away again, landing in a "sea" of blue flowers. Fig can't find it until Hedge and Pine join him for a "swim" and discover that making a big wave can create clearings in the flowers. They find the chest, but it bounces off once more, heading back to the Finding Place. Determined to get it open, but this time remembering to play, he hops on the chest like he's at a rodeo. As it spins around, he finally figures it out: the chest was backwards and he had been trying to open in the wrong way! GET A GRIP It's time for Hedge to get a bigger bed and Pine takes him to the shed where the perfect Rocket Bed is at the tippy top of a huge pile of stuff. Fig, Maple and Stick use the suctiony bath toy to pull items out. By playing with a big knitted elephant dress form, they learn that suction cups only stick to slick, solid things. So, they cover the ele-form with a raincoat, stick the suction cups to the raincoat and pull it out. By playing again, they learn that the suction grip is stronger when wet and are able to pull out a big bathtub. Finally, reaching Hedge's Rocket Bed, they move it to his room and bring in the other treasures they found, too!
