Hi, campers!
Just getting ready for our big day.
A day where we take the time to recognize an often overlooked, cozy, and unsung hero.
A friend whose sole purpose is none other than to make us feel supported, protected, warm, and to soothe us.
Something to make us say, "Ahhh!"
Today we celebrate slippers!
No matter the size or kind -- fuzzy ones, slip-on ones, open-heeled or closed-, welcome to Slipper Day on "Camp TV."
Now, go forth in comfort with your head held high and I'll be here waiting for you when you get back, in rest and relaxation.
Ahhh!
Jump, dance, play.
It's time to get active.
-Hey, "Camp TV" friends!
-♪ Hey!
♪ -I'm YoYo and today I'm challenging you to some Slipper Challenges, so, go grab some slippers and let's try this together.
Come on!
-♪ Hey!
♪ -Okay, friends, for our very first challenge, we're going to take our slipper and we're going to try to throw it under one of our legs and then try to catch it.
We're going to see how many we can do in 20 seconds.
Remember, if the slipper falls on the floor, you just pick it up and try it again.
Are you ready?
Let's go.
[ Beeping ] Whoo!
Nice!
Keep track.
[ Exhales forcefully ] Yeah!
Looking good.
You guys are doing great.
Keep going.
Don't stop.
Whoo!
Yeah!
[ Beeping ] Okay, friends, now, we're going to take our slipper and we're going to put it in between our knees and we're going to jump around and see if we can keep it in between our knees without it falling to the floor.
Ready?
Let's go.
♪♪ Okay, friends, our very next challenge, we're going to put our slipper on our foot.
We're going to lift our foot up in the air and try to catch our slipper.
Come on, let's try.
Okay, try to balance it right on your foot.
Nice.
And then lift it up and try to catch it.
Try it again.
-♪ Hey!
♪ Whew!
♪♪ Okay, friends, next challenge, we're going to put our slipper on the floor and we're going to jump over it without touching it.
How many times do you think you can do it?
Ready?
Come on!
♪♪ ♪♪ Can you balance a slipper on your head?
Try it with me.
Let's walk forward and walk backwards.
Yes, you got it.
Whew!
If it falls off, just pick it up, try it again.
Nice!
I loved doing those challenges with you today.
Thanks for making your muscles and your mind super strong with me on "Camp TV."
Catch you next time.
Bye, friends!
-A little birdie told me it's time to go wild.
-Kangaroos, wallabies, tree kangaroos, and bettongs all belong to a group of marsupials known as...
The name macropod is derived from the Greek words macro, meaning large, and pod, meaning foot.
Their distinguishing features include a triangular body shape, prominent hind legs and feet, and disproportionately small front limbs and a long, strong tail for balance.
Macropods are also herbivorous, meaning they love to snack on vegetation, like leaves, grass, and vegetables.
Which brings us to today's wild wonder.
This one comes from Ethan, a patient at Queensland Children's Hospital in Brisbane, Australia.
And Ethan would like to know... An excellent question, Ethan, but, first, let's rewind for a second.
What is a quokka?
Quokkas are one of the most adorable native marsupials in Australia.
Well, in my opinion, at least.
They have the sweetest facial expressions and always seem to be wearing a cheeky little grin.
They are only small creatures, and weigh about as much as a house cat.
They have beautiful, soft brown fur, a round nose surrounded by whiskers, and short round ears perched on the top of their heads.
But let's see if we can identify any of those macropod features.
Hm, alright, so their bodies are triangular in shape, just like a kangaroo.
They have a long, strong tail to help them balance whilst they get around.
And have a look at the size of the back legs, compared to the front limbs.
They are disproportionate.
Just like the macropods we saw earlier, the back legs are much larger and the front limbs are a lot shorter.
What about their diet?
Well, by the looks of it, quokkas love to eat leaves and vegetables, just like the other macropods.
So, I think we may have gotten to the bottom of this wild wonder.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Ethan?
So, the answer to your question, Ethan, is yes, quokkas are macropods, just like kangaroos.
Thank you for your wild wonder.
I'm curious now -- how many more marsupials are macropods?
See if you can think of any other animals that might fit into the macropod family.
-Ready for some math that counts?
-We -- We get to hang out today?
How cool is that?
Okay, wait a minute.
I was told I only get a little bit of time, a little bit of time to hang out with you, so, I'm going to have to talk a little bit fa-- I won't talk that fast, but I hear we get to talk about math.
Math is one of my favorite things.
I love to count.
I love to measure.
Speaking of measure, I think we should measure today.
Mm-hmm.
I think we should find the perimeter of an object.
You ever heard of perimeter?
Really cool word, that word perimeter!
It's a math word.
It simply means measure the outside.
I measure this side, get a number.
Measure this side, get a number.
I add them together.
Measure this side, get a number.
Measure this side, get a number.
I add them together.
I add it all together!
That's all perimeter is.
Add all sides together.
By the way, I heard that today was [ Clears throat ] Slipper Day!
Let's measure in slippers.
Well, usually, in math, we don't measure in slippers.
We usually measure in inches or centimeters or... ...feet?
That's what made me think of slippers.
Okay!
Before you even ask, the answer's yes, I made it all by myself, yes.
It's a rectangle made out of -- you guessed it -- pool noodles!
Check this out.
That side right there is the exact same length as that side.
Since they are the same length, That's going to be really helpful.
Now, watch this.
Here we go!
1 slipper!
Alright, I know we can fit another one.
2 slippers!
Oh, my gosh!
I think we can keep going!
3 slippers!
Whoa!
Hm, now that I know that this side measures 3 slippers, then guess what else I know?
That this side over here also measures three slippers.
And... Whoa!
Somebody just said it.
But to find perimeter, we have to add all the sides together.
So, now, let's go measure the other two.
Okay, I can see this side is longer, but I still want to count carefully.
There's 2 slippers.
Here's 3.
4 slippers.
I can fit one more.
This side can hold 5 slippers.
Yep, you guessed it -- this side is going to help me know the other side.
If this side is 5, then that side is also 5 and, together, they make -- Somebody said it again.
All the sides are measured.
[ Singsong ] Let's put them together.
Okay, so, we had 10 slippers and we have 6 slippers because 3, 3 -- 6; 5, 5 -- 10.
I have to put them all together.
So, 10 with the 6...?
Uh-huh, somebody said it.
Somebody said it!
I heard you.
[ Clears throat ] ...slippers.
So, let's remember -- we don't normally measure in [ Whispering ] slippers, but, because today is Slipper Day!, we got to measure slippers and it was fun.
At least, for me, it was.
I hope you enjoyed it.
Anywho... Perimeter -- add all sides together.
-Arts and crafts?
Yes, please!
♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ Welcome back to Slipper Day on "Camp TV."
While you were gone, I got to thinking -- why should our feet have all the fun?
Don't our hands deserve a little love, too?
So, in honor of Slipper Day, I thought we could make our fingers a little comfy, too.
I mean, just look at them.
I certainly can't resist.
And we'll make these by using the art of paper folding known as origami.
Origami's name comes from the Japanese words...
Throughout history, traditional paper folding has been linked to countries across East Asia and Europe.
But most believe it began in China, shortly after they invented paper, almost 2,000 years ago.
Then it traveled to Japan, where it became a major cultural art form.
Traditional origami consists of folding a single sheet of square paper into a sculpture without cutting, gluing, or taping it.
It takes practice and patience, but in the end, I think you'll agree it's worth it.
There's a special type of paper -- origami paper -- that is thin and square-shaped, but you can use all sorts of different kinds of paper that you have at home.
The origami paper that I have is a little too big to make these slippers, so, I'm going to cut it down.
We need a square, so I'm going to measure out a piece that is 4 inches long... ...by 4 inches wide.
♪♪ ♪♪ And cut it out.
Next, we're going to cut our square in half to form two rectangles.
Each rectangle will be used to make a slipper.
Use one of your rectangles for your first slipper and put the other aside for later.
Now, we're ready to start folding our first slipper.
With the shorter side facing you, old your paper in half, creasing it well.
Then open it up again.
Now, fold the bottom half to the middle crease and then open it up flat again.
Next, fold the top half of the paper towards the bottom crease.
♪♪ Then fold the bottom piece over it.
♪♪ Next, fold down a little piece to form a band, like this!
Then flip the entire piece over.
Fold the sides in, one over the other... ♪♪ ...and crease it.
Flip the piece right-side-up, gently pull the corner outward, and crease.
And take the other corner, gently pulling it outward, and crease.
♪♪ Fold one corner over the other, so it stays together.
And crease again.
Now, you're going to fold it in four corners.
We're going to fold the top part of our slipper at an angle, like this.
Do that on both sides.
And we're going to do the same thing at the bottom... ...to give us that nice slipper shape.
And voilà!
A finger slipper!
You can decorate the tops or not.
Very much up to you!
Wow!
All that folding made my hands tired.
Good thing I've got some comfy slippers to help them [ Singsong ] rest!
So cool, right?
[ Laughs ] Music, dance, magic, and more.

-Welcome back to another episode of "Kids Cooking with Zoe."
Today we're going to be making my uncle Matt's famous seasoned popcorn.
[ Jaunty tune plays ] Here are the ingredients you need.
♪♪ [ Whispering ] This recipe is super top secret, so, you're very lucky I'm sharing this with you.
I love this because, every time I go to their house, he always makes this wonderful popcorn and we just sit down and watch a movie.
It's just heaven.
[ Laughs ] Today we're going to be making this popcorn old-school.
We're not using the microwave.
Nuh-uh.
And you're definitely going to need an adult in the kitchen.
First, we're going to layer the bottom of the pan with olive oil, which I've already done.
Then we're going to pour popcorn in the pan, to where you can't see the bottom.
[ Rattling ] [ Laughs ] We're going to turn the heat in between 6 and 7.
♪♪ And then we're going to cover the pan.
Now, we're going to wait for the popcorn to pop.
You'll know what it's done when all the kernels are popped.
But be careful because it might get burnt, so, make sure to watch the popcorn.
[ Ethereal tune plays ] ♪♪ While the popcorn's popping, now, I'm going to talk to you about the seasoning.
We're going to put all the seasoning ingredients in a shaker and shake it.
Shake.
[ Upbeat funk plays ] ♪♪ ♪♪ We had a bit of a popping emergency.
I think I put a little bit too much popcorn in that.
It's starting to like tower up now.
[ Chuckles ] Okay, before we put our seasoning on, we're going to test it, to see if it's just right.
Perfect.
Now, I'm about to sprinkle the seasoning on.
Don't use all of it.
♪♪ ♪♪ Now, it's time for my professional taste tester.
♪♪ Rating from 1 to 10.
-10.
♪♪ -I hope you liked this video.
Thank you for watching.
Now, go and have a family movie night and make some popcorn and have some fun.
Ah!
Wait, guys!
No, no, wait!
Let me finish the video.
-Oh.
-Bye!
-You took the words right out of my mouth.
-Today we're going to create a brand-new, never imagined... [ Shimmer! ]
Now, a lot of magical creatures that we see in myth or in fantasy were inspired by animals that we could see in the real world!
The real world?!
But magical creatures are so... -I agree, Petey!
It might seem that a normal animal couldn't become something fantastical, but they can, through something we like to call... That's right!
Where we don't add numbers together, we add creatures together.
I have a creature math example for you, Petey.
What do you get when you add a horse... -[ Neighs ] -...and a narwhal?
-[ Squeaking ] -Sherry, I can't even picture a creature like that.
-Actually, this is one of the most classic magical creatures.
All you have to do is take different parts from each animal and put them together.
Like when you take the body of a horse and add the horn of a narwhal, that equals...?
[ Shimmer! ]
-A unicorn!
Sherry, I have never thought about unicorns this way.
Amazing!
-That's...!
[ Fanfare plays ] -Okay, Sherry, I have one for you.
What if we did a goat... -[ Bleating ] plus a shark?
[ Splash! ]
-I have never heard of a creature like that.
-Of course you haven't, Sherry, because it's something I'm creating right now.
Let's say that we took the horns and the chin fur of a goat and added it to the body of a hammerhead shark.
You'd get Old Man Shark!
A new magical creature that can swim to the deepest depths of the ocean, skewer fish with his horns, and... knit you a sweater like nobody's business.
Ha ha!
[ Fanfare plays ] -So cool!
But there's one more thing that I want to add to make this creature extra special, and that's by adding something extra.
We want to make the creature look unlike anything we've seen before.
So, maybe we could give it... Or we can make it... Let's pick a detail and take it... [ Echoing ] -I know -- Old Man Shark has an extra long beard.
Where else is he going to get the materials to knit those sweaters... [ Echoing ] -Hey, you kids, keep it down, or no sweaters for you!
[ Whimsical tune plays ] -Sorry, Old Man Shark.
-I can't wait for that sweater!
Now, it's your turn.
Create your own magical fantasy creature using creature math.
Don't forget to add something extra to make it extra fantastical.
We'll see you next time.
Bye!
-Daytime or nighttime, it's always time for storytime.
