Silly Billy is here, exploring the playground, smelling the flowers, and meeting his fans--and an energetic bumblebee! Kingsley and Pixie Bell work to build a genuine friendship with the sweet and silly clown. Through a conversation about colors and feelings, Danny Joe shares some deeper ideas about being “liked” online and in real life, and how you don’t have to pretend to be (or feel) something you’re not in order to gain acceptance.
Danny Joe's Tree House keeps getting interrupted by Kingsley's new sponsor, Sack O’ Sugar! Danny Joe is getting frustrated, but he uses the interruptions as an opportunity to show us examples of ads from both the past and present, featuring sports and entertainment personalities, and even toys. Along the way, we learn how to spot different types of commercials and the advertising tricks used to sell us stuff. Learning how to spot these techniques helps kids to make their own thoughtful choices and understand the influence of media.
After two seasons, Olive Olive Oxenfree, formerly known as Ollie Ollie Oxenfree, has fully transitioned and truly loves herself. But she is nervous about seeing her cousins at the Oxenfree Family Reunion after a year apart. Together, we all get to practice unconditional acceptance, and the Oxenfree Family shows us how we can share our love and support with one another. We also meet Buck A. Roo, a marionette cowboy and the quickest draw-er in the West. And don't miss our musical guests, the Oxenfree cousins, played by "Good Time Old Time" band, Geraldine! This episode features a singing cowboy, puppets, drawing, and an old time folk music string band. The message focuses on mental health, friendship, self-regulation, allyship, love, and acceptance. We look closely at the way we treat others, especially those in the LGBTQIA+ community, and how adults and family can help support and protect trans kids. This is an important component of promoting wellness and mental health awareness in the Tree House community.
Kingsley is making a very big mess as he tries to solve a problem. Danny Joe shares a new picture book with a story that he has written. It's called "I Like You More Than My Phone." Read along with us! Kingsley feels upset when he sees pictures in the book showing times when he made bad choices. He wants to hide the book away from others, but Danny Joe helps him learn an important lesson about taking responsibility for his actions. Books are for sharing, not hiding! This episode is dedicated to librarians everywhere.
Captain Lunar Landis of the Intergalactic Time Space Alliance needs our help to get back to the future. His spaceship runs on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math), and he is almost out of fuel! The puppets work together to build rocket boosters out of toilet paper tubes, string and balloons. You can join them and make your own rocket ship craft at home. Pixie Bell and Kingsley are feeling a little nervous about the future. Captain Lunar Landis helps them understand what comes next and provides the reassurance they need.
