Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Gina welcomes the viewer from her day care center and presents her two special guests - Tarah (her assistant for the day) and Stinky the Stinkweed. Stinky tries to underplay his specialness ("Who has time for a plant? Never mind that I'm alone. Never mind I breathe out the oxygen that you couldn't live without.") but Gina knows he'll have a good time. Their first activity is drawing, which Stinky cannot do as he lacks hands to hold the crayon with. Baby Bear doesn't want Stinky to be left out, and Tarah recalls that one of her friends can't use his hands, so he colors with his mouth. They get a marker to put in Stinky's mouth, which works just fine.
