Volume 1: "Wee Sing Together" (1985). Sally gets a surprise when her two favorite stuffed animals, Melody Mouse with lavender pink-colored body (dressed up as a purple and white ballerina) and Hum Bear with tan-colored body magically come to life and take her, along her brother, Jonathan and their dog, Bingo to the magical Wee Sing Park for Sally's birthday party, where they  meet a marching band. They sing and dance and learn how to conquer their fears when a storm hits. Volume 2: "King Cole's Party" (1987). Jack, Jill, Mary, and Little Boy Blue journey toward King Cole's palace to join him and his other subjects in celebrating 100 years of peace in the kingdom, bringing various gifts: a kitten, a pair of mittens, and a fuzzy blanket, among other things. The main message is that the best gifts come from the heart, but it also teaches the importance of helping others and using good manners. Volume 3: "Grandpa's  Magical Toys" (1988). A boy named Peter and his friends, David and Sara, visit his grandfather and discover his many toys (including Punchinello the Clown) and their secrets, all in the search of a missing music box key that he misplaced. When his grandfather leaves the room, David bumps into a music box which shrinks them, and the toys come to life. This story encourages children and adults alike that no matter how old you are on the outside or what body type you have, you can always stay young at heart. Volume 4: "Wee Sing in Sillyville" (1989). Two  children named Laurie and Scott, along with their dog, Barney, magically enter their coloring book to help a woman named Sillywhim resolve the townspeople's differences. They encounter the four yellow Spurtlegurgles, the three blue Twirlypops, the two green Jingleheimers and three Fruggy Frogs, the family of red Bitty Booties and Purple Pasha and her menagerie. The primary message is that being different should never be a barrier to being friends. Volume 5: "The Best Christmas Ever!" (1990). Just five days before Christmas, when Poofer the Elf tries to help his best friend Gusty the Elf, he gets lost and  winds up in the home of the Smiths, a loving family, and meets their caroling neighbors as well. He and the Smiths journey to the North Pole in an effort to aid Gusty, who has grown unexceptionably clumsy. After the elves, and even Santa Claus himself wrestle with the issue, Susie realizes what's wrong - Gusty needs a new pair of glasses. This story encourages children to wear glasses (if they need them), but also has subtle messages about cultural diversity, helping others, the importance of working together, the importance of wearing a seat belt and helmet while traveling, and  that an adoptive family can be as close and loving as any other. Volume 6: "Wee Sing in the Big Rock Candy Mountains" (1991). An imaginative young girl named Lisa waits until her two stuffed animals, the Snoodle Doodles with red-orange-colored bodies, come to life, and they take her to a magical secret place called the Big Rock Candy Mountains with much food and fun, helping when her friends Debbie and Eric don't want to do what she wants to do. When they arrive there, Felicity Horse with light blue-colored body, Kaiso Cat with brown, dark  red, and dark blue-colored body, Profster Owl with blue, purple, and pink-colored body, and the Meecy Mice with light green, peach and light yellow-colored bodies arrive late because of their issues with Little Bunny Foo Foo with mauve-colored body who keeps bopping them on the head and making the Good Fairy so angry at him. How will they ever find out? Volume 7: "Wee Sing in the Marvelous Musical Mansion" (1992). Three children named Alex, Kelly, and Benji and their Auntie Annabella go to visit their Great Uncle Rubato in his Marvelous Musical Mansion where the  music boxes come to life, the hat rack sings and dances, and the door knocker requires you to solve a riddle before you enter. However, in the darkness of the night, several small but important items vanish, requiring the children to locate the thief. Each segment teaches the viewer about musical theory or terminology. Volume 8: "The Wee Sing Train" (1993). Two children named Casey and Carter are magically transported into the world of their red, orange, yellow, and green toy train set, and begin a journey through helping several very different locations. Along the route their brown elephant friend , Tusky the Train Engineer (voiced by Adair Chappell), learns how to be careful and think things through. Volume 9: "Wee Sing Under the Sea" (1994). An ambitious young boy named Devin (played by Garrett Courtney) and his granny find an enchanted conch shell that takes them to the ocean floor where they encounter many undersea creatures, including an underwater jazz band and even Ottie (voiced by Patti Voglino), a fuzzy baby sea otter with brown and tan-colored body. Along the way they encounter Weeber (also voiced by Patti Voglino), a lost penguin with black and light blue-colored body  who misses his way back to the South Pole, take him back home, and help him be comfortable with his odd light blue color, which makes him different. This story also touches on the destructive effects of pollution. Volume 10: "Wee Singdom: The Land of Music and Fun" (1996). Wee Sing characters Punchinello, Sillywhim, Little Bunny Foo Foo, Weeber, the Snoodle Doodles (counting as one as mentioned by Annie), and Trunky (originally Tusky) who are all six from the earlier Wee Sing Videos, ride the Wee Sing Train to Sing-a-Ling-a-Land where Singaling the humanoid monster-like  mascot with yellow-colored body (voiced by Mikey Moran) and Warbly the bird-like mascot with green-colored body (voiced by Maureen Robinson) are hosting a big musical party called "The Wee Sing Festival". Sing-a-Ling-a-Land also happens to be an extension of Tim and Annie's game board. However, the main guest of honor (a singing rainbow, voiced by Diane Reynolds) is missing, so as each character performs his or her respective performance, Chugalong the Engine and Cubby the Caboose are sent to go look for her by asking a cirrus, stratus, cumulus cloud where she  disappeared too. Eventually, she is found after Tim and Annie find her on their gameboard playing with their cat, Staccato, and as a reward, they are invited to attend the Wee Sing Festival, and the singing rainbow is able to perform her special color song.
