Wibbly Pig

Music & Movement - Wibbly is painting. He has painted a lion, a clown, a kite, a house and a flower! When he accidentally splashes the paper and then paints a squiggle to cover it, the squiggle comes to life and chases all around the paper - changing the painting he has already done! Suddenly the clown has a bow tie - the kite has a tail, it’s all that cheeky squiggle!

Music & Movement - Wibbly has arranged an array of large cardboard boxes and made his very own castle. The thing is, there is a Dragon inside, hiding in its lair. We decide to go with him to find it. Along the way we meet the King and his Wizard, and both are worried about this dragon, its long claws and scales and its fiery breath.

Music & Movement - Wibbly can’t sleep. It doesn’t matter how hard he tries he can’t get comfy on this cushion. So he tries two cushions - but still he can’t get comfy. More and more cushions get added on, until he has made a cushion mountain! We try to help him sleep by singing him a lullaby - but in the end it takes some energetic bouncing to tire him out!

Music & Movement - Wibbly can’t sleep. It doesn’t matter if he turns this way or that way, or if he turns the light off or keeps the light on - he just can’t sleep! We try singing him a lullaby - but he gets distracted by the idea that there might be bed bugs biting him! And if only he could find Pigley... we look all around with no luck and then get back into the lumpy bed.

Music & Movement - Wibbly is planting a seed - at least he’s trying to. He has no idea what it might grow in to. A daisy, or a tree, or a Pigley tree! Once it is settled deep in the soil we watch it to see what happens - but it takes ages! In the end the seed pokes out the smallest of shoots - and we learn from the packet that it will grow up to be a sunflower.

Music & Movement - Wibbly is making shadows on the wall in the moonlight. He shows us how his own shadow copies everything he does - but then his shadow seems to get ideas of its own! It runs all around the room, up and down and all around! Then it changes into a spotty shadow, a stripy shadow - even a zig zaggy shadow!

Music & Movement - Wibbly is having a party and blowing up a lot of balloons - the problem is they won’t stay up in the air. He tries blowing them, throwing them and holding them but it is no good. Then we imagine what journey you might go on if the balloons were to float up high and take us into the sky.

Music & Movement - Wibbly is standing very very still. He has heard a strange noise and doesn’t know what it is. Together we decide to go and find it. Is it coming from the bedroom? It sounds like a spaceship? No! That strange noise is a little clockwork frog! Is it coming from the bathroom? It sounds like an octopus taking a shower! No! That strange noise is a drippy tap!

Music & Movement - Wibbly is feeling very nervous about the play he is doing later. He needs some luck to make sure it goes well! Then he finds a small silver star in the garden - his lucky star! He asks the star to give him luck - he just needs to do his best! Wibbly isn’t convinced, so the star says if Wibbly helps her get back into the sky then he shall learn about luck.

Music & Movement - Aunt Larlie has sent Wibbly a present - a long telescope! Wibbly loves the way it can make things look so much closer than they are! First we try looking at Pigley, then we try looking at the trees in the garden and then, that night, we start looking at space!

Music & Movement - What sort of music makes you want to wiggle and dance? We all like different things! Wibbly can’t seem to find the right music, and no matter how many CD’s he puts into his bright yellow CD player nothing seems right. Big Pig loves marching, and we all march with him.

Music & Movement - Wibbly is using a box to make a boat to go on an adventure! We need a mast and a sail. Tiny Pig comes too, but he’s not sure how the sail works. First there is a gentle breeze which helps the boat move slowly and gently. Wibbly draws a map as we go. Along the way we meet a crab and a whale! The wind picks up and blows us to a desert island where we meet Scruffy Pig.

Music & Movement - Everyone is hiding from Wibbly Pig - and Wibbly wants to find them all so he doesn’t have to be ‘it’ and he can hide too. But everyone keeps hiding in the same place! This means that whenever Wibbly finds them there isn’t a ‘last’ person who has to be ‘it’! They all hide under the stairs, behind the sofa - they even dress up as toys.

Music & Movement - Wibbly likes driving in his car... he doesn’t know where he is going, just that the trip is worth the time. The Pig Twins seems to love speed and whizz around, Scruffy Pig kicks up a cloud of dust with his big scruffy tractor and Tiny Pig causes a traffic jam as he is too polite to overtake a snail!

Music & Movement - It doesn’t seem to matter how messy Wibbly’s room is, no-one wants to help tidy up! They would much rather play spaceships! Poor Scruffy wants to be the driver and the navigator and the co-pilot, but he has to make do with sitting at the back whilst Wibbly takes the helm.

Music & Movement - Poor Wibbly - he is the proud owner of a new bubble set, everyone else can blow perfect bubbles except him! He either blows too hard or blows too softly. Even Pigley and the breeze itself can blow perfect bubbles. When he finally manages to blow a few bubbles they form together into a bubble Wibbly and lead him on a lovely adventure! What other types of bubble can they blow?

Music & Movement - Wibbly is playing under a blanket and turning it into a tent - the best form of portable home. You never know what’s going to be outside the tent flap. But before the journey can begin Pigley goes missing..

Music & Movement - Over the years Big Aunt Larlie has been very kind to Music & Movement - Ever since he was a piglet she has knitted him a whole array of fluffy baby suits, itchy jumpers, heavy sweaters and droopy cardigans. So now that Aunt Larlie is due to visit again Wibbly is dreading her gift - it is bound to be something woolly and unwearable!

Music & Movement - Wibbly is proudly showing off his new rocking horse, Rocket, to Tiny Pig. Wibbly can’t wait to ride him and dreams of being a cowboy - but he isn’t the only one with dreams of the wild west - Rocket dreams of being a horse out on the plains, being able to gallop along as fast as the wind! That makes them real cowboys!

Music & Movement - Wibbly is waiting for Grandpa Pig to arrive - but he’s late. While we wait Wibbly remembers some of the fun things they’ve done together - like the time they played football, only to kick the ball into the pond... and the time Grandpa Pig helped him to fly his new model plane... only to crash it!

Music & Movement - Wibbly introduces us to his new orchestra... a chicken. It seems a bit small for an orchestra, and the chicken won’t sing! Suddenly we meet a bear making ‘boom boom’ sounds on his belly and some birds singing sweetly like clarinets. There’s even two elephants trumpeting away, as well as a honking goose - but still the chicken won’t sing... Wibbly’s orchestra is complete!

Music & Movement - We can’t find Wibbly, but we do find a robot who seems very good at doing a robot dance and playing games. It turns out it is Wibbly - in a robot costume he has made out of a couple of cardboard boxes. When Scruffy Pig comes looking for Wibbly we decide to play a trick on him and see if he spots who the robot really is - he doesn’t and neither does Big Pig!

Music & Movement - Wibbly Pig, Big Pig and Tiny Pig are on the beach and decide they are going to make the best sandcastle ever! They plan out what shape it will be and how many towers it will have. But it isn’t as straightforward as you’d think - if the sand is too dry the castle falls down, if it is too wet the sand won’t come out of the bucket!

Music & Movement - It is very cold outside and Wibbly Pig and his friends are all making their own versions of snow balls. Scruffy has made a big messy snow pile! Together they make a snow pig! But this Snow pig runs away from them and wants to play. With all the chasing about he starts to get hot and melt.

Music & Movement - Wibbly Pig is looking for his favourite green bucket. He can’t find it anywhere - so the Pig Twins resolve to help him find it. Immediately they spot a trail of sandy footprints leading up to the water tap... and from the water tap a trail of watery footprints... leading to a mud puddle... and from the mud puddle a trail of Muddy footprints.
