CH 01 · LEARNING LAND · EPISODE L08
It's a windy day at the county fair, and Murphy is wearing his brand-new hat, until whoosh! The wind blows it away. It lands right on a horse's head, and the horse trots around the ring wearing it. Then it tumbles into the hen coop, where a hen sits in it like a cozy nest, and the wind carries it up to the top of a tall stack of hay. Up in the sky, a hot air balloon floats by, scoops up the hat and brings it back to Murphy.
Every one of them starts with the letter H. Can your Couch Buddy name them all?
H! H! H is happy! H! H! Here we go! Murphy had a hat, it was brand-new and bright He wore it to the fair, but the wind was blowing right! Whoosh went the wind and it lifted way up high So hop up on the couch and wave the hat goodbye! H, H, hat! (Hat!) H, H, horse! (Horse!) H, H, hen, a helpful little hen! H, H, hay, stacked up again and again! H, H, hot air balloon, floating in the sky! H is happy, way up high! It landed on a horse who trotted round the ring Then into the hen coop, what a cozy thing! The hen made a nest, then flap, flap, flap! Up on the hay went Murphy's hat! H, H, hat! (Hat!) H, H, horse! (Horse!) H, H, hen, a helpful little hen! H, H, hay, stacked up again and again! H, H, hot air balloon, floating in the sky! H is happy, way up high! Here comes a balloon, floating over the fair It scooped up the hat and brought it back with care! Back on Murphy's head, right where it should be Happy, happy, happy, happy as can be! What starts with H? (Hat!) What starts with H? (Horse!) What starts with H? (Hen!) What starts with H? (Hay!) What starts with H? (Hot air balloon!) Five happy things that start with H!

Each word pops up next to a big letter H, and Murphy says “H is for…” after each one, so kids see the letter and hear its sound together.
Open your mouth and breathe out softly, like fogging up a window: “h.” It's just air with no voice. Kids can feel the warm air on their hand.
Start at the top with a tall line straight down, then go back up partway, curve over like a little hill and come back down. The Trace It game shows that order with arrows.
