Tab Time: Sharing | Educational Videos for Kids | Teaching Preschools About Sharing |

After finding Avi Avocado sitting atop a huge pile of oranges, Ms. Tab decides to explore all the different ways we can share with others - because after all, you can’t play with all your toys at once so it’s nice to share them! First she heads to Balloon City to learn more about sharing, then plays a great game called “Better By Sharing” with Sherry Shares. Plus, Ms. Tab and DJ Khrafty help the kids make Share Sticks, and alongside Burnie and Starla in the kitchen, she makes Share Bears.

Well, hello there. I'm Ms. Tab, and welcome to my garden. You hear that sound? Yeah, it's coming from over there. Let's go check it out.
[Avi the Avocado] Oh. Oh. Oh. This is Avi the Avocado. He's one of my best friends. But it doesn't look like he's feeling too well. Avi, are you all right? Oh. Holy guacamole, Ms. Tab. What are we gonna do with all of these oranges we got from Marmalade the Orange Tree? I tried eating as many as I could, but I'm not sure if I could eat all of these. Well, Avi. Marmalade sure grew a lot of oranges this year, more than ever. But, instead of us eating them all ourselves, we could gather them up an
d then we could share them with our friends. They could maybe even make orange juice. But if we give some away, then we won't have enough for ourselves. [Ms. Tab] I think we'll have plenty, Avi. Besides, sharing can feel really great. Okay. I'll try. Okay. Whoa! Can I tell you something that's been on my mind? I can? Very good. You know, I've been thinking a lot about sharing. And I know sharing isn't always an easy thing, but sharing is important. And whether you are sharing your food like thes
e oranges or your toys or other things that you like. That makes me wonder, what are the different ways we can share with others? Oh. You hear that? That's our friend, Breezy the Wind Chime. We should go say hello. [chuckles] All right, Avi, you share these and I'm sure you'll be feeling better soon. -I'm peeling better already! -[Ms. Tab laughs] Very good. I'll see you later, Avi. Goodbye, Ms. Tab. Well, hello there, Breezy. You sure have a beautiful chime. What's that, Breezy? It's time to go
on a special adventure to find out more about sharing. We go there using our imagination. Would you like to go with me? You would? Very good. All right, Breezy. I'll see you later. Are you ready? Okay. Let's go. Woo! [laughs] -Wee! -Look, we're in our Magic Playroom.

Look at this place. So many fun colors and sounds? Wee! -Hey, Ms. Tab! -[chuckles] Well, hello there, Lenny. This is one of my good friends, Lenny the Lightning Bug. -Lenny, are you all right? -I'm great! That's the fastest I've gone since I was a larva. [chuckles] Look where we ar
e, Lenny. A skateboard factory! [Ms. Tab] It's a balloon city. [Lenny the Lightning Bug] A balloon city! Can I share a secret with you, Lenny? Yes! I'm the best secret keeper ever, except that one time, and all the other times. I love balloons. They're bright, colorful, come in all shapes and sizes and can fly in the air like a bird. Let's go explore. You ready? Ready! [engine revving] Sometimes it's hard to share the things that we love. But here, it looks like everyone loves sharing. Come on,
Oz, let's go home! It's time to watch my stories. [toy train honking] [Lenny the Lightning Bug] Ms. Tab, those kids look super happy sharing those goldfish. [chuckles] -You mean trains? -Trains! You can't play with all of your toys at once, so it's nice to let others play with the toys you're not using. Then they can let you play with theirs as well. [cries] [Ms. Tab] Look at what their mother is holding, Lenny. -A television! -[chuckles] It's a baby. A baby! [Ms. Tab] We can even share our pare
nts. Huh? How do we share our parents? Well, Lenny, sometimes we have to share the time with our parents with our brother or sister. [squeaking] Mylar, Vinyl, your grandma and grandpa have come to visit. Is it okay if they share the room with you? -Yay! -Yay! It's more than okay! It's great! Did you hear that, Lenny? They're going to share their room with their grandparents. Sharing your room is another kind of sharing. -[honks] -[Lenny the Lightning Bug] Ooh. Cheese fries. [chuckles] It's a bus
, Lenny. A bus! Okay, everyone. Let's get on the bus. It's time to go to the park for Helium's birthday party. Make sure to put on your sunscreen, dear. I don't want you to pop. [engine revving] [Balloon Person] Excuse me. Coming through. Oh, pardon me. [chuckles] No problem. May I share this seat with you? Of course. Those people are giving each other plenty of space on this crowded bus. Sharing our personal space is another type of sharing. Look, Lenny. An airport. [Ms. Tab] It's a birthday pa
rty. [Lenny the Lightning Bug] A birthday party! Celebrating special moments together is another wonderful type of sharing. -[cheers] -[honking] Come on, Lenny. It looks like there are many ways to share the things we love, like toys, our family, and special moments with the people in our lives. Now we know some different ways of sharing. But it makes me wonder. Why do we share what we have? What's that, Breezy? It's time to visit Ms. Tab's Lab? Well, that's a great place to answer our question.
Goodbye, Lenny. Goodbye, Ms. Tab! [upbeat music playing] Well, hello there. I'm Ms. Tab and welcome to my lab. Hello, Ms. Tab! I'm Sherry Shares -and I'm so excited to be here. -[chuckles] Well, nice to meet you, Sherry Shares. You know, today, we've been trying to figure out -why we share. -Mm. Do you think you could help us answer that question? Oh, absolutely. I have a great game about sharing called -Better By Sharing. -[gasps] Do you like games? Would you like to play along with us? All ri
ght. Okay. Well, how do we play? So on either side of this fence, I've got a bunch of fun stuff. We can take your things and put them together with my things, and then we can make them something better. It's better by sharing! -Okay. -Hmm. Let me see what I've got. [whistles] Ah. -I've got some bread. -Oh, okay. Do you got anything over there that can go with my bread? All right, let me see. Oh. A basketball. A basketball! [laughter] It's a basketball sandwich! Ooh! Huh. You know, Ms. Tab, now t
hat it bounces around in my head a little bit... -Uh-hmm. -...bonk, bonk, bonk. It just doesn't sound as delicious. Maybe we can try to share something else? -Okay. -Okay. Let me see what else I have. Uh, oh. A bucket of soapy water. That's it! I love soapy water! [gasps] Okay. I got it! I can get my umbrella and you can pour the soapy water over my head. Or we could use that magic wand right there. Huh. -I guess that could work, too. -[laughs] Well... what do we do with this? Well, if you share
your magic wand with me and I share my bucket of soapy water with you and we put it together. Put it in there. -Okay. -Yes. We could create something that's better. Wow! Good golly! Right now there's bubbles! [laughs] This is amazing! [laughs] Okay. So what's next? Hmm. [gasps] Well, I have these party hats. I think that those birthday party hats kind of look like safety cones. And I have this scooter. -I've got a humdinger of an idea. -Uh-huh. What if we put the hats down like cones... Uh-hmm.
And we'd use my scooter to create an obstacle course! -Yeah! -[laughs] Okay. Let's see. Where is this? Let's see how this goes. -Ready? -I'm ready. Okay. Go, Ms. Tab! It's a little wobbly... -[Sherry Shares] Wobbly, wobbly! -but it's a lot of fun. -Yay! -[laughs] You wanna give it a turn? Would I? [laughs] -I would love to. -[Ms. Tab] Okay. Here you go. Ooh. Go, Sherry, go! -Aah. -[laughs] Woo! This is the greatest day of my life. Did you see how sharing made my hats and your scooter better onc
e we put them together? I did see that. Should we try something else? -Yeah! -Okay. Let's do it. Okay. Um, okay. This basketball. The first idea was a little chewy. Well, I have these hoops. Your basketball is a lot of fun and these hoops can be a lot of fun. But if we share them together, we could create... -Hoop ball! -[laughs] Oh, great shot, Sherry! Your turn, your turn, your turn. -Yes! -[laughs] -Nothing but hoop, Ms. Tab. -Oh, Sherry Shares, thank you so much for coming today and for teac
hing us a game that shows us why we share. You're very welcome, Ms. Tab. Oh. That's Breezy. I'm gonna help Sherry Shares clean up and after, I'll see you at Craft Time. [upbeat music playing] Hi, Ms. Tab. -Hello there. -Hi. How are we doing? -[both] Good. -Good. Can you tell me your names and how old you are? I'm six and my name is Riley. -Riley, really nice to meet you. -I'm-- I'm, I'm six years old and I'm Kai. Kai. Very nice to meet you. Today, we've been talking a lot about sharing. Do you l
ike to share? -Yes. -Yes? I like to share all the time. You like to share all the time? Well, very good. Do we love crafts? -[both] Yes. -Yes. Well, I have someone who can help us. Shall we meet him? -Yes. -[Ms. Tab] Yes? Okay. DJ Khrafty! -Hi, DJ Khrafty. -Hi, DJ Khrafty. Hi, Ms. Tab. Hi, Riley and Kai. Nice to meet you. Yeah! Uh, DJ Khrafty, why are you making that noise? Well, Ms. Tab, I don't have as many supplies today, so my supplies are moving around and making a different sound. Oh. Well
, where did your supplies go? I shared some with my cousin, MC Boogie. He's a tissue box. I hope I don't ruin Craft Time. Well, don't worry, DJ Khrafty. We have enough supplies here that we can share and take turns. Oh, that's a great idea! And you know what, MC Boogie also shared some things with me. He gave me all these colored tissue paper. Don't worry, Kai. It hasn't been used. [Ms. Tab laughs] Today, we are making, drum roll, please. [drum rolls] -Share sticks! -All right. When you're holdi
ng the share stick, that means it's your turn to talk. Like this. ♪ I can talk and sing As much as I want ♪ ♪ But when I pass it To the next person... ♪ I can't talk even though I really want to. Oh, I see, because I'm holding the share stick. So whoever is holding the share stick, they get to share how they're feeling, while others can listen closely. I feel super excited that you're here with me at Craft Time. Okay. I--I'm feeling happy because it's my first time seeing Ms. Tab. -Aww. -And
she's very sweet. Thank you. I'm very happy because it's my first time here. Very good. I need the share stick back. I'm back, and here are the supplies we will need. Paper towel rolls, tissue paper, ribbons, rhinestones, glue, water, and paint brushes! Now we have some glue sticks here, so we can use our colors that we've chosen. We can wrap it on our stick however we do it. It's the right way to do it. [Ms. Tab] That is exactly right. -Well, I'm just putting... -[Ms. Tab] Check out Ms. Tab
. ...my favorite color. It almost looks like a superhero share stick. Can I paint on here? [Ms. Tab] You absolutely can. Can I share with you all with the paint? -Sure. -Of course. [Ms. Tab] Okay. Very good. I'll put it in the middle so we can all reach it. [Ms. Tab] Thank you. We are sharing paint because sharing is our business. Sharing is our business. [Ms. Tab] That's right! Love that. Is this cool? Yes, that's very pretty. I had to put hearts on there. Well, I am stuck on the share sticks!
-[laughs] -Wow. So now that we're all done with our share sticks, can we practice using them? -Yes. -Yeah. Well, I'm very happy to be here. Me, too. Me, three. Me, four! Very good, DJ Khrafty. Thank you so much for sharing your craft with us today. Bye, Kai. Bye, Riley. Bye, Ms. Tab! Oh. That's Breezy. After I clean up, I'll see you at Snack Time. It's Snack Time. Don't forget to wash your hands. ♪ It's snack time It's snack time ♪ ♪ Let's make something tasty For snack time ♪ ♪ It's snack
time ♪ ♪ Everybody, it's snack time ♪ ♪ Come on! ♪ [groans] Well, hello there, Burnie and Starla. Oh. Hi, Ms. Tab. Are we having trouble sharing today? I don't wanna share. It's my favorite towel in the whole kitchen. But it's so cozy to snuggle up with. You can't keep it all to yourself, Burnie. The kitchen is a space that we all use, so we have to share all the things inside of it, too. Maybe another way to share is by taking turns with the dish towel. I have an idea. All right. I will set t
his time, and then each of you could have the dish towel for half Snack Time. Okay. Here you go, Starla. Yay! Gimme, gimme, gimme! All right. So today, we're gonna make Share Bears to share with each of our friends using foods that each of us like. -Yay! -Wow! Now, you can use different ingredients for these. But Burnie, I know that you like carrots. That's right. I do. Would you like to share with us what you like about them? Carrots make me think of bunny rabbits, which are very soft. Not unli
ke my favorite towel, hint, hint. Burnie, you'll get the towel back when the timer goes off. All right, Starla. You like cucumbers, yes? Yes! I do! They're big and green and fresh and juicy, and they're super yummy! Also, they're almost exactly as tall as me, so I can use them to practice karate. -Hiyah! -Oh! That was very good and all of those sound very delicious. Can I tell you what my favorite ingredients are? -Yes! -I really like them all. I love cashew cream cheese, tomatoes, pretzels, rai
sins, the carrots, and cucumbers. All right. First, we'll take some cashew cream cheese and we're gonna put it on our tortilla. And then we'll take our carrots, we're going to spread them on, and then cucumbers. All the things that my friends like. [Starla the Spatula] Ooh. -[chuckles] All right. And then we're gonna have some tomatoes. [Burnie the Oven Mitt] Mmm. And now, we're ready to roll. -So take it... -[Burnie the Oven Mitt] Oh. [Ms. Tab] ...and roll it up. That looks like the share stick
from Craft Time. -[timer rings] -Oh. Towel time! Fork it over, Starla. Here you go, Burnie. Oh, together again at last. -Thank you, Starla. -You're welcome, Burnie. Well, if that wasn't one of the best examples of sharing, honey, I don't know what is. All right. Let's make these bears. And we're gonna take some more cream cheese and we're gonna put it on top and smear it down just a little bit. Gonna put some ears on the bears, so like that. -Ooh. -Mm. Now, use the raisins to make the eyes, and
then the nose. -[Burnie the Oven Mitt] Mm. -And then a mouth... -[Starla the Spatula] Ooh. -[Ms. Tab] ...with the carrot. Well, look there. Those are our Share Bears. Ms. Tab, I thought you were making something for us to share. You're right, Starla. I only see one snack. [Ms. Tab] Just wait one second and you'll see. Okay. Are we ready? Yes? Okay. Make sure that you have your grownup cut it for you, okay? Oh! Oh, magic! Wow! So many pieces! [Ms. Tab] So every piece that we cut is a piece we ca
n share and a chance to make a new friend. -Oh! -Oh! Yeah. All right. Go ahead and dig in. -[Burnie the Oven Mitt] Mmm. -[chuckles] [Burnie the Oven Mitt] Very tasty, Ms. Tab. There's a party in my mouth and everyone's invited. But it's potluck, so bring a dish. You know what, I have a feeling that you two are gonna want seconds, so I'll go ahead and make another. How's that sound? Burnie? Starla? Shh. Do you see that? Burnie and Starla are sharing the dish towel, and they're taking a cozy nap.
Except only one of us is sleeping because the other one is snoring like a garbage truck. You hear that? That's Breezy. She says it's Story Time. All right. I'll see you later, Burnie. Bye, Ms. Tab. Okay. Oh, look at that. It's a glass of orange juice. And someone has left a note. Let's see what it says. It's from Avi. "Sherry Shares had a juicer, so we made orange juice. This glass is for you." [chuckles] Well, isn't that nice? I have the best friends. Let's give it a try. Ooh. Very good. [chuck
les] Okay. Now it's time to tell the story of our day. First, I need to find my friend, Lovey. You remember her, right? She looks like a glowing heart. Would you help me look for her? You would? Well, thank you. Okay. Do you see her anywhere? The window? Oh. Well, hello there, Lovey. Would you like to join us for Story Time? Oh. You know, the wonderful thing about Lovey is that she always knows how I'm feeling. As my feelings change, Lovey's colors change, too. Like right now, I'm feeling happy
to be here with you at Story Time. And you see, Lovey is green, for happiness. Well, let's get started. Remember, telling a story is a kind of sharing, so I'm gonna share a story with all of you about my day. Today in the garden, Avi and I got curious about sharing and all of the different ways we can share with each other. You see? Lovey's orange, for curiosity. Later, we had fun playing a sharing game with Sherry Shares. But then in Craft Time, DJ Khrafty was worried that we wouldn't
have enough craft supplies for everyone. You see? Lovey's glowing gray for worry. But then we shared what we had and we were able to make beautiful share sticks together, and that made me feel proud. You see that? Lovey is purple for pride. How do you feel when you think about sharing? However you feel is the right way to feel because those are your feelings, and they matter. And sometimes, you can even feel different feelings all at once, and that's okay, too. Right, Lovey? Can I share so
mething else with you? My favorite type of sharing is sharing in happy moments with others. Sharing in someone else's happiness doesn't mean it's less happiness for you. What it does mean is more happiness for everyone. Oh, that's Breezy. She's saying it's time to say goodbye. ♪ Thank you For this time today ♪ ♪ The friends we made ♪ ♪ The food we ate ♪ ♪ The stories, and imagining ♪ ♪ So glad we had This time with you today ♪ I've had the best time with you all today. You are amazing. So
amazing that I think you should give yourself a big hug. I'll give myself one, too. Doesn't that feel good? ♪ So glad we had This time ♪ ♪ With you today ♪ Well, I'm gonna take my orange juice and go out into the garden and tell Avi all about our adventures today. And you can tell your family and friends at home, too. And I want you to have a good day today. But even if you can't have a good one, don't you dare go messing up nobody else's, hear? Very good. I love you and I'll see you next tim
